Carol Danvers + lesbian tropes
1. She’s a “crazy cat lady” and all crazy cat ladies are lesbians. That’s just a fact. Come on, she literally lives alone with a cat (and probably a ton more cats by the end of the movie).
2. She’s in a marriage of convenience with a man, and historically many lesbians have been in marriages of convenience with men for reasons of safety, survival, and so forth.
3. She wears Crocs, and unfortunately many lesbians are obsessed (for reasons completely unknown to me. 🤢) with that particular type of footwear.
4. She helped raise a child with her “best friend” (*cue “historians think they were really good friends” quote here*) and keeps pictures of said woman and her child literally everywhere.
5. She gives basically every woman she ever encounters that deep, almost pained look of lesbian longing.
6. She can work the hell out of a tank top.
Please feel free to add more! 🤣
