Me: ugh hypermasculinity is so unattractive, why do straight men think that's what women want?
Also me when I see a cowboy: 👁🫦👁

ngl, the more I think about it, the more I feel conflicted over how people sexualize my characters.
On the one hand, it would be silly to deny that I don't go out of my way to create aesthetically pleasing/attractive characters because I love to draw what I enjoy, and I love it when people simp for them.
But on the other hand, sometimes it does bother me that people are so fixated on sex and their own arousal that they miss important lore/plot information that I get a bit frustrated

here's my most controversial opinion regarding gay discourse. get ready for this one. I think a lot of the fearmongering about "straight women who fetishize gay men" comes from trying to make a male parallel to when lesbians talk about the horrible lesbian porn industry and completely fails because the problem with lesbian porn isn't that men watch it its that it is a horrible misogynistic lesbophobic industrial complex built on the dehumanization of gay women. and by freaking out about the supposed straight women/"non men" who are fetishizing gay men it ends up weirdly gatekeeping transmasculinity and creates an artificial separation between the women who are fetishizers and the "real men" who were consuming stuff like yaoi as a way of connecting to gay masculinity before coming out. like there isn't a comparable yaoi industrial complex run by evil misandrists and you are not going to successfully find the difference between the real men and the bad women

number one thing that i hate translating tagalog to english is that i cant show the intricacies in speech.
like. the word tomboy. it means a WHOLE OTHER THING IN TAGALOG. i've apparently been called a lesbian almost my entire life and i didn't know. that or my mom used the english meaning in context rather than tagalog when i was a kid then used the tagalog meaning when i got older.
i love intricacies in language, dont you?

im really glad that my post has resonated w/ people but it also makes me feel so sad that nblw have to struggle so much especially in a community thats supposed to be about love. theres so much enbyphobia due to people STILL CONTINUING to push us into the two Accepted Boxes and watering us down to man and woman lite. unaligned people exist and should be able to be included in non-mspec identities

you know what’s so fun about being a lesbian majoring in english and french?
ok so it’s like this. you see a woman and suddenly words don’t exist. not in english. not in french. nope nada zilch.
and hindsights even funnier because wow you totally had a crush on half of your english and french teachers in secondary school…
funny how you chose english and french to major in, eh?

i am really on the verge of identifying as a lesbian because i feel like that label really does fit me but what’s confusing me is that there is one fictional tv show character who’s a man who is probably the only man i’ll ever Like but it does really confuse me as to why i feel like i may find him attractive but never any man irl
would just like to generally casually direct you to the lesbian masterdoc just in case you were looking for a bit of a read this lovely friday eve
