My toxic trait is that when I see people reacting to my favorite shows I feel personally offended when they don't feel the same way about my favorite characters.
it’s so sad to see every sapphic show either getting canceled or having them throw the ‘kill your sapphics’ move. (Warrior Nun, Killing Eve, First Kill, The Owl House, The Wilds, Paper Girls, I am not okay with this, Teenage bounty hunters, Dead to me, Feel good, Gentleman Jack ++) they deliver us crumbs of representation only to hide the real intent, they only want us in media as long as we don’t get a happy ending. capitalism only gives a shit till diversity is lucrative.
Nah, cause can we just all mass cancel our Netflix subscriptions and in the little window where they ask, "Why do you want to cancel ?" We just list all the amazing shows THEY FUCKING CANCELLED 🤬🤬🤬
We’re still here fighting to save ‘A league of their own’ and we’re willing to team up with other queer fandoms! (Comment, send asks or reblog if you’re interested!)
with warrior nun getting canceled i have a lot of things to say and absolutely none of them are positive
namely, the fact that shows highlighting white gay/bisexual men are renewed AND consumed much more than shows highlighting bipoc lesbians/bisexuals. and even then, the shows with white queer women dont get renewed either. its valid to argue that it shouldnt be a “competition” and ultimately i agree— but its extremely ignorant to not acknowledge societies preference towards gay men over lesbians. gay men have a step above lesbians in that men, the driving patriarchal force, arent being ignored: they are crucial to the love story. something that makes people alienate lesbians so much is the sheer fact that by our very existence we are excluding and decentering men in our lives, thus living an “abnormal” life by patriarchal standards. but its not even just the production companies— its consumers, too. you see it in fiction as well: the song of achilles being acclaimed for a book that will make you sob while gideon the ninth and books like it are barely ever acknowledged nor recommended. straight women, a vast majority of the population (duh) and thus media consumers, inherently lean towards gay men because they are similar. they both like men— thus, more media with gay love stories is renewed and consumed and recommended and acclaimed, while lesbian love stories are left in the dust— unrecommended and unacknowledged due to their inherently alienating lifestyle and plot. this is an issue of companies’ refusal to renew shows with queer women in them, but its also an issue of consumers refusing to read, watch, or recommend media that is of the “out group”. i am so tired of this!!!!!!!!!!!!
