anyway that xiv comic fragments' author is an out and proud biphobe so do not put his shit on my dash anymore thanks 🙏😊
for those who want to know the url of the biphobe, it's @/nights-at-crystarium
after his blantant biphobia he has chosen to ignore people who have called him out and also has the audacity to act as a victim as if he is not the one who is outright hostile to bi folks. he also thinks if he grows big enough, his biphobia will be more acceptable.
they're doubling down too, by the way
For those who haven't seen the original exchange, here's the dogwater take from anon that kicked us off:
hApPy pRiDe 🏳️🌈😚 Here's to getting upset that other queers might imagine a fictional character with no established canon sexuality to be interested in more than just one gender.
Oh, and why not sprinkle some caaaaasual racism into it! Because fans "in Japan (and maybe other places idk)" might not recognize the same shitty gender-normative stereotypes as you. So true. We the Asians should def get a pass for homophobia because our cultures are just Like That™ or whatever the fuck.
Brother. Do you know any damn thing about queerness outside of North America? Yes, Japan (and maybe other places idk) has the same/similar cultural tells for queerness because (1) Western esp American media is a major influence on global culture, and (2) shitty gendernormative and sexist beliefs are worldwide and upheld to varying levels of severity.
Holy fuck. I know people of color don't exist in English dialogues about queerness except as window dressing, but please consider perspectives outside your own. Especially during a month that celebrates the diverse spectrum of queerness.
Anyway, here's the very questionable response NAC posted and is now crashing out over:
Even if they could relate to the anon's sentiments, their response is so fucking entitled and whiny. HEY, I'M THE VICTIM. I'M BEING OPPRESSED. WHAT DO YOU MEEEEAAAAN I'M BEING INSENSITIVE TO BI/PAN/OMNISEXUAL PEOPLE YOU'RE TAKING MY WORDS IN BAD FAITH.
Like, did you all know we can have very real conversations about gay erasure without throwing other people under the bus over personal player perceptions of a fictional character's sexuality? Mind blown.
Happy Pride. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
sorry to keep harping on about this but this is what J thinks of queer creators in the community. what do we think he thinks counts as a queer creator. let's take a guess
sorry guys my bad he's a "pillar of the community" 🥺
oh wow, yeah, WHAT A PILLAR, holding us all up

Skeb style commission for my friend @pansypinetree !!
💗💜💙✨💙💗🤍 The lovely Cordelia!! 💜💜 Thank you for commissioning me, and happy pride! 🥰🌈✨
I'm currently facing a homophobic harassment campaign which illustrates it why there are fewer and fewer gay shippers. It's easier to give up and disappear than keep putting up with the hate. I'm not going to give those people the satisfaction of having bullied yet another marginalized creator out of existence, but now more than ever I need your support. Reading and sharing Fragments is free, and my patreon's only $1.
"homophobic harassment campaign" u were literally biphobic tf u expect 😭
yeah no im not letting ur ass get away with ebegging to lgbt when biphobia is part of your beliefs, everyone else is nice enough to vague post instead of coming at u directly but no I strongly believe that infighting biphobic aphobic whatever fucks like you should be immediately expunged from the community and made unable to identify as lgbt altogether. the hate towards ppl who are supposed to be your peers in a still-widely homophobic society is genuinely fucking ridiculous and we'd much rather not have u weigh us down ty!
hey i just want to say i find it so wonderful and relieving when other xiv fans also see emet selch as a gay man. from the very first moment he walked on screen, the energy of “bitter old Hollywood theater queen” was so strong and such blatant coding i never even had to consciously think about it, it was just a given. but lo and behold, i got into the fandom after catching up on the story, and found much to my shock that TONS of people are shipping him with their female wols??? i allow that fans in japan (and maybe other places, idk) might see him differently because the cultural tells for queerness are totally different there, but i have to raise my eyebrows at the americans playing the english version and still missing it. he’s literally an aging theater enthusiast in a fur-lined robe who quotes Lauren Bacall and wears noticeable makeup, whose signature body language is either a snap or a limp-wristed wave over the shoulder, and they’re somehow seeing someone who might like women? i just have to laugh. and yes, insert mandatory caveat that it isn’t that serious and there’s nothing wrong with how they’re playing barbies, but at the same time i genuinely don’t get how they aren’t seeing it. which is an extremely long winded way to say, thank you for seeing the obvious with me. i don’t necessarily expect you to publish this because it IS kind of swinging a bat at a hornet’s nest and i doubt you want that kind of attention, but i just want you to know some of us also get it. happy pride 🏳️🌈
Signing under every word. I hate to admit that I have to tone myself down and hold back on talking about something I have extremely strong, bottled up feelings about, just hope one day I grow "big" enough to stop giving a shit, and finally speak my heart out. For now keeping on my gay grind and trying to gather more people that agree with the above.
And sure, I'll post it. It's tumblr, so I expect people to behave, but my block button's ready anyway.
Fandom (in general, fandom spaces) used to be the pink people in this comic. It used to be predominantly queer before 2020s. I used to feel safe and at home. Then this happened. I still could not make my peace with it.
Hey so. I am speaking as a bi brown person from west asia (since anon is so sure everyone is american here), this is incredibly saddening disappointing to see an artist i have admired and followed for so long to engage with such blantant biphobia.
This is not me saying headcanoning him as gay is invalid. Quite the opposite. His sexuality is a blank page that we can fill out like most of other ffxiv npcs. I do follow many artists who headcanon him as gay and i cheer for them. I have just reblogged your art of them as I do quite often. I follow fragments. His portrayal as a queer person is important to me whether as a gay, bi and/or trans person, I celebrate it all. But your claims here are quite problematic on two fronts:
implying emet can only be queer by the virtue of being gay and therefore bisexuality is not a valid headcanon for him
implying that both gay and bi men has to act "visibly queer enough" to be accepted as queer (as if flamboyant theatratical make-up wearing villain can't be bi as well)
implying there aren't people who ship him with hyth AND fem wol/azem at once
implying bi4bi m/f couples are basically same as het couples and our bisexuality is only valid when we date the same gender
Everyday i have to face with a very homophobic society irl and it is very tiring and dangerous for us here. Our rights and freedom is being taken away if our existence is not a crime already. Then i log into tumblr, thinking that i am accepted and safe in ffxiv community, and then I see this absolute bullshit from fellow queer folks who should be walking by my side. Homophobes are spewing poison at us for headcanoning him as bi, y'all are saying "if you hc him as bi, you're basically homophobic." at us. And let me tell you, my fellow queer people's hatred hurts a lot worse. Because it is a betrayal.
We are both pink ones but you are pushing us out, you have the audacity to categorize us as the same as straight homophobes in the fandom, you're denying our bisexuality, acting like we, bi folks are grey ones. And then you're doing this in Pride Month.
If you can't extend basic decency to your fellow queers and if you make them feel unsafe and unwelcomed, well. You should be ashamed of yourself.
