━━ how hard is it for these fucking idiots to understand this shit? i’ve said it again and again and more and more homophobic idiots keep coming out of the woodwork to argue with me. it’s not rocket science. it really isn’t. get it through your homophobic fucking skulls.
━━ “i’m not homophobic i support lgbt people!” okay you can say that until you turn blue in the face but it doesn’t erase the homophobic microaggressions lol
━━ while it’s not inherently homophobic to prefer straight ships over gay ones, people still need to understand this “preference,” usually lies in some form of homophobia. if you are only holding mlm/wlw ships to a “why can’t they just be friends?” standard that is *homophobic.* end of discussion.
━━ “but i support gay people irl!” means nothing to me if your other words and actions don’t line up. homophobia isn’t only violence and loud outspoken hate. homophobia can be quiet and invalidating shit like “why can’t they just be friends?” those comments say more than these people would like.
━━ a 14yr old girl on her kpop twitter account talking about how much she hates men is not hurting trans men or mlm. she is in her own space and she is allowed to joke about her bad experiences with men however she wants. unless she is actively reaching out to trans men or mlm and saying this to them to be malevolent, there is no issue.
