Howling Commandos in order of homosexuality

Percy Pinkerton; canonically gay. His nickname was canonically Pinky for fucks sake

Dino Manelli; I'm pretty sure Dean Martin was real life bisexual

Eric Koenig; he's either repressed gay or asexual to me and it's a 50 50 split

Dum Dum Dugan; probably was in love with Nick Fury unfortunately

Gabe Jones; wouldn't describe himself as bisexual but has had gay sex and is normal about it which is the crucial detail

Rebel Ralston; mostly straight but if Gabe wanted to be in a long term romantic relationship he would be down for that

Nick Fury; heterosexual but has been desperate enough to fuck men

Izzy Cohen; ironically probably the least homophobic of the bunch aside from maybe Gabe but is definitely heterosexual

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

[ndnbutch]

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human

I was on call yesterday watching summers @darkholme play marvel rivals and theres a squirrel girl on his team and its the kunlun capture the point and push the cart match and theyre on defense and sg jumps up to that little onclave and spends the entire game spamming mouse 1 not aiming just firing nuts into the enemy team across the map they cannot move forward they are stuck they have a venom that tries to slay the squirrel but otherwise they cannot get to the point until everyone except the squirrel dies. I see the squirrel get down and ask for healing and im like summers dont heal that squirrel they immediately jump back to their perch and start spamming mouse 1 and I go on this rant. this enraged manifesto about how you should be able report players for that behavior because its not fun for anyone. im not even playing im so mad like I rant until the end of the game. then im like we have to watch the replay. we all watch the replay and guess what! squirrel posts up on that perch for the ENTIRE FUCKING MATCH!! im not even playing and im fuming. theyre on summers side and im fuming. I genuinely believe that you should be able to report people for that behavior. I also believe you should be able to report people for spawn camping. its evil and its sick and we shouldn't allow it

i think in marvel rivals you should be able to report people who play squirrel girl by just posting up in some like perch and spamming mouse 1. like i dont have a problem with squirrel girl because i think there should be easy characters to play for new players but i think that people who play like that should be banned from video games because that is unkind and not fun for anyone

I’m afraid no marvel adaptation will ever do it like blade. the blood rave. the leather fit. the techno soundtrack. wesley fucking snipes. kris kristofferson is there for some reason and he’s killing it. the clunky 90s CGI. the R rating. the pointed and perfect f bomb drops. the female co-lead who’s as smart as she is badass and she saves blade as often as he saves her and she’s not even explicitly a love interest. “it’s still heavy” “but you’re so big?”

[mssmarvell]

somehow not shocking at all which is just so disheartening to take in as a woman in comic spaces how acts like this towards women in the industry will probably never have any repercussions and instead you will become EIC of marvel 👍
