It's Fine We're Gods

I get sent twitter screenshots. I get mad as fuck. I decide to write out my thoughts, so that I can feel less mad. Aka ✨️✨️DMD held their annual Sports Day, and right on cue Twitter loses it's fucking mind!✨️✨️

Since we ALL know, that it is a well known fact that a man expressing femininity ✨️✨️could never be done so out of personal desire✨️✨️ the annual outrage machine has officially declared that Domundi is forcing their feminine presenting actors to present that way, pushing some nefarious 🤌🏻heteronormative dynamic🤌🏻 onto them. (Read: DRIPPING sarcasm)

✨️✨️First and foremost✨️✨️

THE ACTORS HAVE LITERALLY TOLD YOU REPEATEDLY TO STOP. In a NORMAL world, this alone would be enough to quiet the discourse down. But since SOME of you, do not know what the fuck respect is, the discourse is STILL ongoing.

They have openly thanked DMD for creating an environment where they feel safe, liberated, and supported enough to present however they damn well please without judgment. But apparently, chronically online Twitter knows these grown adults better than they know themselves.

✨️✨️Imagine✨️✨️ being so deeply patronizing that you look a queer/feminine person in the eye, hear them say 'I am happy and I am being myself,' and respond with 'No sweetie, you're actually a victim of corporate heteronormativity, let me speak for you.' The audacity!!! The sheer, unadulterated arrogance!!!

Those people could ✨️✨️rent out an airplane and write across the sky✨️✨️ that they are happy and comfortable and being themselves, and you bitches would still keep going!!! :DDD

✨️✨️Second✨️✨️✨️, let's call this discourse what it actually is: internalized femphobia and homophobia wrapped in a shiny ribbon of fake progressivism.

The entire premise of the outrage hinges on the subconscious belief that a man adopting feminine presentation is inherently degraded, tricked, or 'less than.'

Newsflashhhhhhhhhhh: homophobia and femphobia aren't black and white concepts. They don't just look like overt slurs and hate speech.

They also look like the ✨️✨️uncomfortable squirming✨️✨️ some do when a guy wears makeup or a skirt. They look like the rigid, binary demand that a man MUST maintain a baseline of traditional masculinity unless he's acting out a scripted role.

You aren't protecting these men, you are telling on yourselves.

You are uncomfortable with gender non-conformity, but because you want to sound woke, you blame the evil company for 'forcing' it instead of admitting your own internalized biases.

✨️✨️Third✨️✨️, the premise doesn't even hold up to basic observation.

If DMD is running a totalitarian regime that mandates feminine presentation to enforce heteronormative binaries, someone forgot to send the memo to the rest of the roster.

The company is packed with actors who present strictly masculine, hyper sporty, or neutral day in and day out.

🤔If there were a corporate mandate, wouldn't everyone be forced into the same box?🤔

But logic doesn't sell retweets, does it?

✨️✨️Furthermore✨️✨️, a huge portion of DMDs talent is publicly out and queer. :DDD

They live their lives openly. Yet, somehow, the couch commentators on Twitter, most of whom have never genuinely interacted with a queer person in their lives and treat real human beings like fictional characters, think they understand the nuances of queer identity and expression better than actual out queer adults navigating the real world.

If we are using Twitters absurd, brain rot, deeply fucking stupid logic to evaluate Thai media companies, 🤔where does it end?🤔

By this exact logic (and it is time to PISS some of you bitches off) :

Should we crucify GMMTV for 'forcing' 90% of their male roster to present hyper masculine? Are they evil corporate overlords for locking men into suits and gym outfits, or does that pass your arbitrary purity test because it doesn't trigger your implicit femphobia? :DDDDDD

Should we burn CHANGE at the stake for 'forcing' queer narratives or capitalizing on queer series purely for money? :DDD

Orrrrr, and hear me out here, do we accept that adult performers, particularly queer ones, are allowed to have agency, style preferences, and fun at a sports day event without chronically online teenagers diagnosing them with Stockholm Syndrome?

❗️​Stop weaponizing progressive buzzwords to mask your own discomfort with feminine men.❗️

❗️❗️Listen to the actors when they tell you who they are, close spcial media, and go get a FUCKING JOB.❗️❗️

Why do you see femininity as something insulting? Why do you see femininity as something that is forced onto people? You would never look at one of the masc actors and say masculinity is being forced on them.

Poor thing, she's dying from cringe 😔
