I appreciate that mizu5 portrayed outing as a horrific & violating thing even if youâre accepted by the people you were outed to. I feel like a lot of times the approach taken is âwell this character wasnât going to come out anyways so theyâre going to be better off now that someone knowsâ or âeveryone accepted them so it was totally ok and fine in the endâ or even âitâs actually a relief to this character because now they donât need to come outâ - where being outed is portrayed as something beneficial in the long run. Youâre being robbed of the chance to choose when and where and if this deeply personal information gets shared and who it gets shared with, and thatâs awful and damaging in itself regardless of the outcome.
#mine#as an example - if youâve read pjo/hoo do you remember when Nico was outed to Jason#& he very clearly did not want to come out and wasnât ready and hadnât shared that information with anyone#& rickrio made this into a good thing that kickstarts Nicoâs acceptance of himself & helps him heal#instead of it being awful and traumatic. booo. awful handling of ur first lgbt main character.#when I was outed by a former friend to a group of ppl I knew would be accepting but still would have never wanted to know that info#& had I wanted to share that info I would have wanted to do so myself#it was fucking awful and violating. which she did not care about & mocked me over.
