Getting personal for a moment, I’m frustrated by how much a show I don’t watch is affecting me (granted, I was really close to giving it another try at this point, I watched the promos and the ED), but gosh, the predatory lesbian stereotype fucks me up so much. Like, I have my own deep dark personal reasons for being super concerned with not pressuring girls and stuff,  but this always reinforces that and makes me feel like I can never be careful enough because people are going to expect me to ignore consent. 

And it happens so much? Like there’s a goddamn episode of Friends that haunts me, because a lesbian manipulates Rachel into “proving” she has feelings for her and then kisses Rachel and she makes the same goddamn face as Usagi, so there’s part of me that feels girl must look at me as a ticking time bomb. And then I feel like it’s my responsibility to do something about it, which usually just means beating myself up over doing anything that might be construed as flirtatious.

Basically I’m really grateful so many people here reject this so strongly.
