BTW this is not to anyone, it's just a general i wanna just say Thang, calling people BUT MEN ESPECIALLY 'mother' or like 'my wife' my girlfriend u know u know. im not sayin the spicier examples.
does NOT , listen, N O T A L W A Y S mean
THEY ARE A BOTTOM!!!!!!!!! (The kind of bottom I'm talking about is the simplified, singular watered down version usually straight (eerily) young people love to throw away as an 'insult'. Which just emphasizes what im intending here.)
that perpetuates an already problematic perpetuated mindset THAT CAN NOT JUST BE 'AUTOMATICALLY EXCLUDED' just because IT ISN'T BEING USED IN THE CONTEXT IT ORIGINATED FROM. Serge ibaka is mother. DeMar is mother. But they also be bangin out bratty ass mfs on a daily basis like the shit is clockwork. Both can be done. that is all i wanted to get out there. ty. gootbye

I'm seeing some "oh I watch good omens with my mom/dad and they love it, we bond over it or talk about it" while I'm here on the normal toxic parents side where I tried to show it to my mom but she got bored and if I ever dared to put my dad something that had an inkling of a gay protagonist he would actually kill me (not literally, but I'm safer not knowing what would happen taking into consideration he is rather violent when angry and he is a homophobe, and I'm scared of him), looking at all these anecdotes and wondering how is it possible to be able to have a relaxed innocent conversation with your parents about a gay show you like without it ending in some either homophobic or harmful snide comments.

got this comment on my fanfic a few hours back and it's just so funny to me... like I was having a pretty shitty day before seeing this comment and now I'm just giggling like a little bitch!!!!! so true bestie!!!! haha yes team raiders indeed!!! idk why it's just so funny to me and it was also my exact thought process when writing the scene this reader is reacting too bc the OCs they're referring to are my little blorbos and they're probably this reader's little blorbos too so like I resonate with this reader on my own level... sometimes it's the little things y'know?

I truly can’t believe I have to say this but I am so so sick of some people my age (namely those who are tiktok users, and therefore are deeply influenced by “woke” stereotypes about queer people and queer identities that are often perpetrated on that site) telling me that it’s weird to talk about growing up as a female or about experiencing sexism because I’m not a girl? and that it either “makes it seem like I’m not really nonbinary” when I talk about my connection to girlhood or that these things “shouldn’t concern me.” because they very much do and that’s such an ridiculous and inconsiderate thing to say.
I was afab and whether I wanted it or not I was treated like a girl and experienced childhood as a girl. I am not out to many people in my life and in their eyes I am a girl.
as a nonbinary person I still experience and feel very connected to my girlhood and the solidarity that I have among girls and women because of shared experiences despite not often identifying as girl myself. this is because of many factors including socialization, oppression and personal identity. truly can’t believe most people I know (and quite a lot of people online as well) still don’t understand that the oppression I have experienced as a queer person who was afab and the oppression I have experienced being seen as a girl are interconnected and that we have to address multiple layers of discrimination simultaneously if we want anything to change. this is. not new information. I can’t believe people don’t get this.

I just realized that, when Byler becomes canon, THE iconic main couple of THE iconic netflix show stranger things would be a gay couple. A gay couple comprised of one boy who hated who he was and a boy who dealt with insecurities/internalized homophobia and a need to be needed, until they help each other realize that they are needed, and special, and important, and LOVED.
And while byler would be a white mlm couple, as part of a mainstream show, it would:
show gay people (who might not easily have access to LGBTQ+ positive media) that they deserve love and have a place in the world
demonstrate to homophobes that love, respect, and belonging is all gay people really want
prove to media companies that LGBTQ+ media sells, making gay characters in media more common and accessible.
Maybe shows and movies like First Kill or The Wilds or Batwoman, with female, sapphic, and POC leads, wouldn't be cancelled (as much, at least). Maybe there could be real-world effects, whether it comes in the form of laws furthering LGBTQ+ rights or a previous douchebag homophobe learning from their past mistakes and treating gay people with more love and respect.
Is this too much expectation to be put on one, currently non-canonical, white mlm ship? Absolutely. We'll need much more LGBTQ+ shows and movies (with more female and POC leads this time). But Mike and Will are a big step in the right direction.
And if Byler doesn't happen, at least we can ransack the Duffers' homes together.
