Tags on tumblr posts were one thing, but fucking huge content warnings for the word queer (in a completely non-slur context, with no other content warnings given for anything else) in front of tiktoks and youtube videos by popular creators is not it.
Don’t bother reblogging this if you’re going to tag it q-slur.
I need people who don’t ID as queer to imagine clicking on a tiktok compilation only for the first words to be “Trigger Warning: the word Lesbian” or “Gay” or “Transgender” and then the video goes on to just be…funny videos.
And then the actual use of words lesbian or gay or transgender are all positive meanwhile there are depictions/descriptions of alcohol, bullying, car crashes, or worse, none of which were content warned for.
Like…do you understand how it feels to be treated as so illicit and other and uncomfortable that people need to be warned of your label being mentioned. Of people like you who ID with that label using it in a positive manner. Please just let queer people exist.
