tbh i like artemis from the young justice tv show so much because she was a mixed asian girl who didn't really look asian. that could be blamed on just how the show's animation style looked, but her sister jade looked way more like their mother than artemis did, who resembled her white father very much. i saw myself in her, someone disconnected from her mother in phenotype and culture. the genetics are there, but one has shown through dominant and the environment has raised her away from any kind of asian influence or culture that might have been hers. it was so important to me, and still is, that i got to have her as a character i could look up to because even though her asian heritage is hardly ever spoken of and isn't a plot line integral to her character in the show, it still mattered and made artemis more than whatever biases or standards were placed on her from looks alone. we can talk about how her mother was represented in the show, and how her sister jade subsequently fell to the same fate, and how neither of their stories or heritage matters a lick to anyone except to the characters themselves, but i just want it to be known how important a mixed girl like artemis was to me

LITERALLY had the thought like yesterday or earlier today about how "fandom" seems resistant to have steve be Gay in the way where he does Not like women! and i think its kinda strange, bc like while i do love<3 bi steve, steves sexuality in canon is undefined, like assumed straight, but like that literally doesn't matter here, if we took assumed or stated straight as they cant be lgbt we would literally never have any fun! anyway, Steve's sexuality is undefined in canon so like he could be gay, he could be bi, so its not like its erasure, and we can read it any way we want, the world is ur oyster! or smth lol!
and like idk but it seems like ppl assume that bc steve has had one (1) meaningful romantic relationship with a woman he can't be gay, which idk seems a lil strange. like idk but i don't think every closeted/+unaware-of-it gay guy hates women?? and like if u are gay and unaware of it maybe the person u'd assume u have deep romantic feelings for is someone u like and care about?? idk. it also brings up something reminiscent of the whole idea that if u have been in a relationship with the "opposite" gender u can't really be gay, which......yikes.
Plus, on ao3 with no filters as of Right Now, the Gay Steve Harrington tag has 263 works, and at least a few of those use gay as an umbrella term, the Bisexual Steve Harrington tag on the other hand has 7927 works. that says...something
and like again, i Love bi steve, but i Love gay steve too, and honestly he doesn't get nearly enough love, so i love him a lil extra just for that<3
YEAH lol idk i have all my own personal conspiracies and theories about it all as a Gay Steve advocate .. i think people don't want him to be gay cuz then he's unavailable to them i think they can't conceptualise comphet for some reason i think they can't empathise with gay men and can only possibly compute Steve Harrington as bisexual because he's the ladies man and they can't POSSIBLY interpret him in any other way because it would involve rubbing more than one braincell together and the average stranger things fan watches the show with their eyes closed. and as you can tell it's incredibly frustrating but i also don't care like okay you can't see the full scope of reality and that's now My Problem NO... he is GAY and i don't CARE. i think one of the only actual reasons people hc him as bisexual is because it's the easiest interpretation and i don't think that should be a good basis tbh!!!! also there's way too many straight people who like it 🤨 concerning
