oh-hello-rusty replied to your post “headcanon: youre sappier than you seem”
I'm genuinely happy for people who feel validated by the 'pure soft and cute wlw aesthetic' but I admit it personally does nothing for me either...
same. i’m not gonna poop on anyone’s parade, especially when it involves kids struggling to come to terms with themselves in a world that keeps telling them that who they are is wrong or dirty. positivity is great. and that sot of thing works for a lot of people, and i’m happy they have it
but idk, personally. when i was a young kinderqueer there was a truly shit moment when i knew i was some flavor of homo, so the straights didn’t want me, but also i wasn’t into showtunes or dance clubs or buying antiques or whatever the Rustic Wholesome Lesbian stereotype was at the time, so the gays didn’t want me either. it wasn’t until i found queercore, Team Dresch and Tribe 8 and Limp Wrist and etc, that i finally stopped feeling alone.
so while i’m happy those posts help people feel validated i also hope that the angry young queer punx and nerds and whathaveyou out there find something that validates them too.
