everyone’s always like “there’s no queer representation in media, i never get to see gay characters on screen so queerbait is all i have :(” and then i go to the “have you seen this queer film” blog and most of you have not heard of a single film out of their massive backlog of posts. so uh. start there

#probably gonna delete this later but #yeah you may have a hard time finding queer rep in mainstream/corporate media #but indie filmmakers have always been working their asses off to represent us #want to be empathetic towards baby gays ofc but at a certain point it feels like weaponized incompetence #or willful ignorance ig. these aren’t even all deep cuts guys #hate to break it to you guys but. you need to diversify your media palette. which will sometimes mean going out of your way #or being uncomfortable with something you see #but that’s how you find the stuff that really speaks with you. you’ve gotta put your money where your mouth is and support indie creators #not just whenever one indie project gets lucky and is trending
