it's still wild to me that Jameela was essentially forced to perform a "coming out" ritual for gay men to accept her as a judge in Legendary because didn't all of us who follow her from the Good Place know that she was bi for years at that point? And many of them still argue that she was "gay for a day" and whatnot. It's giving heteronormativity, comphet and misogyny disguised as "queerbaiting"

#jameela jamil #the way she's attacked too...#people incessantly attack queer disabled woc and then wonder why there's so little representation #for all her activism and constant attempts to better herself i PROMISE she would've been lauded if she were a cishet able-bodied white man #i also think that most artists who don't label their sexuality who are accused of queerbaiting are ones who foster fandoms of wlw #from harry styles to jameela to taylor swift to more recently maya hawke #no one is accusing Ariana of any of this because her fanbase is gay men #the good place
