People pmo so bad sometimes. (CW: long rant/vent)
Like I saw a yt short talking about how Nintendo has confirmed/strongly suggested they are adding lgbtq couples in the game (gays/lesbians at least) and in the comments I saw people saying stuff like
"Why'd they have to add gay couples??"
"Remember: children play games too" (a direct quote of a comment)
And it's like... 1. gay/lesbian (and queer in general) couples exist outside of games and media... Like you walk past them EVERY DAY.. You walk past queer folks EVERY DAY. Being gay isn't out of the "norm". It's nature. It's natural. And 2. Being gay/lesbian isn't necessarily sexual?? Idk why people act like being queer is always sexual. Like can it be sexual? Yes! Is it ALWAYS sexual? Absolutely not! Acting as if kids knowing that queer individuals exist is sexualizing them/indoctrinating them is just plain ignorant and disgusting. Like a prime example is literally ME!!!! I was attracted to the same sex when I was really young (like 5) and I had absolutely no concept of what lgbtq was. I didnt even know it existed. I knew I was bisexual when I was literally 5 and I knew that my gender didn't feel normal at like 7. At those times I had no idea I was queer. I viewed myself as normal... Because being queer IS normal. And sure did I know what being gay/lesbian was when I was 7? Yeah! I have a lesbian aunt! (Who i didnt even know was a lesbian.. Shout out aunt amanda! She doesnt even know I have Tumblr lmao) but that doesnt mean I was sexualized or indoctrinated. I was taught that loving people no matter their gender/sex was normal. And that I should accept those who arent straight.
Being pissed off at two little pixel characters in a game that are queer that Nintendo said themselves confirmed would be more inclusive years ago is absolute buffoon behavior. And it just already tells me something I already know: people are fucking stupid and overly sensitive. Get a better fucking hobby if being pissed off at queers is the only one you have. Make yourself a better person in todays society where no matter what we'll always voice our experiences and our love even in moments of violence and oppression.
Stay fluffy y'all and make your miis gay in the new tomodachi life. (Also dont comment "wHaT dId YoU eXpEcT??? " you can ligma balls)
