cobra kai: karate is partly a metaphor for sex and burgeoning sexuality and identity
cobra kai: due to not being allowed to show men hitting women/boys hitting girls, everyone gets a same-gender karate nemesis + only seriously fights people of the same gender
cobra kai: wait... did we make everyone gay?

The two stories/series/media creations that make me want to gnaw on the drywall right now are Revolutionary Girl Utena, a masterful deconstruction of tropes rooted in sexism and queerphobia but with pervasive racist/imperialist elements* in the background, and Dune, a masterful deconstruction of tropes rooted in racism and imperialism but with pervasive sexist/queerphobic** elements in the background. it's hilarious it's like they're made to cancel each other out

This girl, Selene, is not just a feminine object shoving a wedge in the masculine energy, and she isn’t a potential girlfriend these boys must be on their best behavior to impress, SHE LITERALLY IS THEIR COUSIN.
She is there for the exact same reasons as them, to have fun indulging in a shared interest with family, and be rowdy with her cousins. But for the the most mundane and misogynistic reasons, having her around is a drag—just because she’s female. To them, all she is is a girl, and who wants one of those around?
Props to Selene’s dad (and other family) for seeing this as the toxic masculinity bullshit it is, and choosing his daughter.
This man doesn’t even consciously realize how much he has “other-ed” his niece in his mind, it’s is so natural for him to understand why she could be excluded in a way he would never have so easily accepted if it was any of his nephews or, god forbid, one of his own sons.

frankly idgaf about this disk horse + mandatory disclosure that im not a cop u can do what u want forever u can usr whatever words u want for urself forever love & peace on planet earth. etc. however it does feel disingenuous to say "dykes & lesbians who r only attracted to women's experiences are not & never will be unique there's no dyke who only is attracted to women experience that isn't also experienced by bi ppl / bi dykes / whoever else" when like... there is very much an alienation involved in growing up or just existing while not being attracted to the gender u are societally supposed to b attracted to. some experiences are not in fact universal. and while the idea of sexuality -specific 'spaces' is fundamentally silly and pointless to me i also think it sucks to say 'there is no lived difference between being a woman who is not attracted to men [or the implied counterpart 'there is no lived difference btwn being a man who is not attracted 2 women] vs being a woman who is." like. maybe for YOU there isn't!!!!!!!!! which is 2 say of course that this does feel like perhaps an aha pouncing on wording! type of post, & i wouldn't make it normally. because. as mentioned. this literally only matters if youre terminally online + real world works differently. & idgaf. but the author of the post im vaguing DOES really have the tone here of 'you are stupid and obviously wrong if you think being a lesbian is any different than being bisexual.' which frankly feels overgeneralizing & vague 2 the point where i'm driven 2 make a stupid little tumblr post about it.

What do you think gay men are attracted to in men that they can’t be attracted to in women?
It can’t be anything about femininity or masculinity obviously. That’s both sexist, and cultural so can’t be what drives men-only attraction.
It can’t be anything about stated identity because someone could lie just as easily as they could tell the truth in such a statement, and it makes no sense because homosexuality and heterosexuality exists in other species with no stated identities. It’s not like other animals without gender are all pan.
Saying idk it’s the vibes or some indescribable trait men have that women can’t but “I can’t explain” is a nonanswer.
Soooooooo what is it? Or do you think any sexuality but bi/pan is just cultural performance or an identity rather than an inborn orientation?

:OOO i know shes fem attracted but where was susie confirmed as a lesbian!! I looked it up but all i got were headcanons
if i'm being totally honest she's not been confirmed as anything yet, but everybody sort of agrees undyne's a lesbian despite it never being confirmed for her, and if susie's confirmed as something else later on, i'll stop calling her a lesbian! but as she's at this moment very gay coded and hasn't displayed attraction to guys, i and a lot of people just say lesbian.
