#do not send me discourse abt boyfriends ill fucking explode

[tvheadfalls]

i completely get that fear T_T esp since im scared my work will get misinterpreted or ppl will be mad that the queer rep isnt specifically tailored to them.. also like. looking at the way boyfriends comic has been treated terrifies me. like ppl have mercilessly torn that thing to shreds and i have seen almost 0 critical reasons as to why, coming from someone who hasnt read it it sounds like they just hate soft gay ppl T_T

idk anything abt the boyfriends thing (yes ive seen the accusations but they always immediately get debunked?? but idk) so yeah i agree, just feels like ppl put the standards of like mainstream media made by corporation and public figures onto some random internet person making a pastel uwu boy gay comic, and thats kinda exactly what im worried abt

not still talking abt boyfriends here bc again idk abt this, but ppl always talk about how you shouldnt put the same standards on lgbt indie creators but like it always happens every time anyway, and by the same ppl who say that too, its wild. and its not even actual criticism most of the time its just public ridicule

not even nescessarily original stuff either this happens with "cringy" fanart that gets big now too, even if there are actual concerns to be had with whatever its about, its always stuff that the creator never rly wanted outside their personal bubble being shared around as memes and its just like, man i dont give a shit what ppl draw cutesy fanart abt in their free time it doesnt matter cries, privacy is dead bro, i miss stuff being contained in specific forums and stuff so much, and dont even say that they shouldnt post it then bc man artists are starting to feel this with literally ANYTHING that might not be completely neutral sanitized stuff. and this is the website that constantly goes "you guys are pushing artists out by not interacting w them :'(" you guys r pushing artists out by being snobby and annoying actually
