#maybe times have changed and a cute het couple is simply more appealing than wlw or mlm ships now :

Welcome to tumblr 2024, where we've moved past elaborate character analyses and indulgent readings into queer subtext to… ignoring subtext entirely and shipping a lesbian icon with a gay cowboy.
#the current trend of characters with copious amounts of queer subtext in heteronormative ships bother me#and just to clarify real life queerness is complex and fluid and weird and whatever people want it to be and does not have to make sense#terfs radfems and exclustionists fuck off#however this is about online fandoms#i'm just questioning the appeal of shipping an implied lesbian woman and an implied gay man together#does subtext still matter?#I remember when fandoms were hostile to shows like adventure time or su or korra or she ra using queer subtext#for not being blatant rep#despite the media landscape at the time was not accepting of blatant queerness#and still isn't in other parts of the world (*cough* China *cough*)#does queer subtext matter anymore???#maybe times have changed and a cute het couple is simply more appealing than wlw or mlm ships now :/#times like these make me miss the h!e and lwa fandoms#heck i even miss the toh fandom and that had its own issues#fandom culture#fandom spaces#fandom discourse#queer subtext#ship discourse#terfs dni#radfems dni#exclusionists dni#also yes this post is about robin and bootyhill
