Re the previous post.

I get why someone might see people saying Taika's not straight cos he was at a Paris Hilton concert as perpetuating stereotypes (i personally saw it more as a joke though and maybe a light hearted pushback at those who are rabidly determined hes straight and queerbaiting and use it to delegitimise his work with queer themes).

But imo these people (mostly white queers) who are DETERMINED he's straight cos he's only been known to date women bother me more, and I feel like the first argument almost demands we all assume he's straight when he's never said one way or another (and is under no obligation to) and I don't like to assume people's sexualities.

Like, all that backlash he got for the 'everyone's queer' comment people comparing it to nt people saying 'everyone's a bit autistic' when it's not something I personally agree with but I've only heard queer friends/people say they reckon everyone is a bit queer, and others accusing him of 'queerbaiting' and he's even had think pieces written about him saying he shouldn't be seen as a queer icon cos they assume he's cishet, while David Tennant has never got the same treatment (he's not said his sexuality to the best of my knowledge either).

And like you said, he might not have said much more hinting at his sexuality after because of the backlash, and he grew up in a time people acted like bisexuality (esp in men, add on top of that dequeering of poc and assumptions all lgbtq people are white and all poc are cishet, one example is how people react to him making comments possibly maybe hinting at not being straight as an older guy with such vitriol in contrast to how Con was hero worshipped for coming out later in life, and you were seen as a monster for slightly critiquing him at that time) didn't exist.

Sorry I go off on tangents a lot lol and cram a lot of info in, I have a lot if feelings and things to say on the matter hehe

yeah and again, i can understand having a sort of trigger response to stereotyping and getting defensive about it, but i think there are people who go a bit too far with the whole “well he’s definitely obviously 100% straight and even suggesting he might not be is so unbelievably inappropriate.” like it almost feels as if the idea of him being queer personally offends them, which is really weird since he’s only ever had the exact opposite reaction.

i have a lot of thoughts about the whole “taika can’t be a queer icon unless he puts a label on himself” thing since many of the most prominent figures that are idolized by the lgbtq+ community and called “queer icons” have actually outright said they’re straight allies, but i’m not gonna get into that right now.

also without sounding too preachy i think people need to remember that the strict concepts of gender and sexuality are very much so a westernized construct. i don’t think it’s much of a secret that even people within the queer community still have very rigid views of sexuality. they understand things like bisexuality in theory, but they struggle to actually accept fluidity in practice and the fact that even finding an accurate label can be difficult for some people. it can be an extremely personal thing to even figure out and, at the end of the day, there’s no right or wrong way to present your identity.

I don't understand where the idea is coming from that the person who saw Taika at the Paris Hilton concert was saying he isn't straight purely because he was at that concert, I just assumed she was talking about her impression after actually interacting with him? Which yes could still then be based on stereotypes but it feels like a leap to say it was just "oh only a gay guy would go to that concert so he must be"

that was my assumption too so i’m just as confused as you are lmao. also because (as i mentioned on twitter) it’s kinda been a common thing for people to interact with him in a variety of places and go “yeah no there is no way that man is straight.” there was someone who told a story about meeting him at a lesbian party and everyone just went “likely place for him to be.”

i think the intent is what matters, and if someone is just sort of vibing with a person and having a 👀🏳️‍🌈⁉️ moment, that’s completely different than saying “oh i met him at a restaurant and he was wearing pink nail polish so he’s clearly gay.”
