#in my unpopular opinion#it's a little weird for the phandom to get protective when media outlets talk about their relationship or ask dan about it#obviously media outlets are different from fans but the phandom was talking about it loudly when he was actively closeted#and I don't think it's particularly reasonable to expect media to follow rules largely inferred by phandom to be Dan's preference#he's a grownass man and he can set boundaries if he wants#and he knows acknowledging his relationship and doing interviews means they might ask#he might not like it but#you're really gonna blame a gay magazine for trying to have something coherent to say about a gay celebrity relationship?#i guess tbh i think the interviewer is right that the ~mystical unique~ attitude is a kinda...#dismissive of other people's relationships? a sort of exceptionalism#like obviously their relationship is special but you don't have to 'not like the other girls' it#you're one of many unique gay relationships and distancing yourself from that could definitely come off borderline homophobic#like Jimmy used to not like the other gays at the beginning of being out#there's probably an interesting essay to be written about the way that d&p use the same tactics that have erased queer relationships#throughout history#to... veil themselves even while openly discussing their relationship#but it does also make sense that an interviewer might be kinda fed up with that after centuries of erasure and queerbaiting w that approach
