Boost your player’s self esteem by having all villains loudly talk about how they need to capture the heroes fast before they fall under the charms of their chiseled good looks and pleasant, charming personalities.
we need a proper classification system for gay/trans content in media so we can stop confusing each other
level 0: literally nothing here
level 1: two white men interact and have 474859 fanfics on ao3
level 2: outright queerbaiting
level 3: well written relationships that can still be passed off as friendships, narratives and characterization that really speak to being gay or trans, stuff with That Vibe
level 3.5:
deliberately written as LGBT but censored into ambiguity (thanks @earthtotoddlerbitch!)
level 4: the elusive canon LGBTs. explicit relationships, characters saying “i am X”, etc.
level 5: Level four, but with main character whose LGBTQ+ isn’t the source of trauma or tension.
