still can't get over "there's no homophobia in ofmd!" claims, as if we don't get a flashback of childhood stede being the target of a rousing game of "smear the queer"
#ofmd#our flag means death#stede bonnet#stede fucking bonnet#mine#txt#og#s1e01#ofmd fandom crit#q slur#<-i dont usually tag this but in this context... yeah.#anyway if any of my followers dont know: smear the queer was a children's game much like tag/red rover/red light green light/etc#one kid is chosen to be ''queer'' and everyone teams up against that kid#either pelting that one kid with balls or all chasing them and trying to tackle them or something along those lines#it was before my time but my parents remember playing it. and it's the kind of insidious homophobic messaging#that gets to kids before they even know what gay means. like my parents forgot abt that game until adulthood#and they were like ''oh SHIT. that was homophobic.''#like modern (or 70s-80s) au badminton kids probably wouldnt KNOW ''we're bullying stede bc he's gay''#they would think ''the name doesnt MEAN anything! and we just choose stede all the time bc he's such an easy target''#''All in good fun!'' as badminton no. 1 said
