"it's not queer fiction unless the queerness is explicitly declared in the text according to currently accepted terminology and in a way that meets the approval of the entire audience" I mean follow your heart I guess but I trust myself as a queer person to recognise queer themes

Neurodiverse queers on Tumblr discussing house m.d

the difference between family guy queer headcanons and south park queer headcanons is that people who are like "peter and lois are a tft bi couple" and post memes of the characters serving cunt are like. AWARE of the comedy of treating family guy characters like their from euphoria where as south park kinnies seem to unironically be convinced that their favorite shitty racist children would use neopronouns and have "proshippers dont interact!!!" in their twitter bios.

I saw someone say Astarion bg3 is "the most queer coded man ever" and yeah. Its. Its because hes queer. He has canonically slept with men. He will date women, men, and nonbinary folks. "Queer coding" you mean the literal text they coded into the fucking game?

From a queer elder…

Being queer isn’t supposed to be palatable to non-queers.

We don’t tick little squares on a checklist of “queer enough”, we obliterate the checklist.

We defy societal norms that say our bodies, families or relationships have to look a certain way.

Queer is the insult we took away from oppressors. We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.

The people who hate us will hate us regardless of how palatable we make ourselves.

Stop licking fascist boots by policing queers who are queer in different ways than you.

Oh, someone is bi/pan trans lesbian with he/him pronouns? So what! They’re welcome on the rainbow. Their identity doesn’t have to make sense to you, it has to make sense to them.

Our identities don’t make sense to non-queers. They see us as unnatural and disgusting, so why are you turning around and crapping that same garbage out at your own community??

Once you drive the visible queers underground, the same people who hate us all will target you next. Nobody will defend you because you drove away everybody who would have.

Enough already!

— sincerely, an old queer.

tumblr changelog if staff wasn't idiots and actually understood how to get its current userbase to pay for ad-free browsing

posts marked as Mature no longer show up at all on the iOS version of the app, content policies relaxed, distinction between "Nudity" and "Sexual Content" added in community labels

literal fully-clothed images and drawings of trans people are no longer marked as "Sexual Content" what the fuck is wrong with you people

blocking someone gives you the option to also block them from selected sideblogs

option when filtering tags/etc. to fully hide filtered posts instead of displaying the "show anyway" thing

"Mutuals-Only" reblog permission

and obviously undoing the search suppression on some common lgbt tags and doing the inverse for popular terf/nazi tags would be a step in the right direction if you want to claim your website is the "queerest place on the internet"

basically my standards for gay/trans media these days are that it has to be something i'd still enjoy even if none of the characters were gay or trans. bc otherwise the whole thing is a waste of my fucking time. in 2012 i was so starved for gay representation that i'd consume anything that so much as mentioned queerness just to feel less alone but that's not the world we live in anymore and i don't want to go back to that world and i would be miserable continuing to pretend that gayness is the pinnacle of good writing in 2023 it feels so.... gross. i like being spoiled with a rapturous amount of gay content to choose from and plenty of the gay content i DON'T like is beloved by other queer people and i don't have to love every gay narrative or pretend to. so i'm no longer touching any shit that doesn't do the kind of cool storytelling that compels me. i did my years in the trenches.

"this fandom is so queer friendly!!" okay but is it a safe and fun space for fans of color? (spoiler: no its not)

[glitter-soda]

It’s honestly pathetic af that most normie straight people are better allies than a lot self proclaimed queer people.

Most straight people who aren’t conservative or terminally online tend to have a “live and let live” attitude and it’s great. They don’t think lesbians are bigots for not wanting to suck dick because they understand what a homosexual is. Like that bullshit doesn’t even cross their minds. They may misspeak or make stupid assumptions sometimes, but that’s infinitely more tolerable than getting talked down to or threatened or sexually harassed by some honey nut queerio who thinks my sexuality isn’t “inclusive” enough.

it is funny to me seeing people still use "steven universe" as an example of why we need more "messy queers" as if pearl wasn't one of the most messiest queers to appear in a children's cartoon

[catgirl-catboy]

Honestly, y'all need to stop drawing a line between "acceptable queer people" and "queer people I specifically find annoying."

Find them as annoying as you'd like! They still deserve the same basic respect you give to everyone. If only likeable, plateable queer people have rights, none of us do!
