Just saw a video like "um actually rocky horror isn't good queer representation because frank sexually assaults janet" girl he kills and eats people. It's called the rocky HORROR picture show not the rocky cute gay rep tw t-slur picture show

#your first mistake was watching a camp 70s horror movie for the RePrEsEnTaTiOn #sorry that the crossdressing cannibal isnt a genderq****r soft uwu bisexual he/they #modern retelling where instead of killing him riffraff and magenta explain why SA is bad and wrong and frank posts a notes app apology #im not watching rocky horror for the rep im watching it to see transsexual fags kill people

give me ace characters who are unabashedly sexy and flirtatious.

give me aro characters who are emotional and clingy.

give me bi characters who can't even make eye contact with anyone, let alone flirt with them.

give me pan characters who are deadpan (haha get it) and have black cat energy.

give me non-binary characters who dress completely femme or masc, who don't “look non-binary”.

give me trans characters who don't completely pass as their gender but are still respected and not the butt of a joke.

fuck the stereotypes, give me more variety in queer representation.

shout out to Heartstopper for not allowing Nick's sexuality get steamrolled in the name of avoiding awkwardness or some other crappy excuse. Thank you for allowing him to correct people because respect for his identity matters more than avoiding whatever awkwardness may follow the correction. I have seen too many occasions where bisexual people will just accept people calling them gay or straight out of the desire to not cause tension.

I don't give a shit if you thought it was repetitive or cringe or whatever the fuck when Nick would say "I'm bi, actually." As someone who has been out as bisexual for a good number of years, shit like that means the absolute fucking world to me.

Thank you, Heartstopper for showing us that. Thank you, Kit for playing that role as well you have.

And to everyone else, have a great day and don't be a biphobic asshole.

More queer media that doesn't focus on being bullied and harrassed. More queer media that doesn't centre around cis gay men. More queer media that features aros and aces. More queer media that isn't about suffering. More queer media that has genderqueer people. More queer media with characters who use multiple sets of pronouns. More queer media that has supportive parents (especially fathers). More queer media that isn't about wanting to be 'normal'. More queer media that represents all the facets of drag. More queer media that represents the whole queer community

Hey you know what's super funny about the idea of "good bi rep"?

For a character to be canonically bi you have to make sure and establish that they're attracted to multiple genders. Not all mediums allow you to get inside every character's head or show what they're thinking. Flirting can be read ambiguously, and god forbid they flirt with a character who's not into them and be read as pushy or predatory. So it can be super handy to just mention an ex or two! But you better not mention too many exes because that would make them a slutty bisexual which is (checks notes) bad, and you definitely better be careful about making them poly, because that might make them, uh... greedy. Oh, and those exes? They better be perfectly amiable breakups with no conflict or drama, because it's bad to represent queer people in toxic or abusive relationships (especially queer women! very bad), and you definitely can't have them have lost a partner if the partner was queer because that's "bury your gays..." You should probably also eliminate all trauma from their backstory, just to be safe. You should probably also make sure they're not involved in crime, deception, or anything of the sort, because that would make them "deviant" and a stereotype.

But don't worry! Once you've carefully crafted your nice, monogamous, experienced-but-not-too-experienced Lawful Good bi character, you will be rewarded with your audience deeming them "boring" and quickly passing them over for other characters. :)

reminder that young, white, allosexual, alloromantic, cisgender queer people are not the only queer people and should not be the only queer representation ever. PLEASE, more black trans women, older people just discovering they’re asexual, genderqueer indigenous people, aromantic nonbinary teenagers, cute interracial lesbian couples, intersex people, etc, in media. The queer community is messy and beautiful and multifaceted and complex and colorful, and representing only the most “easily digestible” aspects of it does NOT make you a good ally or a good person. It makes you a fucking dick.

We need better queer representation in shows movies and books

We need queer POC

We need people who don't want to label their gender or sexuality

We need trans people who's transition goals aren't to look cis

We need queer people with diverse religions

We need queer people who use pronouns that don't "match" their gender

We need aromantic and asexual characters

We need disabled queer people

We need queer people who use multiple labels for themselves

We need queer people who's entire personality isn't being queer

We need queer people who aren't just there because of romance

We need real and diverse queer people in the media

much in like the way a single dorito could kill a medieval peasant, a single episode of torchwood (2006) could kill a tiktok teen

#torchwood #just watched a video essay about commodification of representation particularly bisexuality #and just got reminded of how fucking good torchwood is in this area.#watch torchwood. i will not ask again.#doctor who

Do you read fanfiction? Are you queer? Well then I’ve got the perfect survey for you!

Hi! I’m a student writing a research paper on the prevalence of queer couples and lgbtq+ representation in fanfiction and need participants for my survey. This project will be entered in a national (Very prestigious) research competition and will be judged by an academic jury. The more answers I get on this survey, the more accurate my research will be, so I'd really appreciate it if you would take the time to answer!

https://forms.gle/8sae8vzQRERAzYiX8

Update: The survey is currently being redone! You can find the reasoning behind this (and other FAQ) here [https://at.tumblr.com/mariathechosen1/queer-participation-and-representation-in/i689fhq3b2vn] and the new survey here: https://forms.gle/Tcoafs9dU627PNcn8

Here are some reasons to partcicipate:

Science and stuff

Force a highly prestigious academic jury to read more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction

Better my chances of winning real-life money by writing more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction

Help expand a largely ignored academic field (fandom studies)

It’ll only take like 8 minutes (5 minutes if you’re quick)

Uhhmmm…

Please?

The only requirement is that you have some sort of experience with fanfiction or fan works (Whether that be writing or reading). You do not have to be queer to participate and all answers are completely anonymous

Reblogs are appreciated!

This is a really important read. (fyi the title refers to the upcoming LIS, not True Colors)

Rebekkah Valentine is the real deal, she does great fucking investigative journalism.

Honestly it seems like a miracle that True Colors is as good as it is. Fuck Square Enix.

It's so cool that the entire Torchwood staff is poly and in love with each other and are simultaneously cheating on everyone in the polycule with the rest of the polycule and sometimes strangers.
