I'll never forget one time someone came to debate about the ethics of sexuality in fiction on one of my posts. I brought up Game of Thrones and they responded "My mom won't let me watch it yet but-" and I just sat with my face in my hands for a good 5 minutes.

Same-sex marriage in the US has only been in place 6.5 years and there are way too many young queer people acting like: "What is a closet and why would anyone ever want to be in one? If you are not out you simply do not exist." And projecting that whole harmful attitude GLOBALLY.

I will say it 1 million times: Only allowing visibly out LGBTQ+ people to engage with queer media isn't the woke take people think it is, it's just gatekeeping. This may come as a shock, but not everyone realizes they're queer immediately.

I think one reason for the recent spike in "puriteen" discourse is while Queer representation is making waves in kids' media, there's still no LGBTQ+ history taught in schools & anti-trans groups are spreading misinfo. So teens are taking mass marketable LGBTQ+ content to heart🧵

The entitlement people have over small LGBT creators has /got/ to stop. Other queer people don't exist solely to create depictions only you like. None of the discourse around "Good" Representation focuses on what OTHER LGBT people actually enjoy reading.

I think one of the funniest things about these takes is that fujos got their "bad" reputation by being unpalatable to men: taking media made for cishet men, homoeroticizng, sexualizing & "emasculating" Shonen male characters for their own ends. But that's upholding patriarchy?

You can consume all the wholesome LGBTQ+ media you want, BUT if you at all think not consuming NSFW, or "taboo" LGBTQ+ media makes you morally superior, newsflash: the outside world doesn't give a shit how "wholesome" your LGBTQ+ media is, it's not going to make them accept you.

Remember when people treating fictional characters like they were living, breathing entities with real feelings was just universally understood as a fan just taking things Too Far, but now a whole group of fans who do this are trying to argue that it's what 'Normal' people do🧵

All of those films focused on queer people dodging the dangers of passing, very real safety issues, and social stigmas all while still trying to live their truths and take pride in their 'freak-ness' and who they are. We grew up knowing those narratives and understanding them.

Compared to now, while it's excellent kids are getting LGBTQ+ media, these series don't discuss prejudice. It simply doesn't exist or is a non-issue. And a lot of new teen/adult series (save for maybe POSE?) aspects of what the reality has been for queer people deemed 'freaks'

And TLDR; by extension, kids are growing up with positive depictions of LGBTQ+ people but learning their "History" from conservative groups that cater to childish narratives of "Yes why of course why should you have to be exposed to these nasty groomers at PRIDE? KIDS are there!"

Heartstopper fans who agree with him while at the same time bashing joyful queer media from Asian countries where content like HS has been released for ages now need to uplift those narratives instead of using HS to put them down. We're all on the same side.

joe on the positivity of heartstopper: "i've seen some people use heartstopper's positivity as a negative, and it baffles me. [...] you can't create a world of joy without pumping some joy into it."

People need to stop with the braindead take of "Sex crimes are worse than murder because dead ppl don't have to live with trauma" How absolutely FUCKED do you have to be to think "The best thing for someone is to have the most traumatic moments of their life be their last"

I like how the "nun" discourse made everyone collectively forget the worldwide level of sexual abuse & missionary crimes perpetuated and excused by the church. Nuns have ALSO perpetuated abuse & being women doesn't absolve them of the harm they have caused children (esp Native!)

We have plenty of metaphorical films that touch on this topic all the time but this one was specifically 'Look at the dehumanization of Native people and exploitation nature' despite it not getting too graphic in terms of how Natives were treated, the sentiment was BIG there.

Yuri on Ice news I want to know about is how Mitsurou Kubo is doing because YOI was HER baby. She gave life to this show for us, & put up with MAPPA's shit for nearly a decade, she worked on IA in COVID lockdown (below img). What MAPPA did to her is every creator's greatest fear!

Shipping discourse made it so people became obsessed with differentiating between 17 & 18 y/os with "problematic age gaps" The weirdest part about the comments & QRTs is how many people think adults started this when for years I've seen young ppl calling THEMSELVES minors when-

A key thing people need to understand is that Radfems aren't JUST about being anti-trans. They believe: +Women don't know what's best for themselves including sexually +Gender Essentialism = Woman ALWAYS Good👼, Man ALWAYS Bad👿 +Porn corrupts the mind +Have no Intersectionality

This is about a 17-year-old & 18-year-old dating. You know, students who would both be in the same grade in high school. There are also people in the comments going "As long as there's no inappropriate contact it's okay! They have to wait until the 17-year-old is 18 or its bad"💀

Find it incredible that the 'We need media literacy!' fancop crowd has horseshoed back to the wildly outdated & regressive problematic take of: "Evil Characters should be physically undesirable and lack charm if they are bad people so it's very clear who is Bad and who is Good!"

I find it hilarious when people who only consume Western PG13 queer media complain about 18+ BL becuz it comes across like: "Unlike gay men's pornography that's wholesome and doesn't have any of those weird kinks or fetishes☺️" Like we get it you only watch children's cartoons😭

I have to laugh because there are people desperately grabbing at straws and lying trying to say this isn't peer-reviewed when it went through a three-tier vetting process & edits and was reviewed every step by college faculty & literary professors who work with & run the Journal

Fandom shipping morality discourse feels like being approached by a fraudulent street-science man in a top hat and cane in the year 1887: "Do not be shy! I am a professional! Watch in amazement as I predict a man's criminal history based solely on his literary excursions alone!"

🤡Saying this and turning off replies, you don't realize that's what pro-ship people have wanted the whole time for YEARS. Pro-ship people don't go around saying 'we are without sin, pure and morally correct because of what we consume. It's an issue of censorship & media literacy

"Keep it at home! Keep it behind closed doors, no one needs to know about that, CHILDREN are here." And these kids just take it all in because these conservatives are painting it in a way that demonizes and shuns Queer adults for expressing sexuality publicly as crude villains.

I feel like fandom should really bring back 'Subtext'; It was the norm before 'Queer coding/baiting' and it feels like the most neutral way to describe chemistry between characters without making any type of claim by saying 'the creators deliberately did _.' It's more flexible.

This is why it's important for people to listen to women's voices in Japan because so many see Lolita or Kawaii fashion not as rebellion or agency but as infantilizing or something they do for men's attention, and shallow 1-dimensional assumptions like that REALLY need to stop

There is a belief that a women of a certain age should dress conservatively, femininely and prettily. That women shouldn't wear big ribbons. That mothers should dress in a more reserved manner, not in a flashy way. /2

I hate what abusive people have done to fandom. The drama, the genuine abuse, all over fiction. Someone is literally dying because this kind of bullshit ruined their life. I wish these changes never happened. It's so ridiculous but it's real, and It feels like I'm going insane.

The "Be critical of media you enjoy" discourse crowd needs to realize just because someone else isn't actively being critical of that media in that VERY moment doesn't mean they aren't consuming it critically. At that point, you're leaving out the 'enjoy' part key to the phrase💀

People keep going 'How did we re-invent Puritanism?' when the whole issue this entire time has been ppl ignoring conservative groups radicalizing young teens in spaces considered inconsequential i.e. fandom. It's literally OLD purity culture being vomited up in a progressive hat.

Here's that inherent anti-sex narrative once again "How to ship LGBT couples without being toxic: Step 1: No sexual content" Their art example was literally YOI ship art where the "normal" art was the couple cuddling, and the "yaoi" art was erotically biting a character's neck
