THIS!! As a George stan, I don’t really see her as LESBIANLESBIANLESBIAN! as people often hype her up to be?
Maybe I can’t say this as I’m unlabelled/uncertain/haven’t really bothered to explore it in me, but I don’t really see George in that light. It’s the same with Velma, too.
Maybe I just don’t like how LGBTQ+ is more determined by a certain look or aesthetic and anyone who fits into that look or aesthetic is automatically LGBTQ+ when that’s not how it works.
Don’t get me wrong, I can see the vision, but Lesbian!George isn’t something I headcanon. I can see her as Bi, but that’s about it.
Is it internalized h0m0ph0bia? I dunno, I don’t think so (i’m a theatre major i’m surrounded by gays and i adore them how could i be?), but that’s my two cents.
So is anyone willing to talk about the way that there are a lot of people in the Nancy Drew fandom who stereotype George Fayne when they call her a lesbian and are also occasionally weirdly sexist in the way that they do it?
Like the man times I've seen, "She's independent. I can't picture her with a man." So anyone who is attracted to men is dependent on men, is that what you wanna imply?
"She's not traditionally feminine." So you wanna imply that you have to be feminine in some way to be attracted to men?
or "It's just the vibe I get from her." The vibe from what? Her short hair? Her love of sports? Or the two reasons that I've mentioned above?
Before anyone says anything about "respecting headcanons," I'm not going to respect headcanons that are disrespectful in nature. Specifically, if the ones saying stuff like this aren't lesbians. You need to do some self-reflection on how you view people.
