whispers hey you can’t use the same critical framework on works by individual lgbt creators that you use for works by corporations looking for profit from lgbt stories written by straight people because the context and consumption of that content exist in completely separate spheres thannnkssssss
you can’t deride a depressed lesbian’s work for having the sad lesbian trope in it
you can’t tell a trans woman writing about being trans that she’s just writing the stereotypical trans narrative
those are their stories to tell and they’re not stereotypes they’re real lives and reducing them to the boxes het media puts us in is reproducing their oppression
And the God-tier is when people criticise individual LGBTQ people for being “stereotypical” in the way they live their lives X___x
teenagers in a post 9/11 world are so knowledgeable. im sitting at lunch at a random table and this girl whos in one of my classes is talking about the government shutdown to her friends and saying how shitty it is and how in a lot of places employees arent getting paid and how food inspections stopped. if this had happened 12 years ago, fifteen year olds wouldnt really have the knowledge on politics, but at the same time being a highschool freshman and being able to talk about how flawed capitalism is kind of sucks in a way because we’ve all been stripped from our childhoods and have been forced to grow up because of the political climate, especially in america. we just use memes and stuff to cover it up and its kinda sad
