i go back & forth on including misogyny/homophobia in my fantasy setting so much bc on one hand the whole conversation about "why would you put bigotry in an escapism fantasy" but also on the other hand. the power fantasy of rebuking both of those things/bigotry in general can be very cathartic & relatable. plus how else do i write the lonely lesbian angst that comes from having to face the double whammy of misogyny/homophobia if they don't exist in this world.

#rae.txt #i keep going back to like. 2015 tumblr when this discussion was at an all time high #and how the only reply to the last sentence would be 'well why not write about a happy experience instead!'#like sure. but thats not the kind of scene or the kind of character im writing.#also there needs to be room for all lesbian experiences not just the happy ones ! the upsetting ones let us know we arent alone in them too #idk. how do yall feel abt it. would love varying views on this tbh
