Cute little rainbow heart for pride month tumblr but how about you stop disproportionally banning trans women and marking sfw queer posts as mature

Happy Pride Month, RWBY FNDM! ❤️🌈

To those who are LGBTQ+, or are allies, let’s give it up for celebrating and fighting for love! 🥰

These are the confirmed canon LGBTQ+ characters in the RWBY universe! Please do not argue about their Pride flags; if their exact identity has not been specified by CRWBY, I gave them the main Pride flag. 🏳️‍🌈 I also originally posted this drawn back in 2023, but with this update I added the canon non-binary characters Shion and Somewhat!

Listen, marketing-as-exploitation discussions aside, Rainbow Capitalism is, has been, and continues to be the canary in the coal mine of social acceptance for the queer community.

If you’ll all pardon my Americentrism for a moment, the amount, visibility, and flamboyance of Pride merch available in clothing, home goods, and comestibles stores is a DIRECT reflection of how safe it is to be queer in public in the United States.

How? Simple. Out groups aren’t profitable. If you’re not “acceptable” in the current social climate, big franchise businesses will not market to you. (Prime example - Look how quickly Target dropped all their Pride merch after having been wall-to-wall rainbows every June for almost a decade prior.)

Sure, capitalism sucks and being viewed as an exploitable marketing demographic isn’t a fun concept.

HOWEVER.

The grim truth is that being normalized enough to be considered profitable by corporations IS A GOOD THING in terms of the barometer of social acceptance.

Same thing goes for smaller businesses that throw kitschy Pride events or even just put a token rainbow flag in the window or somewhere inside the shop. That’s a level of acceptance that DID NOT EXIST thirty years ago, and I can tell you because I was there.

The fact that we can scoff and bitch about being an exploitable marketing demographic nowadays means we have made GIGANTIC strides since the 1990s. It also speaks to the fact that the drive and the conversation surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and acceptance are continuing. And getting louder.

You can be cynical about it if you want. But I will take a store that puts out lip-service rainbow merch over a world that pretends we don’t exist any day of the week. Because that will always mean something.

Sincerely, An Elder Queer

Sometimes I do wish fanfiction was more mainstream because constantly telling people “oh i didn’t do much this weekend” makes me sound so boring whereas “i hunched over my keyboard gleefully cackling as i made The Characters snuggle” makes me sound utterly deranged but at least it’s INTERESTING
