#so the homophobic gay bully trope is used to eradicate that guilt
Text
Kinda sick of 'queer' media that makes every primary perpetrator of homophobia gay actually...
#sometimes the problem is straight people actually! 💖#the eclipse the series#the eclipse#Chadoks entire storyline would have been better and made far far more sense if he was Dika's best friend.#and theres a mixup and Dika tries to kiss him in the classroom and they get caught so Chadok throws him under the bus#then Chadok has to live with the fact that he rejected his best friend at his most vulnerable and didn't get to reconcile at all#and the way he copes with that is by leaning heavily into the school rules as a justification that assuages his guilt#like ''he broke the rules. he was fired for it. if he hadnt broken it he wouldnt be gone. i didnt have anything to do with it''#and then Chadoks whole thing could have been like.. understanding that following rules carries the same amount of violence as breaking them#theres still a redeption arc on the cards but making him gay and in a stable relationship with Dika was a bad choice.#a gimmicky plot twist at best and playing into the ''lgbt people as the victims and perpetuators of their own oppression'' narrative#which in film and TV is used as a buffer for audiences#majority straight audiences dont like stories that force them to examine their part in perpetuating homophobia#so the homophobic gay bully trope is used to eradicate that guilt#the problem is not the system of unjustified hatred... its repressed gay individuals lashing out unjustly#which I think is where The Eclipse completely falls down#because the whole fucking point of the show is that its meant to be a scathing critique of The System#but it uses one trope for all of the perpetrators of the violence#akk: gay and repressed#chadok: gay and repressed#and finally Thua.#gay and lying about how bad the violence is to ''create a problem that isnt really there''#a huge part of Thua's storyline is the fact that he's bullied for being gay. he lets go of Kans hand to protect him from the bullying?!#and then suddenly he's outing the guy that helped him???#like ''im not outing you because of your love im outing you because of your lies.''#bullshit.#Thua outed them *because* he wants them to suffer like he does. homophobia as a punishment for lying.#but that doesnt make any fucking sense for his character. he doesnt even apologise?? just writes them a script??#you think Kan - having protected Thua from homophobic violence more than once - would be ok with Thua using it against his friends???#why is everyone okay with this?!? - anyway!! should i write this meta... or should I simply Not Do That cause its thai bl dont deep it lol
