Even LGBT people are afraid to create LGBT rep half the time because you fucking goblins critique things with LGBT rep so harshly that the second it does something that you personally don’t like it gets treated even worse than the shows that have absolutely no rep in them.

Demonizing every show that is earnestly trying to provide the rep we’ve been lacking is NOT THE WAY TO GET BETTER REP

Remember when Dream Daddy was called homophobic because a horror-themed (and non-canon, might I add) ending was found in the game’s code? Like y'all go after everything that isn’t the most saccharine, unproblematic, nothing-bad-happens-ever shit and I’m so, so sick of it. This keeps us from getting LGBT+ rep that’s actually interesting and in interesting situations! I want actual stories, but I guess you guys don’t. You just want a perfect little picture to hang on your wall.

Treating all gay people as uwu soft beans is a form of homophobia in itself, and that’s the tea. Make problematic gay characters!! Give lgbt characters flaws!! Give them interesting, non stereotypical personalities!! We’re human, and humans are flawed by nature, so treat us as such and don’t get pissed because of it.

Being LGBTQ+ isn’t our entire personalities, depsite what yall wanna think. We’re people who JUST SO HAPPEN to be LGBTQ+. Not all of us are “soft and pure uwu”, not all of us are flamboyant, there’s so many different types of people all with different personalities and values and ways of doing things and we’re all flawed in some way. All humans are, literally no one is perfect. To treat LGBTQ+ people as people who need to be represented as perfect and unproblematic 100% of the time is an impossible standard.

    While we’re at it, how about we stop acting like “gay people” is the only form of queer representation we’d like to see...
