People aren't actually mad that queer people are showing up in various things.. They're mad they have to see us as people.. and that scares the hell out of them cause they need to justify their hate.

A thing that gets ignored often is that queer actors can bring authenticity to queer roles, but can challenge directors and writers about aspects of queer life.
example: a queer actor may catch that a very type-a queer man who folds his clothes before sex may mention preparations he took for sex

Straight actors play queer people isn't brave, it's not inspiring, it's not helpful, and it is hurting queer people. Stop pretending otherwise.
It DOES prevent queer actors from finding jobs since they often won't be cast for straight roles.
It DOES mean queer representation is filtered through

Some idiots in Magic the gathering are mad at... THIS for a pride event where you can make any commander card a partner.. This angers them. The most.. milquetoast queer representation you can get. fml

sometimes you can ALMOST forget that the world hates you just for being who you are.. and then you see social media and it has to remind you

Regular reminder while you are gooning over Heated Rivalry and other similar fetish works.. Queer men are being attacked.

I see people talking about AI imploding because it makes no money, which yes.. But this ignores the reality that we have incredibly stupid and technologically illiterate politicians that can be convinced to fund tech things because future or China

if you have a list of top. martial artists in the DC Universe and you don't have Karate Kid aka Val Armorr as number 1.. your list is flawed.
if Batman is in the top 10, your list is trash.

Meanwhile DC is deaging Jon and forcing Tim out of comics again all for Damian because DC is obsessed with making him work even tho he clearly doesn't. And they've done.. nothing with any of their queer men. No titles, not on any teams.. nothing

Like... Marvel LITERALLY decided to completely waste the entire concept of Hulkling as Emperor of space for nothing and revert back to.. status quo of Hulkling being support for Billy.. while Billy reinforces he's Wanda-lite with his new outfit.

I think it is telling that while trans people and queer people are under attack.. DC and Marvel have pretty much decided to pretty much ignore that and focus on their decades of "bisexual women are hot" strategy.

gotta love how DC looked at the current landscape of comics and decided that bisexual women, who lead most of their female titles, needed while deaging a bi man and forcing another to quit being a hero and no queer men or trans people in books either...

the world is getting more and more homophobic and watching Heated Rivalry 1000 times will not necessarily make you less homophobic.

Brainiac 5 IS the smartest person in the DC Universe. Full stop. Let's stop playing.

Also saying it.. a person who is not a queer man will have more problems telling queer male stories authentically because they don't live and experience it. Stop telling queer men to shut up about that. We have the right to point that out.

this needs to be said everywhere so... here we go.
Queer men writing queer male stories IS important.
Queer actors for queer roles is important.

Checking in over here to see.. what kind of dumpster fire this is. Haven't used it in forever but.. let's see

can we get @timsheridan.bsky.social an Alm Scott sequel stat with a new male Harlequin? Acting like Molly Mayne did?. Please... I will sacrifice ComicsGaters and Homophobes to the dark gods and Red Lantern for this...

OMG this is... fire
