Some of yall do not know the difference between "media that glorifies Bad Thing" and "media that portrays Bad Thing and the audience has to use critical thinking skills" and its actually concerning

Imagine reading a new manga and joking about it being homoerotic and then it gets explicitly stated that one of the protags is gay

If I don't see any weird romance blossom between those two istg-

me in the new labour dress at galentines trying not to cry as the girls talk about their boy/girl issues (the lacuna of my personal contribution to this topic was massive and gaping) (why are we not talking about the 2008 gfc right now)

If I was told how gay Moby Dick is I would have bought the book earlier. I'm barely a 7th of the way through and Ishmael and Queequeg got fucking MARRIED??? There was no narrative reason for that to happen at all they're just fucking gay 😭😭😭

you know how sometimes theres some popular character and most of the fanstuff is mostly accurate on the surface but you personally have some lived experience shared w this character that enables you to have a deeper understanding of little nuances under the hood that inform things like their decision making and stuff. its on a sliding scale of accuracy of course. personally i mostly get this with my mental disorders with characters such as ogata but sometimes theres LITTLE TINY THINGS that bother me about specifically the various violence related fetishes. and the fact that it bothers me itself bothers me cuz i feel like. "oh Clearly you havent received or inflicted wounds for sexual pleasure". yes obviously they havent done that. nobody else does that. i am abnormal in nature and insane in the head

julian being in s7 of riverdale is the biggest mystery to me bc like there was no triplet? julian is literally a figment of nana rose's imagination used to gaslight cheryl she even got tested for chimerism and everything so WHY is he here. probably just boring real life reasons like actor availability or the writers going against their own canon for riverdale reasons but i'm hoping it's not that i hope they did not forget where he came from. he should possess a doll and chase cheryl around the house again

you know that screenshot u posted about book blurbs? would you or ur followers have any input on where that trend (describing media by elements) came from?

I was under the impression it came from tumblr, I remember early 2010s posts describing media in general like that? Makes me wonder where the tumblr ppl got that from

tbh I was also under the same impression? it was a quick and easy way for people to spread a piece of media via word of mouth within the lgbtq community, especially in the early 2010's when such content wasn't as widespread. i'm also curious if anyone knows more about it bc ppl keep blaming 'booktok' in my tags (i dont use tiktok)

whatever the new marketing tactics have originated from, i was already tired over the years of the amount of people telling me to get into something by simply stripping it down to tropes/elements as their elevator pitch 🤷‍♂️ there were a lot of things I ended up liking that I initially missed out on because nobody explained them beyond its representation and I didn't know enough about it to care to look it up.

also I'm not a huge fan of how marvel popularized the "zero spoilers" trend in recent marketing because, like, a bare explanation of what's going to happen is not going to ruin my day (it piques interest, actually.) i wonder if that has to do with anything?

the irony of me having the hots for tarantulas when i used to have such terrible arachnophobia that i;d refuse to leave the house and hallucinate spiderwebs. and now im like damn son what those eight legs do
