I don't know what this is from, but I thought it was Sam and Frodo.

Hey, by the way, if you don't think Aro or Ace people are part of the LGBTQ+ community, don't interact with me at all. I am exactly what you're against.

We should stand together, not divided.

One of my co-workers has a standing desk that he uses sitting down. It looks like this

Western lesbian representation is so bad. It’s either the series gets cancelled, a character dies, they don’t get screentime, or the storyline only focuses on the homophobia they face.

Meanwhile in Thai GL, there have been over 30 series announced for 2025 alone. And let me tell you, there’s something for everybody. Space lesbians, childhood best friends to lovers, period drama lesbians, boss x employee trope, multiple couples and love triangles, mafia action lesbians, idol x bodyguard trope, lesbian with powers to control time, prisoner lesbians, black cat x golden retriever trope, crime-solving lesbians, messy sapphic friend groups who are all in love with each other, high-school sweetheart fluff, weddings, happy endings and so much more. And this is just the beginning. There will be many more great series to come in the future.

The only thing that’s stopping more western people from watching is because of subtitles. Which is such a pity because these people say “there’s no good lesbian representation”, but there is. You just have to be better at looking for it. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment anymore, don’t watch something for the bare minimum representation.

Every time I see this:

I'm reminded of just how much the quality of the translations of electrical devices such as phones has gone down since smart phones became the default. It's ridiculous how clear it is that NO ONE checks these things. My first smart phone said "second [another]" instead of "second [unit of time]" in Finnish (toinen vs sekunti), then there's the above image and plenty of other similar things. Verbs get translated as nouns, the wrong word is chosen when Finnish has two or more possible words an English word could be translated as without context... the lack of care is very obvious, and also irritating.

the restart button in the above image says "reborn", btw
