#this is just gay rep in general but trav and dt were in mind while writing this

rant about gay chars(travis phelps) and fem writers

me watching ppl write travis with a female reader, knowing he's a canonically gay character.

chat that's erasing rep, not saying it's as bad as whitewashing but it's essentially the same thing

females HE'S NOT FOR YOU!!! if you like him romantically just write drafts of him n you? make fanart?

and if u dk how to write male x male, then js don't write travis? it's like cis ppl trying to write trans chars and honestly js making rep worse

but, again, my bias of being a trans mlm aside, i can't stop you. it's just, i hate watching fem ppl erase canon gay rep js bc they find the char attractive.

and yes, ik it's not actually "erasing rep", as it's still canon. it's just very frustrating and id appreciate if writers just left gay chars with their gayness

AGAIN, i CANNOT stop you from writing male(gay char) x female, this is just a rant/vent.
