#it's the subtle misogny and lesbiphobia for me

[lumaxramblings]

fruity four is like "STEDDIE!!! oh well and yeah steve's lesbian sidekicks I guess"

YUUUUPPP.

and i mean. we're used to that with robin unfortunately (she's been fulfilling the spot as steve's gay mentor in many people's hornygrove's fanfictions :/) and that's frustrating in and of itself (according to rr, she's literally JUST found out she's a lesbian a year or so ago and has told exactly One person. girl she wouldn't know what bisexuality is) but it's also very frustrating w nancy

because many fruity four enjoyers don't even like nancy. and/or don't include her in general with fruity four and only ever talk about eddie, robin and steve. they either hate her for "breaking steve's heart" in s2 (steve hurt her more than she ever hurt him. Btw) or they just don't include her because, maybe subconsciously, she isn't "queer enough" for them.

n that last one is it's own can of worms but it's just so fascinating to me how they consistently treat ronance, robin, and nancy like shit, all in different ways. it's like. they were tryna speedrun the "how badly can you treat female characters" speedrun

#also steddie being more popular than ronance just proves the whole thing abt wlw and mlm. i say this as someone who is mlm btw #robin and nancy fulfil each other's arcs have plenty of scenes and have development between them #which is way more than what steddie has (some kinda fruity glances) #and yet ppl go rabid over them #it's the subtle misogny and lesbiphobia for me #anti fruity four #anti steddie
