at this point i’m convinced folks saying “people ONLY want perfect unproblematic queer characters but I’M different and want them to KILL” are just making up guys to get mad at because who. literally genuinely who are the people that only want flat/”perfect” queer rep i haven’t seen a single one since like 2018 but i’ve seen like 6 posts like this in the past week

#trousled rambles #emphasis on rambles #maybe this is just specific to my dash but i keep seeing those posts #and every single time im just. jesse what the fuck are you talking about #i promise you are not going to get cancelled for making gay characters kill people/each other bc when has that ever been a problem dude #people criticizing a character's actions are not condemning the story they're just saying Hey That Guy Kinda Sucks In A Way I Dont Like #you are allowed to say That Guy Sucks In A Way I DO Like without making it a whole Thing. you will be fine i swear to you #there's also a difference between wanting perfect unproblematic characters and thinking some rep is harmful and bad #when you're character is one Bad Gay in a story full of different kinds of morality gays you are FINE #when there is one Bad Gay and the rest of the characters are Good Not-Queers + Tokens that is where the problem is #i'm glad you're able to recognize disney's hades as a cool gay character but he's still literally propaganda #people aren't silencing you by pointing that out & critiquing other queer/queer-coded villains through the same lens #homophobia in media didn't just magically poof away with steven universe man ppl are allowed to still be wary #pbbbthth rambled more than i meant to but u get it whatever
