coke rant abt t/b discourse originally meant for twitter

as fucking annoying as t/b discourse is, i dont think its just about who takes it up the ass. gender roles (and its interactions with diff ethnic backgrounds) and how even fictional queer couples have gender roles and heteronormativity forced onto them is what its truly about.

something i’ve noticed in the buddie fandom is how many people tend to default as seeing buck as the bottom. I believe that it’s because a lot of people tend to see eddie as more masculine. which is fair, because the show does portray him as such. his wardrobe, in comparison to buck's, is more masculine. I.e. eddie tends to wear flannels, while buck wears soft hoodies and cardigans. eddie's pastimes and interests tend to be more masculine than buck’s; he likes muay thai and basketball, while buck likes to bake. and, of course, you have to factor in the fact that eddie is latino. because of his cultural background, many, whether they realize it or not, will automatically tie the stereotypes they have about latinos to him.

So, because eddie is (seen as) more masculine, he is automatically assumed to be the top. this, of course, is a faulty line of reasoning. someone’s gender presentation does not determine their status as a top or bottom. but because it *does* in straight relationships, it is also assumed that the same will apply to queer couples. except the whole fucking point of queer couples is that they *dont* obey gender norms. especially in art and media! if queer couples in media keep going along with gender roles, then there really wont be much representation. as a queer person, it’s really frustrating seeing basically all mlm couples in media have the same dynamic as straight couples. the more effeminate one in the couple is always more sensitive and emotive and (in the cases it applies), is usually the bottom, while the more masculine one tends to be what you expect of a straight man; less emotional, tougher, more athletic, and, of course, be the top.

i think this is a reason why many queer people (including myself) like heated rivalry and/or buddie. both people in both couples are pretty masculine. they subvert gender roles, and the thought that if you are more effeminate or, god forbid, bottom, you become “less of a man” (i’ve had that told to me in real life. someone once literally said to me “you’re not a man, you’re a twink”). shane hollander is not less of a man because he bottoms, and the show certainly does not portray him as such.

a general trend i’ve seen in fan fiction in the buddie fandom is that whoever the bottom is, they tend to get more emotional depth than the other character. which is interesting. it makes me think about that previous thought: “if you are more effeminate (i.e. bottom (even though bottoming doesn’t necessarily make you effeminate!)) then you are less of a man.” and so, if you are less of a man, you don’t have as manly qualities, such as being tough, which therefore makes you vulnerable and more emotive.

and obviously, you’re going to want your favorite character to have the most emotional depth. so you’re going to like seeing them as the bottom.

this type of thinking,whether conscious or not, is based on hurtful stereotypes, toxic masculinity, heteronormativity, and probably even internalized homophobia. this isnt meant to call anyone out or shame you for falling into this line of thinking, but i would like for you to consider why you prefer what you prefer and the motives behind that. just because the show cuts out eddie to be more masculine does not mean he can’t bottom! and btw this is just thinking about t/b dynamics, but the same could apply to d/s dynamics. and hell, thats just thinking about penetration, which isnt the only way to have sex! again! heteronormativity! please consider writing or even just thinking about buddie (or really any queer ship this might apply to) a little differently. read and write pics where one of them is characterized as more effeminate! and is the top! or the more masculine one bottoms! theyre both complex and interesting characters so they should have complex and interesting relationships with the world, others, and themselves!

anyways, this is just me coke ranting about heteronormativity and my deep hatred for gender roles. these are just my thoughts so take them with a grain of salt! think about your own experiences! dont take what i say at face value!

Sometimes I randomly remember Buck is canonically bisexual and sleeps with men and I get filled with so much joy and appreciation that all I can do is giggle and kick my feet.
