#least favorite is when journalists or companies say it
the irony of seeing people say “queer people/queer community” to be #inclusive but it makes you feel alienated instead
like as someone who grew up with queer being on the same level as faggot as fun anti gay slurs to throw around, it makes me cringe so bad that it’s like becoming the politically correct term to call gay/trans people, that cishets use it constantly, and that instead of people saying like “lesbian actor”/“bisexual musician” etc. they just say queer. it’s just really not a fun experience and so tiring when you have absolutely no desire to reclaim it but it’s basically forced on you 24/7. and honestly i cant tell if it feels worse coming from cishet people or those who are supposed to be your “fellow gays”
