Psst, lbpq representation/girls loving each other romantically and/or sexually doesn’t inherently threaten representation for girls loving each other platonically. Lesbians have friends. Bi women have friends. We can be friends with straight lady characters, too! We have besties and sisters and moms and daughters and mentors and bosses and teammates.
Our presence in a story doesn’t magically wipe all traces of non-shippy girl relationships from the plot, and acting like it does just makes me feel like people think f/f love is a contaminant. Stop that.
And this is yet another reason why it’s good to have more than two women characters in any one piece of fiction, so that if two of them are in a romantic relationship, either or both of them can also have platonic relationships with other women.
Decent female representation means more than one or two women having to represent the entirety of women’s behavior and experience.
Completely correct. Mainstream media fiction doesn’t only have a women problem, it has a women-interacting-with-each-other problem. Think of all the fandoms where there’s “a girl” and a bunch of guys.
Straight people be like : Im not homophobic but *Says something explicitly homophobic* its just my OPINION!!1!!

remember when you could say stuff like “the earth is round” or “nazis are bad” and be absolutely certain everyone who heard you would agree

Like i really wanna know what DO straight people consider as homophobia when they think not finding gay couples “normal” and thinking that they have the “”right”” to tell those gay couples that they would never be “”normal”” to them is not homophobia???Like do straight people think that saying “I hate gay people” explicitly is the only form of homophobia or?? We have straights saying shit like “Im not homophobic but if i found out my kid is gay ill kick them out of the house that type of lifestyle is not acceptable under my roof” and im still fucking perplexed that how can they NOT see how much of a homophobe they are being???
