NARUTO FANDOM, FANDOM IS NOT ACTIVISM. LIKING A CHARACTER BECAUSE THEY ARE REVOLUTIONARY IS FINE, DISLIKING THEM IS FINE TOO. IT DOESN’T DO ANYONE DAMAGE. WE ALL HAVE CRITICAL THINKING SKILL, STFU. (I’M LOOKING AT MY WHITE AMERICAN FRIENDS, I’M SURE YOU’RE ALL ALIVE AND WELL AND CHILLING AT THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME).

When writing gay characters, writers often forget that lgbt people are people first and lgbt second. Thus when writing them, the characters seem unnatural, forced, or shoehorned. Most of the time it’s because we’re being used as marketing tools, but sometimes it’s because people don’t know how to write in lgbt characters without seeming homophobic.
Just a piece of advice: Write people. Just write a character, with a personality, traits, a backstory, etc. Being gay doesn’t have to be a part of their overall character, just a trait they have as a person. It doesn’t add or take away from the character, because they are normal.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with headcanons but the problem starts when it’s supposed to be the only interpretation and the right one. Also, it’s not a good look when you insist every feminine guy is a trans girl. Do you know what it looks like when you call every woman who is even slightly masculine a trans man? It gives off the sense that you think women can’t be strong and those who are aren’t actually women. The same applies here. It makes it seems like you think men can’t be feminine and the only ones who can be feminine are actually women. This also reinforces archaic gender roles which I thought we’ve long moved past.
If you want to headcanon every feminine guy as trans woman, more power to you but please stop calling people transphobes for not interpreting the character the same way when it’s not canon that they’re trans.
So a lot of people hc this character as gay, when he literally has a crush on a girl in canon, but find ig. And then have the nerve to call me homophobic when I ship them with my fem oc. Mate, your headcanon ain’t canon.
this! why is this so fucking accurate? I don’t mind people having their own sexuality headcanon but you don’t get to force it on those who don’t share it
