the reason why there are many gay/queer ships in animes and mangas is because the authors are misogynistic pieces of shit who are unwilling to develop female characters with the same depth and nuance as the male counterparts as they believe women to be incapable of having compelling narratives beyond romance or any supporting roles and reduces them into one dimensional characters. due to this lazy storytelling, the plot becomes male centric, and emotional bonds between male characters take the stage due to immense focus on male dynamics. once again, this all stems from the fundamental disregard for female characters as complex individuals and reinforces the idea that male characters hold more importance and so are given more depth, attention and emotional weight as well as being a primal part of a characters life which many authors fail do with the supposed female love interest. this is why these ships, bakugo and deku, naruto and sasuke, gojo and geto are insanely popular because fans cannot find another character who would affect and impact a charcter as much as the other did because they refuse to develop a female character well enough to have the same level of significance in the protagonist's journey. authors repeatedly sideline female characters and make them 'damsels in distress', which only serves to reinforce outdated gender roles and deprives them of the opportunity to make any real impact on the protagonist which is essential if she is supposed to be his fucking love interest. they are reduced to mere motivators for the protagonist, which very well explains why fans would gravitate towards the rich and well developed relationships between male characters as they hold genuine significance to the plot. they are more complelling, written with actual substance and the rivalries, shared history and dynamics are far more well written than anything with a female character. the male relationships evolve and offer emotional growth while the female characters lack any opportunities for growth and only serve to help the protagonist advance but never by his side. this imbalance creates an obvious void that fans eagerly fill with a well-rounded, well written dynamic that only exists within the male characters. (my goat isayama doesn't fall in this category)

I hate dudebros that complain about the diversity in across the spiderverse.

They just don't understand the glow in my best friends eyes when he realised there was an Indian Spiderman and an extremely cool one at that. And that's sad, cause India has literally the biggest population but this movie singlehandedly made him so happy you don't believe what it means to some people

on the outing of kit connor

can I just - 

the reason coming out is a thing - the whole reason we have a CONCEPT of coming out - are heteronormative social defaults. we live in a culture that assumes everyone is straight: that teaches us to assume, not only that everyone else is straight, but that we are straight, and which overwhelmingly, depending on context and location, either treats queerness as something external to the norm, something invisible and shameful, or something downright evil. and so we have a situation where, when you are queer in whatever way, coming out is never a one-and-done situation, because even if you’ve come out a hundred times in your life, strangers will continue to assume you’re cis and straight unless you tell them otherwise - which it may not always be safe to do, because of homophobia and transphobia. so out people, despite being out in whatever way, can still exist in this constant state of semi-closetedness, not because they want to, but because of the refusal of others to entertain the reality of their existence as a human default, rather than as a specialised exception to the norm. straightness and cisness can always be Assumed, says this logic, but queerness must be Proven: otherwise it cannot possibly exist.  

all this being so, when you demand that a real, human person discloses their sexuality to you before they’re ready? when you forcibly out someone? you’re contributing to the same heteronormative social defaults whose dominance you’re ostensibly using to justify Why Visible Queerness Matters, because what you’re really demanding is certainty, and the emphasis on certainty IS THE WHOLE GODDAMN PROBLEM. what you’re saying is, “I assume that everyone is straight until or unless they expressly confirm otherwise, because that’s the Correct Assumption. assuming that someone is queer, therefore, would be Incorrect, even if they’re signaling solidarity with and support for the queer community - even if they’re signaling queerness in other ways - because queerness isn’t allowed any ambiguity. I must be Certain of who is queer and who is Not, because it’s Wrong to assume a person isn’t straight” and I just.

[stares directly into the camera] really. really! who is it, I wonder, who taught you that it’s wrong to assume people aren’t straight? who told you that it’s potentially insulting to be thought of as queer, but NEVER insulting to be assumed straight? what social norms, I ask, imparted the idea that thinking of someone as queer is “imposing sexuality” on them (negative), whereas thinking of them as straight is Perfectly Normal? do you think, perhaps, that continually assuming everyone is straight to the point where you demand a public, notarised Admission Of Queerness to be exempted from that assumption maybe serves to further entrench the idea of Straight As Default, thereby creating a more hostile and less accepting environment for queer people? has it occurred to you that, if you respond with derision and hostility to anyone who (for instance) plays with gender presentation through fashion, evokes a queer aesthetic or otherwise says Fuck You to presenting as cishet without expressly confirming their queerness, you are making it HARDER for queer people to exist safely in public, to say nothing of shoring up toxic, shitty gender binaries for cishet people?

does the entertainment industry have a historical problem re: casting straight people in queer roles and praising their performances while simultaneously refusing to cast queer people in those roles because “it wouldn’t be acting”? YES. is this some homophobic bullshit? YES. does hollywood, despite its supposed status as a liberal bastion, still have a huge fucking problem with homophobia and treating out actors and other out creatives like shit? YES. 

is any of this improved by forcing queer actors to out themselves, the better to feel comforted that a FICTIONAL queer person isn’t being “disrespected” by a real human actor, or whatever the fuck other justification you’d care to run with? NO. NO IT FUCKING ISN’T. 

does forcing people to out themselves increase the lack of safety queer people feel and experience within an already homophobic industry? IT SURE FUCKING DOES. 

all of you go to your godamned rooms and think about what you’ve done

Anyways, to all my fellow bisexuals out there who have been hurt today, I see you. Let's be honest, this situation reeks of biphobia, and the worst part is that the call is coming from inside the house. This is biphobia coming from our own community. And I know that's nothing new, but it still hurts.

So, if you're hurting, and feeling isolated from the rest of the community right now, if you're feeling disconnected from the Heartstopper fandom because of this, if seeing another bi person forced out because some people only accept queerness if you have a partner of the same gender is making you feel invalidated and alone, this post is for you.

I see you, I love you, I support you. Your bisexuality is valid, you are queer enough, you belong in queer spaces. It doesn't matter if you've only dated one gender or the other, or if you've never dated anyone at all, or if you've dated a mix of genders. It doesn't matter if you have a preference or not. It doesn't matter how you dress or how you act or if you fit certain stereotypes or boxes, or if you don't fit them. No matter what, you are a part of this community.

The people who don't want us in this community are wrong, and they're narrow-minded. It's the LGBTQIA+ community. We've always been a part of it, and we always will be.

hey remember when Aled Last said "there's this idea that if you're not straight, you have to tell [people] immediately, like you owe it to them. but you don't. you don't have to do anything until you're ready" and Charlie Spring said "you didn't just force yourself because I'm out already?" and Tara Jones said "don't feel like you have to come out to anyone before you're ready" and Nick Nelson said "I'm not saying I want to have a public announcement, but I want to tell the people who matter" and when Geoff explained that Charlie getting outed was a trauma?

remember all that??
