it's really disappointing how people's critique of jkr starts and ends with her transphobia, and they completely ignore her blatant antisemitism, racism, homophobia, slavery apologism, sympathy for the wizard nazis, (the wizard nazi incel) snape's redemption, the villain of fantastic beasts trying to stop the holocaust, and the new game literally being a rehash of the blood libel myth.

I am not a mcspirker but that doesn't mean I don't care about Bones or think he's close to them. He's family.
You can play a lot with the dynamics. The one I like best is where Jim and Bones are best friends, then Jim starts getting close to Spock and Bones feels jealous because he fears he's losing his best friend spot. So they hang out together with this obvious competitive air, putting each other down for the benefit of Jim, trying to prove to Jim that they are the best friend and the other isn't.
And then Bones gets it. Spock isn't after his spot. He wants to be something very different to Jim; he wants a romantic relationship. At which point Bones gradually quits with the competitive shit and wingmans each of them to the other. Complaining all the while that they're giving him gray hair with their slow burn nonsense. He's the first to congratulate them when they finally get together.
By the movie era he is genuinely like a brother to both of them, confident in his place in the family.
This is all yet another manifestation of my "romantic love isn't by definition closer than platonic" hobby horse. Kirk and Spock don't love Bones less. They love him differently.
*takes drag* but that's just, like, my opinion, man. Those of you who do ship all three together, I get where you're coming from.

You're just a mammal. Let yourself act like it. Your brain needs enrichment. Your body needs rest. You feel hunger and grow hair. You need to pack bond with other sentient things so you don't become unsocialized and neurotic. You are biologically inclined to seek dopamine and become sick when chronically stressed. "Hedonism" is made up to place moral value on taking pleasure in sensory experiences. I am telling you that if you don't let yourself be a fucking mammal, as you were made, you will suffer and go insane. No grindset no diets no trying to be above your drive for connection. Pursue what makes you feel good and practice radial rejection of the constructs meant to turn you into a machine. You're a mammal.

I'd rather hangout with the straight boyfriend than the queer cop who insists they're one of the "good ones" while harassing people of color
I'd rather hangout with the straight palestinian grandma than the queer zionist who keeps insisting that the death of palestinians is the one way ticket to queer liberation
I'd rather hangout with the leather dyke who is a mspec gaybian and uses paw/pawself pronouns than the puritan who makes "callout posts" clearly targeting disabled queer artists
This is so incredibly stupid I love them
