#esp in a fandom that's still rife with seme uke and other lowkey homophobic shipping dynamics

I know gender fuckery is the name of the game with alien robots and people are allowed to headcanon and AU whatever they want, but there are some choices to genderbend certain characters that do really fucking annoy me not gonna lie

#negativity #not me seeing canon gay man characters being turned into women and or lesbians #like :)))))) yeah sure i guess that's your interpretation. it's shit tho #i guess queer and gnc men arent ~special~ enough or something #a character being gay and a man is kind of a valuable thing about specific lgbt experiences #and seeing ppl turn them into women is like. ah i see so you just completely didnt give a shit about that huh #it has to be all about you you cant possibly relate or find value in someone who isnt a mirror of you #god it's already hard enough to find good rep of queer men #esp in a fandom that's still rife with seme uke and other lowkey homophobic shipping dynamics #then ppl will take interesting canon gay men characters and be like. ah yes this is a woman #hhhhhhh because that's not potentially upsetting to anyone lol #esp when people dont even tag their shit misgendering characters #like it's funny how no one AU's arcee into being a gay man or something BC IT WOULD BE REALLY BAD TASTE #BC PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HER BEING TRANS LESBIAN IS LIKE A UNIQUE EXPRESSION THAT SHOULDNT BE ERASE #god forbid we apply that same logic to canon queer men though #being a queer man isnt a unique experience at all. there isnt anything offensive about changing them tee hee
