Things with no gay/queer rep can be progressive and groundbreaking actually and need to be part of the discussion of representation in media
Like,,,,
A show about an interracial disabled couple (that’s written well) is just as progressive as a show about two gay characters
A show with multiple well written POC characters, especially in leading roles, is progressive and should be part of the discussion
Representation has never onlymeantqueer rep.
And I hate that so many of POC and disabled people see that shows and books that represent them, not get included or acknowledge in the discussion about representation.
Just because something doesn’t represent you, doesn’t mean it’s not representing someone else.
Yes queer rep is good, of course it is (I’m neither cis nor het) but I can not begin to understand how so many of you will just,,,ignore shows that represent POC and/or disabled people in a well written and positive way because it’s not what you are. Or tell us that when we mention them as good examples of rep that it’s not really representation.
The world exist outside of you and your experience.
I was playing apollo justice and I just noticed that when Baby Trucy pulls out Mr. Hat she jumps up to make her hat fly up enough for Mr. Hat to catch it and that is cutest shit I have ever seen
is the world really such a terrible place? yesterday i asked if oat milk was extra and the barista said yes so i said ok just regular milk then and when she gave me my chai latte she whispered “i gave you oat milk ;)” doesnt that make u want to live another day?
every time i look at the mystery gang i have this like visceral feeling that someone is missing. but nobody ever is. who are they. what happened to them
logically i know this is them. these are the only people in the mystery gang. fred, daphne, velma, shaggy, and scooby. thats the 5 of them. but something deep within my lizard brain is telling me theres a 6th member that has been, for unknown reasons, banished from this timeline and our collective memory as a species
Its because of this gap between shaggy and daphne. Everyone else is touching in some way and it looks like daphne should be leaning on someone too, but they’ve been edited out and daphne has been moved along.
