REALLY wish ppl who talk abt how they ‘read lio as nonbinary’ whatever way they say that know that it is not the epic transgender ally win they think it is to say that, at least not the way they r saying it (like sometimes the way ur saying smth or why u believe smth is transphobic/homophobic!). like the character who is just a feminine gay man who has no comments made abt his appearance no question abt his gender he isnt identifying or is read any way but as a man like just rly isnt the appropriate choice for u to say hes ‘basically not a man’ bcuz of his appearance. bcuz thats just kind of fucked up and shitty. esp in promare where galos love interest is a man for a reason (and if ur saying ‘well i Read lio as not a man so promare isnt GAY exactly’ like okay well thats just homophobia dude). also when theyre like ‘lios nonbinary bcuz hes androgynous not galo tho cuz galos masculine so galos Very Male’ like just. big misunderstanding of what nonbinary even is or means or ‘who can be nonbinary’ like.. how are you fucking up this bad is all. reading chars as trans isnt ‘bad’ inherently (OBVIOUSLY??) its like the way u go about this the way u explain urself the way ur viewing gender n presentation n how ur talking abt gay men... like i think galo and lio r trans and their writing n characters become expontially better and work in a much cooler and more fun way thru that but saying 'lio is not a man bcuz hes too feminine’ is bad!
#its bad anyway but its rly not great when ur talking abt a gay guy character..#theres like. a whole lot to the way gay n bi ppls genders r viewed. that ur clearly working off of even if u dont realize it#anyway hcing lio as nonbinary is fine obviouslybut like the way u go aboutit lmfao. lio isnt a 'gender up for interpretation' character#b mindful of the way ur talking abt this#edit: ok idk if i wasnt clear enough this post is NOT SAYING LIO IS 'INTENDED' TO BE CIS OR SOMETHING#I DO NOT CARE WHAT THE CIS PPL OF TRIGGER 'INTENDED' W GALO AND LIO. THEYRE TRANS TO ME.#i am SPECIFICALLY talking about the way in which ppl can be transphobic w how they share thier 'reading' or hc of a character#it is Bad to say that a character or a person cant be a man bcuz hes 'too feminine' so he has to be Something Else#nonbinary lio is GREAT. but it is BAD to say a character like him is 'gender up for interpretation' to you#bcuz u dont think men can be feminine. i thought i was rly clear abt this
