okay so the problem with nonfags' analysis of homoeroticism in art is that most of you are very very bad at recognizing actual homoeroticism. I say this as a gay man.

like most of what you guys think is homoeroticism is actually just "gay bravado", which is a process where straight men ritually reinforce their own heterosexuality by joking about gay sex with each other. It's a form of homophobia. The joke is that gay sex is repulsive, bizarre, and inconceivable for them to actually engage in. it's incredibly common and I can't believe we're still having this discussion honestly

prev tags: #it does rub me the wrong way when people say men who hate women must be gay/that straight male culture is gay#like i know that its not the intention but youre still using gay as an insult there yk #but at the end of the day these men who hate women are mostly not attracted to men#because that would require a personal authentic relationship to their sexuality that they do not have #theyre literally hetero-sexual#their sexual identity is being straight#not having genuine and sincere attraction to women as human beings#but being straight

this speaking as a cis person. Nothing brings me more joy seeing people find gender euphoria in becoming a mediocre representation of humanity. And I mean that so genuinely. Local boy finds joy and fulfillment wearing a cargo shorts and t-shirt combo. Local girl has transitioned to look like someone's disheveled aunt, has never been happier. Local person experiences gender euphoria rocking the world's worst bowl-cut. Without a scap of irony, this shit makes me see the wonder and whimsy in just, being a human. An average, person going through their day-to-day, is a wondrous thing? That's amazing. And heteronormativity has stripped these experiences of their joy. Like you're right, wearing a basic girlypop skirt should make my heart sing. Why not? Why are these expressions lesser because they're normal? All this to say. Shoutout to all the basic bitches out there. Yes that polo shirt does make you look like a divorced golfer dad. Yes, that too is kind of a slay, now that I think of it.

@copperbadge this seems up your alley
