It’s like that thing where if a meeting has women talking for 20% of the time some men freak out about how it’s all women all the time.
They’re emotionally keyed up so it feels like a bigger deal, and they’re emotionally keyed up so they’re not going to rationally assess this. That’d assuming they’re acting in good faith to begin with, which is not a given.
They think they’re losing rights and freedoms when in reality they don’t have as many more rights as disenfranchised groups than they used to. It’s not a pie chart.
I was watching an anime this season that unexpectedly to me turned out to have a large gay subplot.All of the characters turned out to be gay men and they’re all infatuated with the main character.
I was surprised that I found that entire subplot and its associated scenes so incredibly tedious. It made me wonder whether gay people feel the same way watching straight romances.
I find almost all depictions of romance in fiction to be tedious, if not cringe. For me it’s less about the gender or number of participants and more about writers not knowing how to depict an authentic, realistic romance.
That being said, Academy’s depiction of Lura and Jett’s relationship is just right to me. I was skeptical about the show because all I hear from both sides of the political aisle is how bad it is, but it’s surprisingly good.

I can’t tell you how tired I am of the privileged whining about how the onset of equality is discriminating against them.

I wish someone would shove some gay down my throat.
It’s the free drugs argument all over again, the right wing promising us good times that never actually happen in real life
