@gay-jewish-bucky IT REALLY FUCKING IS. No matter what if it’s a canon gay couple it’s just not going to be good enough for the exact same people who complain about wanting more gay rep. Part of getting gay rep is accepting that we’re going to get rep for all kinds of gays, all kinds of relationships, all levels of relevance - not just the kind that some people want or deem acceptable.

We finally have what is, in my opinion, a pretty well balanced canon queer ship that isn’t just ~hints and eye contact~, that isn’t squeaky clean, that have meaningful conversations and show love and affection like it’s not a big deal. It’s treated on equal levels to any straight ship on the show and I think that’s a breath of fresh goddamn air tbh.

I know people are always going to complain, but this topic has gotta be one of the most annoying and most exhausting ones. People should be happy we get any kind of lgbtqa+ rep, and that that rep is getting not just more diverse over the years but better too. There’s never going to be Perfect Queer Representation and to bitch and hold out for it?? To nitpick the fuck out of every ship?? Why would you, y’know??

#sorry for ranting jksdhfkds #i feel ancient saying this - like a grandma regaling her grandkids with tales of walking to and from school in the snow barefoot - but #i remember when there were no canon queer ships on tv or in movies #there wasnt shit for any of us #no matter what your label was #and now we have enough canon ships and canon lgbtqa+ characters that people feel they're entitled to be picky??#like my dude we just started getting this kind of content in my teen + adult life #maybe appreciate how far we've gotten studios and companies to come in a relatively short amount of time #maybe appreciate the positive for 2 seconds before you start demanding stuff and whining when you dont get it. especially when it #wasnt promised to you - btw. in regards to the ship i was talking about the showrunners said it was going to go down differently from #the books. they aged up the characters afterall + they were smashing 2 series together to create a whole new thing. they warned people #we got the canon ship. they put a lot of thought into writing it and the actors - who are big fans of the books - put a lot of thought #into acting it. that's the other thing!! actors who give a shit a bout providing quality queer rep!!! why are y'all not talking about that?#that's also not a given when it comes to people playing queer roles. there's a lot special going on here and to be so negative..#idk man it's doing a huge disservice to a lot of people + it ignores the progress made + it's whiny and annoying #i'm annoyed. does it show?? i think it might show #sdhjfsdkfs #sorry again for turning my reply into a rant. cole ur an angel and i love u #replies #maison speaks
