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.

Bonus points if they don’t die
