rose tinted glasses but one thing i miss abt fandom circa 2010-2015 was that we loved internalised homophobia. people seem generally less interested in internalised homophobia as an insidious force which manifests in behaviour that’s dark and cruel and frightening and selfish. in the 2020’s it’s more of like a nameable character flaw which does not touch anyone outside the character affected by it and functions in fictional more like a sanitised internal monologue and is easily solvable. which is not really how this sort of bigotry functions -it’s not a personal failing as such more a living organism which can manifest in interpersonal relationships in odd and confusing ways.

characters do kind of have to think and act in ways which are both motivated by and facilitate shame in order for that exploration to have any meat. and sometimes that means acting in ways that are understandably but not justifiably cruel to both themselves and others, even people they love.

shame is such an interesting and complex motivator but in order to feel shame you have to engage in thoughts and behaviours that are, well, shameful.

#whatever i have more to say abt this but im at work but i just think theres a notable resistance to characters who are Good People doing #Bad Things
