Sometimes you see people on the internet say shit and you're like... You realize "interesting dynamic" is not like an inherently gay thing, right? You realize heterosexual relationships are allowed to be interesting and emotionally complex and even queer? You realize this is true even if everyone involved is straight? Like I get hating the standard straight romance tropes, I mostly do too, but. Uh.
#im posting annoyance on my own blog bc I don't wanna get annoyed at the person in question where they'll see it#but i recently saw someone tag heterosexual ship art with -this feels like yuri to me-#and like#?????#Like I get preference for gay ships but uh. Something being compelling to you doesn't mean it should be gay???#God forbid you discover you like a heterosexual relationship.#This is not the biggest problem in the universe. It's just a thing that peeves me.#And it's very present in spaces I like being in. So. I encounter it a lot.#This is one of several little stupid winges I have about the way many other queer people talk about heterosexual and straight stuff#And frequently implicitly deny it the same range of complexity that exists in gay stuff.#You get to have a preference. That's fine. -I'd prefer this dynamic if it was women/men/trans/whatever- is valid. But come the fuck on#-I want to see this but gay/trans/whatever- is also valid! Just be normal about what it actually is!#THE CHARACTERS IN QUESTION ARE BOTH BI IN THIS CASE TOO IT'S NOT EVEN NOT QUEER#LIKE I GET ANNOYED ABOUT THIS RE: OVERSIMPLIFYING STRAIGHT PEOPLE TOO BUT PLEASE COME THE FUCK ON#okay I'm done winging#As I said to Ash. Im sure Id be plenty annoyed at stuff in mainstream culture too but I don't live there.#No one cares how annoying someone else's roomate is to live with.#And I'd certainly rather be in this house than the other one#I just wish my proverbial roomates were less annoying about some stuff.
