I see so many arguments over what is and isn't "good queer representation" that really just boil down to "y'all are actually arguing over matters of taste and genre preference, which is incredibly subjective and personal."

Worldbuilding where being queer is normalized and queerphobia has no impact on the plot? THAT'S FINE. Worldbuilding that includes queerphobia and tackles the effects of it as part of the story? THAT'S ALSO FINE.

Low-stakes queer romcom where the characters are fluffy and cute? THAT'S COOL. Messy queer drama with toxic people who fuck each other over and clash repeatedly? THAT'S ALSO COOL.

Stories that center the characters' queerness, show a trans character's transition, and are about the queerness as much as the rest of the plot? AWESOME. Stories where the characters' queerness isn't treated as a big deal, and have trans characters whose transition happened before the story entirely? ALSO AWESOME.

You may PREFER one thing or another, but it is actually good to have all these things. It's about variety. It's about queer characters being allowed to exist without censorship. It's about queer artists getting to make things without being told we're a "niche issue" or "adult content." It's about having as many goddamn cakes as the bakery can produce.

At the end of the day, I'd prefer a media landscape with fifty pieces of problematic queer representation over a media landscape with one single piece of queer representation that's trying (and usually failing) to be 100% perfect for everything and everyone.

trinity santos is a study in fandom misogyny because they gave her all the characteristics fandoms usually salivate for in men, being gruff, quippy and misunderstood with a tragic backstory but a heart of gold beneath it all. they put all this into her AND let her be a lesbian. she's everything you could ever want in a character but she's not a man so half the fandom either hates her or constantly mischaracterizes her as petty, callous and aggressive while doing mental gymnastics to baby the male characters around her

She had already turned to walk towards the gondola home, assuming they’d both be spending the evening at the bar, when she realized that Laudna was hanging back a step. “If—well—I did say later,” Laudna said, sounding apprehensive, “and obviously we can’t talk about it here, so if you wanted to come, you know, with me, I mean? It’s not far!” she added hastily while Imogen was still struck dumb trying to process this. “I’m just a few stops up the Center line, or it’s also a nice walk, around half an hour, but the gondola is probably better. To avoid putting that ankle to the test, I mean, better safe and all that.” She let out the very end of her breath and then added, “I have tea?”

I Prefer Girls chapter 6 is up!

It's about 15k, and I think there's some stuff in this one y'all will like. Hyperlinked, because Tumblr's link post feature is broken as hell.

Also, it's been a hot minute, so here's the main fic description again:

Whenever it all got to be too much, whenever the fear and panic and denial and longing rose too high in her chest, Imogen would press her ear against the creaky floorboards of her bedroom, close her eyes to the dust under her bed, and listen to the life she was never going to have. Or: A 1950s AU. Imogen is closeted, Laudna writes fix-its for lesbian pulps, and the city’s clandestine gay bar is right underneath Imogen’s new apartment.

Santos: I’m so worried about Whitaker, he just wants to help everyone but he’s in over his head and I’m scared that people are taking advantage of him

Robby: fear not Santos, I’ll take care of it for you :)

Robby [five minutes later]: hey Whitaker, I hear you have a pathological inability to set healthy boundaries or say no to anyone. On a completely unrelated note, could you do me, your boss, a massive favor and housesit for me while I’m away on my suicide mission sabbatical that I’m definitely not planning on coming back from? Great, thanks!
