#let us queer people have our corny simple cute stuff omg

[012mashi]

If straight people get to have their slice of life nothing fucking happens campy comics/webtoons whatever, why can't queer people?

Boyfriends is a sweet queer poly comic focused on communication between its members. Sure, the ad voices that were pushed on yt/tiktok were quite stereotypical and rather annoying, but who cares? It's not like the whole comic is voiced like that or even voiced at all.

Cringe is subjective. Even representation should never be considered universal. There's no one size rep. There's no universal standard for gay person who only enjoys X kind of media.

You don't have to like it, of course, but different flavors of media can and should co-exist. The weird insistence on one particular subjective kind of "good queer media" is beyond weird. Or that boyfriends is "objectively bad". Who is the almighty queer council that decides that? I would like to speak to them. Please stop putting things in weird arbitrary boxes.

You can't ignore trans man made healthy communication aspects AND THE PORTRAYAL OF A QUEER FUCKING POLY RELATIONSHIP THAT WE GET TO SEE SO OFTEN, SURE. Between different sexualities of mlm nontheless and not a straight guy with two hot women, as it's usually pushed. Put your poly mlm recs in the comments or my asks box, genuinely curious.

Nothing groundbreaking happens, but that's okay. It's literally part of its genre. Are people not familiar with the joke "oh the grocery store arc hits real hard in [slice of life anime]"? It's fluff, it's meant to be fluffy.

The "outrage" feels so forced. And people still digging up old tweets and actions that have been apologized for just proves it. People don't give a shit and just want to be mad, for something, for everything. How about we let people make up for their mistakes, become a better person with more understanding AND move on. That's how growth happens. Queer people are all different, let queer media be different too.

You and you alone are responsible for your media consumption, and no, the silly sweet poly comic is not out to get you. Queer force "backlash" 2.0 I fucking swear.
