so Idk if this is fandom lore, but while I used to watch and love House while it was airing, it wasn't until yesterday I really started looking into fandom and fanfic...but what's this all about RSL being the biggest Hilson hater, and Hugh Laurie being the biggest Hilson fan about??

basically it’s a running joke in the fandom about a bunch of interviews from during the show’s run in which rsl got super annoyed by anything that could, by any stretch of the imagination, imply hilson. and hugh laurie would always try to shut him up and very directly imply hilson.

from very early on in the show, hugh laurie said that he’d be fine with canon hilson as long as it was well written, and that he expected house to “go through” cameron, cuddy, and wilson if the show were to go on long enough.

rsl, on the other hand, started like a cat every time someone mentioned even the possibility of hilson, which i find hilarious considering it’s partially his fault.

these are the most famous examples:

there are many more examples, both of hugh laurie basically waving a pride flag (quite literally saying “romantic love”) and of robert sean leonard panicking, and then some more of them both being really weird about the whole thing (as in just being strange as people lol).

liking yosuke is harder than liking akechi tbh. like akechi’s crimes are entirely fictional but yosuke’s homophobia and misogyny and other general shittiness is genuinely uncomfortable for real people for very understandable reasons. ultimately i could never blame anyone for not being able to stand yosuke’s issues, and no one’s obligated to like the characters i like nor in the specific way i like them, but it’s sooo annoying to read nuanceless takes on either end of hating him based on an extremely shallow reading of the text or liking a squeaky clean sanded down version of him. and that does apply to akechi too, but i think it’s overall harder to overcome the instinctual disgust of yosuke’s actions to grapple with a sincere analysis of his character than it is for akechi, cause even without having hard stats to back this up, i’m pretty sure the demographics of people who like persona include more queer people and women who have faced any sort of prejudice than people who have been murdered, y’know?

so like, free my man. he did all that shit but he’s complex about it

The fact that after Dr Moumita was brutally raped and killed, yet to recieve a smidge of justice and evidence was even purposely destroyed to deter the investigation, people went to porn sites to search her name and find photos/ videos of her last moments alive. Recently found out this apparently happens everytime a case of someone being sexually assaulted/ killed goes "viral".

The thing is that its not exactly shocking to me, but it still makes my skin crawl. People are out here protesting and trying to get her justice, meanwhile others are doing this.

a really racist and insidious thing zionists have been doing recently is making memes of gay people being thrown off buildings and saying that this is hamas in gaza. they've been using this as a means of pinkwashing: if you support palestinians in any way, then you MUST support these barbaric hamas members throwing gay people off buildings in gaza.... right?

the images they use, however, are years old images of ISIS in syria, an entirely different islamist group in an entirely different country. this reveals their racist biases immediately and their desire to use these racist biases to their advantage: to them, all of the middle east is one nation, every islamist group is the same (including enemies such as ISIS & hamas!), and every middle eastern life taken is a terrorist life taken. that's vile in itself, but what i find most revealing? they use images of presumed gay people being thrown off buildings by ISIS and practically memeify it. "pride month in gaza" they say, as they share images of people being killed by ISIS. some examples, im censoring the bodies as the images are graphic and i find it extremely disrespectful using the dead bodies of primarily gay syrians to further your movement:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/isis-persecution-gay-men-murder-lgbt-muslim-society/

these people are not allies to gay people and especially not gay people in the middle east. they are using our oppression to push us into supporting other peoples' oppressions and laughing at the deaths of gay people while doing so. they stereotype palestinians as all homophobes who are also hamas members who are also ISIS members- therefore, if you do not support israel killing palestinian civilians, then you are supporting hamas killing gay people. they do this while ignoring that gay palestinians are going to be just as impacted by the killing of civilians as straight palestinians, and ignoring israel's history of blackmailing gay palestinians to achieve their goals, despite pretending to be the beacon of gay rights & humanity in the middle east.

as a middle eastern lesbian, i do not feel that my rights as a lesbian are being fought for when you share these images of (presumably) gay people being murdered by ISIS and then joking that it's "pride month in gaza" or "gay pilot training". instead, i feel like our oppression as gay people in the middle east is being laughed at, while simultaneously partaking in the racist dehumanisation of middle easterners by framing all of us as islamist ISIS or hamas members that throw gay people off buildings. to these people, gay people don't exist in palestine and when they do, their existence does not matter enough to call for israel not to kill innocent civilians in gaza. our deaths and oppression as gay people is only used as a propaganda piece to push for zionism, nothing more & nothing less.

Actually the implications of John also being bisexual are so fucking tasty to me because like. OG John has no support system and no protection against the world except his own perceived strength so he learns to ferret out anything that can possibly be seen as weakness to those around him and that includes any affection or attraction he might feel towards men because nothing screams "stay in your fucking closet" like spending all your time around a fringe subculture of serial killing doomsday preppers in the Midwest during the Reagan era.

By the time he notices Dean starting to look a little too long at boys his age, he's probably convinced himself that whatever he felt (still feels but ignores) was a temporary youthful indiscretion, and of course Dean can't afford those, doesn't get to have those, he's got to be a soldier. He's got to be a better soldier than John, even.

I dunno I've just had enough conversations with family members who are loudly but somehow also mildly homophobic and yet say or do things that make me *eyeballs emoji* not to think this is not only possible but arguably likely.

So I hope all the people accuse the elite of booking themselves to win all the time finally please shut the fuck up

Cannot believe I had to watch the entire elite lose their matches at the show THAT THEY INVENTED THAT LEAD TO THIS ENTIRE COMPANY EVEN EXISTING

i am a fan a joe locke and marvel comics. i really wanted to pretend that he didn’t know any better. i really wanted to pretend that this unfortunate casting wasn’t his fault. but to respond like THIS and call any criticism of his casting homophobic is incredibly childish and a bad look. jewish fans have long loved and seen themselves in billy and they have a right to be upset that not a single major jewish character from the comics is being portrayed by a jewish actor.

i have a lot of respect for joe locke and i know he’s online enough to see the criticism. i also know he gets a lot of unfair hate and i don’t think he has any duty to respond to that. but getting a lot of undue hate doesn’t mean that all criticism loses its value.

and the second quote… yeah i’m just leaving that there

The fact that Wilson’s proposal to House didn’t result in House playing into it and kissing him full on the mouth in front of everyone in that restaurant is a hate crime against me specifically
