everything Dan said about labels in BIG was so extremely real and personal to me and people really gloss over a lot of it sometimes I need to talk about it more about it when I'm not exhausted

#he spent years trying to fit into one box or another and then he finally said ah fuck this lmfao #ppl really ignore the “basically” part of basically im gay and it's like you'll get crucified if you point out the nuance #which he himself has talked about so many times #idk why celebrating someone's gayness for what it is in its own esoteric way in their own words is some kind of erasure #i guess because of the issue of ppl calling him bi because they're stupid and don't know how labels work lmao #but that aside i love that he rly is just dan and he's comfortable with that #because it's so hard not fitting into a certain ideal #the part where he said he recognises labels are really important for a lot of people and that's very valid #but he just doesn't give a fuck lmfao like....... i felt that #i felt like him saying “being a man means nothing to me” and then talking about “you could call me she or put me in a dress i wouldn't gaf”#and then calling himself a formless blob or whatever #he literally is just dan whatever that means whatever labels most closely approximate that and there rly is something so powerful #in just not giving a fuck especially on the internet where everyone is so hyper obsessed with labeling everything #and like thinking it's weird for someone to just not really care that much about labels #i feel like so many people misunderstand what he was trying to say in that part idk #like based on the amount of dangender haters #he really just does not give a fuck i fear being a man means nothing to him even if he is one like he just doesn't care #and that's so powerful <3 to me #who up not fitting into a box and feeling lost and untethered because every label you could possibly use makes you feel uncomfortable #on some level #because even trying to be unlabeled is a label in and of itself #i need Dan's therapist's number i think they could fix me #he is just not a labels guy and i love him for that i think it's very powerful and valid when people find joy and solace in labels #but it's also powerful to me when people just don't care for labels at all hadfghgfjkllsfjl #and i think that gets overlooked a lot on the anti nuance website #i love seeing posts celebrating him for being gay gay homosexual gay but i also love seeing posts celebrating him for being a formless blob #he can contain multitudes #and we can celebrate all of that per his own words #without necessarily erasing part of him #i said i wasn't gonna talk about this and then reached the tag limit lmfao i have a PROBLEMMMMM
