one thing i particularly dislike when it comes to worf treatment within fandom is this tendency some fans have to just randomly joke that he's homophobic or the straight one of the group. like where is that even coming from. pls fucking grow up
real shit!!!!! its antiblackness like thats all it is. bc they would NOT be making the same jokes about tom or janeway or o’brien characters that WOULD be more likely to say some baseless homophobic shit (janeway literally deadnames seven) (o’brien got that gay shit going on in the most homophobic way possible) (tom)
you know whos more likely to double down and be homophobic?? older white people!!! queerness is perceived so differently by people of color because our gender roles ALONE are different from white society. whites saw us enjoying being beautiful and loving who we love and decided that it was the way of the savages like no fucking joke gender norms have hurt black and brown people so bad, have ostracized us so horribly, have gotten us KILLED so we change we adapt to hyper masculinity and hyper femininity yet society will NEVER BE HAPPY because once men of color conformed to hyper masculinity as a way to protect themselves they were immediately viewed as dangerous and a threat and homophobic. bc we will always perform gender better be mad about it
its an excuse to be like “well you cant have fun and enjoy your character so we HAVE to say some negative shit about him to keep you in place and in check” like damn leave us alone let us love worf he is genuinely trying so fucking hard with all the shitty ass cards hes been dealt and you wanna say he’s homophobic to find something at fault?
why is he straight to you? why is he homophobic? is it because hes a big black klingon man? are big black men not allowed to love other men? like its always the same with fandom. grow up or shut up fr
