#it makes me so sad that ppl interpreting 'ambiguous' imagery/motifs/symbolism as queer produces such a vile and hateful response

[likedbyuarmyhope]

queer armys could literally just be like “as a queer person many of the themes and symbols bts use prominently in their art feel very familiar, personal and comforting” and would still get jumped by cishets/bootlicking lgbt armys calling them freaks. Oh wait  that literally does happen

#literally no one is saying 'wow this photoshoot 100% means jm is bisexual and nonbinary without a doubt' #bts continually make deliberate choices to use specific themes symbols colors imagery etc that are strongly tied to lgbt history #and common queer experiences #no one is 'assuming' anyones sexuality or gender lmao we are recognizing historically QUEER signals and interpreting them #through the lens of our own lived and shared experiences as members of the lgbt community #you know like how you might nonverbally communicate with other queer individuals to establish a base level of solidarity and safety #in a potentially unsafe or uncomfortable environment #it makes me so sad that ppl interpreting 'ambiguous' imagery/motifs/symbolism as queer produces such a vile and hateful response #especially from ppl who are supposed to be part of your community your SAFE SPACE to engage in discussions of queer issues and topics #they love to bring up 'well you all tried to change jm's pronouns remember?!?!?' when that was literally Two people #who literally every other trans army also condemned and disagreed with. that is not the airtight argument you think it is #and it has nothing to do with queer interpretations of bts' personal artistic choices #this makes me so upset i just hope queer armys never stop talking about the comfort that bts bring us through their art #aeron.txt
