Hiya anon!
First of all, I apologise that I took quite a bit of time to respond to this, as I’m not the most eloquent person (English is not my first language) and this is the first time I’ve gotten this kind of ask.
I myself am a cisgender straight individual, who grew up in a very conservative country where heteronormativity is the norm here, so I’m definitely not an expert in terms of the LGBTQIA+ community (my friends, if any of my wordings are inappropriate or disrespectful please correct me, I do not wish to offend or hurt any one of you ♡´・ᴗ・`♡).
Back to your ask, you requested me to make my blog LGBT free. May I ask, why?
My blog is basically a very average fanart blog, I mostly draw portrait fanarts and arts depicting scenes written in the keeper books. I just realised I rarely draw shipping art unless there’s special occasions like secret Santa gift exchange. And whatever ship art I made (both straight ships and LGBTQIA+ ships) don’t actually depict the characters kissing or even hugging (*gasps* as I realise I’ve never drawn anyone kissing), heck even my most popular Sokeefe art just shows them standing side by side, so you the viewer can either view them as a cute romantic ship or a wholesome platonic ship, whatever floats your boat. Therefore, is any of this offensive or hurting you that you’d request my blog to be LGBT free? (I’m not angry, just curious)
If you’re referring to posts or art that I reblog from my fellow keeper friends on tumblr, maybe you can consider blocking tags for posts that you do not wish to see? Many of my friends here create amazing art, writings and memes, and lots of them are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I will not and do not wish to discriminate them by not supporting their contents (plus they’re my FRIENDS!). My blog is a safe space for EVERYONE (yes this includes you and the LGBTQIA+ community). If there are tags you’d like me to use instead do let me know.
Thanks for asking nicely though, I hope you have a nice day too anon! (*^-^)
