How dare you leave this in the tags.

Remember when Lil Nas X beautifully explored his sexuality, seduced and killed the devil to the banger of all time, and instead of cheering on this openly gay and proud Black artist for his artistry and fighting back against respectability politics, suddenly said respectability politics was all the Queerest Place on the Internet cared about? Hm. Wonder what happened there.

Anyway I miss him and hope he's doing better with his mental health 🙏🏾

[creatingblackcharacters]

Like say what you want about "bad queer representation", but this was the song that made me openly and happily accept that I was bisexual. To see him up there Black and beautiful, making music that I love, absolutely killing it? Yeah. You couldn't tell me shit. This man made me proud to be out. "This will make them think we're evil for being gay" hey newsflash dawg-

[missjoolee]

Guys, I think this might be more upsetting than chocolate guy.😭

[andmaybegayer]

[freevoidman]

anyways, glad to report my gut is batting 1000 on "wow this specific creator in the xiv community gives me the ick, but there's no clear discernable reason why. I'll just avoid them for now"

[galpalaven]

anyway that xiv comic fragments' author is an out and proud biphobe so do not put his shit on my dash anymore thanks 🙏😊

[birues]

for those who want to know the url of the biphobe, it's @/nights-at-crystarium

after his blantant biphobia he has chosen to ignore people who have called him out and also has the audacity to act as a victim as if he is not the one who is outright hostile to bi folks. he also thinks if he grows big enough, his biphobia will be more acceptable.

[mythandral]

they're doubling down too, by the way

[iron-sparrow]

For those who haven't seen the original exchange, here's the dogwater take from anon that kicked us off:

hApPy pRiDe 🏳️‍🌈😚 Here's to getting upset that other queers might imagine a fictional character with no established canon sexuality to be interested in more than just one gender.

Oh, and why not sprinkle some caaaaasual racism into it! Because fans "in Japan (and maybe other places idk)" might not recognize the same shitty gender-normative stereotypes as you. So true. We the Asians should def get a pass for homophobia because our cultures are just Like That™ or whatever the fuck.

Brother. Do you know any damn thing about queerness outside of North America? Yes, Japan (and maybe other places idk) has the same/similar cultural tells for queerness because (1) Western esp American media is a major influence on global culture, and (2) shitty gendernormative and sexist beliefs are worldwide and upheld to varying levels of severity.

Holy fuck. I know people of color don't exist in English dialogues about queerness except as window dressing, but please consider perspectives outside your own. Especially during a month that celebrates the diverse spectrum of queerness.

Anyway, here's the very questionable response NAC posted and is now crashing out over:

Even if they could relate to the anon's sentiments, their response is so fucking entitled and whiny. HEY, I'M THE VICTIM. I'M BEING OPPRESSED. WHAT DO YOU MEEEEAAAAN I'M BEING INSENSITIVE TO BI/PAN/OMNISEXUAL PEOPLE YOU'RE TAKING MY WORDS IN BAD FAITH.

Like, did you all know we can have very real conversations about gay erasure without throwing other people under the bus over personal player perceptions of a fictional character's sexuality? Mind blown.

Happy Pride. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[emotional-support-carbuncle]

sorry to keep harping on about this but this is what J thinks of queer creators in the community. what do we think he thinks counts as a queer creator. let's take a guess

[galpalaven]

sorry guys my bad he's a "pillar of the community" 🥺

[arwyen-nyx]

Now it's a "homophobic harassment campaign."

Oh honey, no. No it's not.

It's a "you have a massively shitty take" campaign.

[birues]

Also FYI, he has apparently said racist things about Barret, a Black man in ff7 bc he won against Haurchefant in an attractiveness poll tournament.

[freevoidman]

The thing that kills me with the original anon post is, besides the blatant misogyny, biphobia, and racism that NAC proudly "signs under every word" is just how dumb the anon ask is.

"Oh look at all these physical mannerisms that are ONLY for the gay guys and can't possibly be used by anyone else, and how clearly this flags it as queer! But oh, Japanese fans might not get it because their culture is different, so they get a pass, but anyone else? Nah you're all dumb and blind!" these mannerisms were selected, modeled, and animated by Japanese people, but somehow Japanese people are less likely to perceive Emet as gay? Or, more importantly, if they MISS the 'blatant signs' (which are not blatant imo), they somehow get a pass because... culture? God forbid a woman thinks Emet is hot and, gasp, ships themself with him because he's a video game character, they aren't erasing your headcanoned identity for him.

To make this abundantly clear: people can interpret Emet's sexuality however they want. I'm saying this as someone who reads Emet AS GAY, he is a fictional character that anyone can make into anything they want. The moment you start to shit on real people, that's where you start getting inexcusable.

The thing about Miss Piggy is that she kind of has a Roger Rabbit comedy superpower where she wins nearly any conceivable fight she's in. But unlike other characters of which that's true, like say, Bugs Bunny, who tend to win because they make the opponent play the game with their rules, Miss Piggy wins because the joke is that she can beat the shit out of literally anybody.

[alexaloraetheris]

This just wildly reminded me of this one speculation thread I read, possibly a full decade ago, about whether Bugs Bunny would be able to beat Saitama the titular One Punch Man (I forgot the details but I think Bugs Bunny won because his is the genre power of comedy and OPM is more comedy than BB is action so he would prevail on area advantage), and now I just imagining how that same thread would go if it was Miss Piggy.

One Punch Man vs. One Karate-chop Pig

Who would win?

Miss Piggy

One Punch Man

Your justifications below please.

[alexaloraetheris]

Everybody go home, @cryptiddeer has won.

Somebody give this guy/gal a bajillion dollars and a movie studio.

[scatharthen]

Ok, but who would win in a fight between Miss Piggy and Squirrel girl?

#Squirrel girl would respectfully step aside for the queen
