#like cartoons are literally my lgbtqia+ safespace

[papaiyatree]

tl;dr : marvel sucks, they should do better.

i said this alrdy in my recent post's tags but i decided to make it into an ACTUAL post because why not :

as i said, the fact barnes was confirmed as straight broke me lmao. like i genuinely thought that this would be smth where marvel rights their wrongs and like the thing is i'm not... surprised. no shit, this is the mcu i honestly shouldn't be expecting much of them when it comes to representation they just suck at it. i mean like, from making natasha call herself a moster just because she was sterilized when she's literally an assassin who was trained by the red room? yeah just from that alone i alrdy shouldn't be expecting shit from them.

but sambucky just felt... way too real to me lmao like i saw those bitches in couples' therapy + tumble in a field of flowers and that was enough for me to think maybe marvel has their chance. They Did Not. am i suprised? no.

it was a total wreck for me when i heard of the news because like, bucky is canonically bi in the comics. all you had to do was take a page from the comics (lmao pun unintended) and then BOOM actually really good rep ! just make bucky look at mean with heart eyes and as well with women and as well as the multiple other genders that exist! how. hard. is. that.

like i am so fucking glad i grew up in a time where this home of sexual business have been more normalized. i'm so glad i grew up with rupphire and am growing up with catradora+bubbline+lumity+ more. honestly the way cartoon shows are more progressive than fucking MARVEL is so fucking funny to me but what'd i expect lmao.

i thought they were gonna make a little confirmation of feelings at e6 because for some reason, i trusted them.

the thing is, marvel doesn't actually realize how this feels to lgbtqia+ people. it made me feel so pathetic and so broken when i heard the news, no fucking joke. as of writing this rn i can feel tears trying to escape my eyes lmao. this made me feel so fucking dumb. so fucking pathetic. to state the least.

and what's even worse is that it's ME who felt like the idiot even though the writers put them in so much homoerotic things together. I'M the one feeling like an idiot even when the people in the crew purposefully did all that. and for what? nothing.

ngl it's also bad writing on their part because like? what was the point of all that? like genuinely, if it was useless to ur story, why use it? oh right. money.

mcu? do better. cartoons are evn a fucking head of you for literally everything i've seen cartoons more diverse than ur ENTIRE cinematic universe, marvel. diverse in terms of race, skin color, body type and last but not the least : sexual orientations+genders. work on it/ do better. lgbtqia+ shouldn't feel fucking stupid just because you wanted to get their, our money so you tugged with our heart strings. Stop Doing This.
