-all men are gay (unless they’re flirty in which case they’re bi)
everyone in the notes is so god damn stupid this is a criticism of bi/lesbo/aphobic fandom culture you shouldn’t be AGREEING with the stereotypes
I made a graph
YEAH THIS IS LITERALLY IT…
Yeppp, this is the trope that the kids in 2030 are going to be judging the 2020’s harshly for, just as we now look back at some of those 2000’s/2010’s yaoi tropes and wince.
Skinny/younger boy? Bottom, secret crossdresser (but not trans), submissive in the bedroom. Muscular/older guy? Aggressive top, the man of the relationship. Lesbians? We’ve heard of them. Dear lord, it looksbadnow but at the time even acknowledging people could be gay, be the focus of a story, and have happy and fulfilling romantic lives was considered a step too subversive for mainstream pop culture
The current generation’s clumsy attempts at broadening minority representation will always become the next generation’s tired and offensive stereotypes.
