( No Title )
honestly annoyed by the argument that the only reason it’s okay for straight/cis people to create media about lgbt people/play lgbt characters is because they might be closeted or questioning or whatever. it’s weirdly self-othering to imply that your existence is so foreign that the majority of society wouldn’t be able to depict it in any way worth doing, but some of them might just be temporarily unaware that they’re actually part of the outgroup so we might as well let them. the quality of a piece of media and its capacity to be handled badly or end up outright offensive is not inherently tied to whether or not the people that make it match 1:1 with its content.
