actually asexuality ISNT about who you’re attracted to. its about how you experience sexual attraction. if you can be gay or straight and have that not affect your asexuality, its not about who you’re attracted to. and being LGB is about who you’re attracted to. sure, if you’re SGA and asexual, youre gay or bi and belong in the LGBT community. but straight cis asexuals are still straight cis people, and they dont belong in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community.
[handwritten in red and purple: “at this point I just dont understand why you want cishet aces and cis aroaces to be lgbt when you hate gay men and lesbians while using bi and trans people as discourse pawns.”]
This is an example of hate.
HOW IS THIS AN EXAMPLE OF HATE?????
It’s not, right? I’m sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t see how this is “hate” while people who are actually LGBT are literally dying, and the US government turns a blind eye (at best) and often actually encourages it.
Also it seems that our colors are always associated with villains, why is that?
Because Lavender was initially a lesbian/gay identifying color and all of these villains are actually very clearly gay coded (except Frolo obvs)
I mean seriously. Ursala is LITERALLY based on a drag queen. Stop trying to claim ace oppression using gay characters
Even Frollo has a fair dose of gay coding, in spite of the sexual frustration regarding Esmerelda.
Effeminate mannerisms
Delicate features
Ostensibly celibate cos Church (granted, in the novel, he’s an Archdeacon, and it’s been an open secret for centuries that many LGBT people entered the Church to deny their nature and avoid persecution)
Contrasts with the Manly Man of Phoebus, and to a lesser extent, Quasimodo, the heroes
It’s subtle, especially compared to the rest of the above, and while he’s not listed on TV Tropes’ page for “The Sissy Villain”, he certainly fits MUCH of that description (they even note that this kind of character is actually usually portrayed as “sexually ambiguous,” but sometimes is even written as hetero).
