#b) neil gaiman isn’t queer???? I know he’s written queer media but idk if I trust him to speak accurately on queer issues

Hmmm have to post this for clarification I think becuz ppl keep misconstruing me:

A) I think u can HC what u want no one’s stopping u (that doesn’t mean ppl can’t say things abt it)

B) HCing other versions (like a book version or whatnot) of a character that r not specifically canon to a certain sexuality/gender is fine

C) if u HC a character as multiple genders that include the canon gender, fine whatever idc

D) now when u completely erase said characters canon sexuality/gender (specifically if queer (or honestly if straight if that’s important to the character, like Tao in Heartstopper,etc.)) that’s when I start to have an issue. Representation is so important to ppl and erasing that for ur fic or art or whatever is hurtful to ppl. Esp w/ underrepresented genders and sexualities. I am begging u to think abt how it might hurt ppl when u do this okay? Imagine if u HCed a canonically bi character as gay?? It’s not cool! Why is that different for gender? I understand gender is fluid and whatnot but these r characters, and representation of specific identities is important

Anyway blah blah blah what do I know I’m a stupid kid ig
