Anyway. Bi and Mspec Lesbians aren't a hotly "debated" topic or even new to queer culture, it's just the newest thing that bullies who REALLY want to be homophobic and even racist use to justify harassing gay people they don't like.

It's the thinnest possible veneer of progressive language wrapped around TERF and reactionary rhetoric so that they can feel righteous for forming an angry mob against vulnerable targets. If you're gullible enough to fall for the newest wave of bigotry within the queer community, and turn on your allies because they're "confusing" or "invading your spaces," the SAME way they turned on bi/pan labels, trans people, xenogenders, neopronouns, and aroace people before this, then get lost.

"This fandom is so queer friendly!" This fandom literally hates, bisexual, trans, nonbinary, and aspec people but ok.

Saw this and immediately thought of your wholesome Superman rework. 🏳️‍⚧️

aaah I'm put in an awkward place when folks send other people's fanart and I...don't like it 😅 like traditionally it's fandom etiquette to just scroll away when you see fanon/fanart you don't like, but when I'm put on the spot like this and have my work directly compared to it...welp.

While it's nice to see more recognition to possible queer readings of marginalized supers, I'm wary of how mainstream queerness has been used to pinkwash adaptations of the more racialized aspects of the character in question. Superman is an allegorical analog for a white-passing Jewish immigrant, but in MAWS those themes are universalized to being just "different". There's a whole episode where Clark's marginalization is likened to that of a gay couple, and how he's forced out of the closet because having boundaries and privacy hurts his friends' feelings. Never once in the show is he likened to immigrants or people of color who experience xenophobia.

I haven't watched X-Men '97, but I do find it troubling that Sunspot- whose very origin involves him experiencing anti-Black violence- has his marginalization likened to just queer struggles. A non-Black actor has yet again been casted to portray him. Just another example of how Sunspot in particular has been gradually getting whitewashed in new takes. It's just with queerness now too.

I think this is why it kind of gets to me when people read my "wholesome" Superman-comic-about-losing-parts-of-yourself-to-xenophobia as a trans allegory. It's like whitewashing via pink kryptonite.

when you take a step back, it really is funny because the creator of the show said, "so, i'm pretty much writing this couple's story as a romcom," and a contingent of people still decided to say, "they're clearly MISERABLE!"

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

"Nine is homophobic" this and "Classic is homophobic" that

WRONG

They're literally both gay

[lynxxjay]

shoutout to SML for giving us the gayest interactions with middle-aged men

also can we talk about this commentary in Timmy's reactions??

Timmy is a shipper lol

it's funnier cuz the voice of Timmy is the same guy who plays Ronald who always brings up that Ronald likes talking to Steve and Cody's voice actor is also the voice actor for Steve Staleburger so it's basically cannon/j

Buck & Eddie in 6x13 +  ↳ some very interesting lighting choices

[makorragal-312]

I know this is rare for me given I'm a hardcore Buddie shipper, but am I the only one who wasn't really bothered by that "moment" between Tommy and Buck.

To me, it just gave off the vibe of "Hey. You're alright, man." That's honestly what it gave off to me.

THAT BEING SAID...

If Tommy does end up playing a role in Buddie possibly becoming canon, it better be for Buck and/or Eddie to realize their queerness and THAT'S IT.

No crushing. No flirtation ship. No spontaneous kisses. No dates. NONE OF THAT.

I've reached season 5 on my CSI rewatch and I'm a few episodes past "Swap Meet", where a woman is murdered after attending a swing party with other couples from the neighbourhood. Near the end of the episode there's a moment that made me jump from my seat:

(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two cups. He hands her a cup of tea.)

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - BRASS' OFFICE]

Erin Brady: Everybody fantasizes about other people. (She glances at Grissom.)

Even you, Mr. Grissom. A neighbor, a friend ... girl at the office.

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - HALLWAY]

(The door opens. Paul Brady walks out of the hallway. Erin Brady walks out into the hallway. Sara is sitting in the hallway chair watching them. She watches as they meet and kiss.)

(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two culps. He hands her a cup of tea.)

LIKE!!!!!!!

Right after Erin ends her sentence with 'girl at the office', the first time Sara and Grissom meet again, he brings her tea. This might be an innocent interaction but to me it seemed like a nod to this relationship they have where both are into each other, know about the other's feelings, but can't/won't do anything about it (although Sara has kind of given Grissom an ultimatum). I don't know if it was intentional - I'm guessing it is, because I picked it up immediately. I might or might not have squealed in delight.

Starting my fourth full 9-1-1 rewatch but this time anytime Buck is on screen I get to go "He was bisexual here" and it's actually true😭😭

[penelope-kat]

I do enjoy them very much

[antiterf]

It's kind of silly but I always see an "in-between" identity as just "ah, bisexual"

Probably because when I was first in queer online discourse I mainly got "stop being biphobic" stuff as "we are not half and half, we are our own sexuality" and generally seeing bisexuality as the forgettable middle. Sexuality being a spectrum and pointing to bisexuality as the "middle" or in-between of two binary choices. Since I don't think in words usually it can also just be purple for the same idea, you're red or blue, and the in between does not exist to many. It's purple or just the bi pride flag.

So I sit there like "gray aspecs are bisexual" and know if I say that out loud, people will assume I have the most batshit take imaginable. When really it's "they fall on the spectrum when people like binaries."

What's making me think about this currently? Looking at what being plural implies, seeing that non-system plurals can exist, and immediately going "ah, I find myself to be bisexual once again" because I'm sure it'll attract a lot of flack if you can't fit in one or the other.

So y'know how sometimes ppl do that godamn stupid fake school family shit that I despise? Theres like this kid who calls me grandpa and I don't even know them. Like seriously wtf. Anywho, that's against the point. I'm witnessing what is practically my only source of entertainment right now, bc there's like two girls who met in at and they both think they're straight but have both told me on separate occasions that they would date the other if she was a guy...

And I've know one for a while so I know her like cute and shit cute sure curls up into a little blushing ball whenever we guess who she likes so......

Idk man I don't think they're straight

[aboutyoutoo]

one of my friends from back home joined a drag king group and is always posting pictures of her at events and stuff with other cool lesbians/bi women and i'm so happy for her but also like. when's it gonna be my turn kshs......
