Yes this is about that stupid Belle video and I’m sure no one wants my hot take but like, it would be great if gay people would stop promoting harmful gay and trans stereotypes. I’m of course personally upset about the butch stuff, and I see it in a lot of ~queer made media~, butches and masc-coded lesbians often get portrayed not just as predatory, but unable to understand a woman is uninterested or straight. It’s super hurtful to me, especially because when I was just coming out I got a lot of irl-friends telling me any time I thought someone liked me, I was reading into the wrong things. And it hurts more when it’s from gay people, especially because I see a lot of “the creator is gay/bi/queer they can’t be offensive!” And that’s not true! I think there’s a level at which we can poke fun at each other, but there’s also a level where we’re pushing each other’s heads under the water to try and keep ourselves afloat, and that should be considered and examined.
