So near, yet so far

tumblr: oh! so he’s gay!

tumblr: ….so he’s bi!

writer: uhh…no…….he loves his guy friends but he’s not romantically/sexually attracted to them.

tumblr: ….so you’re homophobic.

writer:

for not reblogging it sooner.

which was reblogged like. last summer

I wanted to reblog both of their responses to this because, yeah. This post is ridiculous. There isn’t some huge lack of platonic relationships between men that is comparable to the lack of queer relationships.

Men being scared to show affection is a societal issue not a tumblr issue and to try and put blame on them seems like a real underhanded way of pushing your own anti shipping agenda.

I can think of plenty of male tv friendships where they show physical and emotional affection. ‘Bromance’ was a ridiculous and popular term for forever and the trope hasn’t died. Often times it gets used as queerbait.

I can only think of a very small handful of main characters in gay relationships in shows that aren’t about being gay.

1) I Didn’t Know My Cat Had PTSD and Has Gone Blind.

2) Your Cats Fight Because One of Them Doesn’t Know How to Speak Cat, and They’re Both Kinda Mad/Confused About It. 

3) Your Cat Sprays Everywhere? Get Them Fixed. Surprise Twist: They Were Fixed But It Was a Botched Operation.

4) We’re Going to Rescue 50+ Kittens, Take Them to Vegas, and Adopt Them All To Loving Homes.

Here’s a short vid pretty much showcasing the new SU game on the CN Arcade app, Diamond Alliance! As you can see in the vid, it’s super easy - you place bubbled gems into the fountain in the free spaces. The points you get per move are the amount of bubbles you put down + the amount of bubbles in a completed line x10 (So if you put down a block with 3 bubbles, which completes a line with 6 bubbles, you gain 90 points). The music is p calm and pleasant (you can’t hear it bc my screen recorder doesn’t record music in that app for some reason), and although most of the character images are just reused assets, it’s still cute. I still find it funny that one of the most important (and spoilery) scenes in the show got turned into a game that any potential SU fan could stumble upon lol. bonus: the screen you get after watching an ad to increase your score
