#mine is such a phenomenal character In General and to disregard his queer themes is a disservice to his character

Another thing I forgot to mention is that these people often pull the "It's actually up to interpretation, but my interpretation is the correct one." It's bullshit on both grounds. Although, this isn't the only duo or single character that they get up in arms over. Notably, both have many instances in canon nudging the audience towards queerness. Gotta deny, deflect, and do gold medal mental gymnastics to feel correct and comfortable 💀
‘it’s up to interpretation unless your interpretation deviates at all from societal norms than fuck you 🥴’ but like literally, that’s how it goes down all the time; ‘it’s up to interpretation’ is just a cop out and is just a way to say ‘sure you can think that but because it wasn’t explicitly stated despite the fact it was in this case then it’s not a valuable take but like. You’re Free To Think It you’re just wrong‘
on that note though i hate this steady progression Society seems to be taking where things have to be put in neon lights and bright letters for people to accept it as fact: the art of subtext and subtly is dying i swear even if in mine’s case it really is neon lights and bright letters- its just that those signs are Unfortunately still subtle in some cases i.e. his tattoo
like at that point it’s just more sad than anything to be so vehemently against something even slightly, sincerely queer in fiction that for once isn’t taking a jab at an identity
