in case anybody didn’t know why representation in media is so important
Rural Boys Watch The Apocalypse (rough draft) by Keaton St. James
Mermaids (1990) dir. Richard Benjamin
searching for the most "perfect" and "unproblematic" kind of representation will fuck with your ability to enjoy the media you consume. Characters are going to fuck up and act like humans. They might engage with problematic tropes and behaviours. sometimes it will be toxic and sometimes it will be soft and thats not a bad thing. you will disagree with actions and choices because thats how media works.
you dont have to love every queer character and story BUT acting like only one specific niche of representation is "acceptable" and good? fuck that. And as i said in that other post. STOP ACTING LIKE ONE MOVIE OR SHOW WILL DISMANTLE THE FIGHT FOR QUEER RIGHTS.
For everyone who's sad the Olympics is ending, saying such things as "what will I ever watch now? what will I do, there are no more sports?!" : Watch the Paralympics? Please, watch the Paralympics! It takes place between August 28th and September 8th. Disabled athletes deserve to be hyped up, too!
