for example, putting an unnecessary amount of effort into proving Jester's attraction to Fjord is compulsory heterosexuality while ignoring that Fjord and Jester were both explicitly biracial characters from different class backgrounds and how that class difference intersected with their self image. a general refusal to really interact with Chetney as a character that is heavily coded as mentally ill and uninterested in being "cured." Veth being deemed the token straight Karen despite being a young rural mother of color struggling with addiction and having an arc that was heavily coded as trans, and Ashton, a nonbinary lower class punk with chronic pain, being considered just a man when it comes to ship wars. etc, etc.

and I use these two as very specific examples because these are two characters I love who have very different lives than me. I could talk about my experiences with type I bipolar disorder and how I see Chetney's lycanthropy as a metaphor for that, and how only people with physical and mental disabilities are the only people who want to talk about characters through that lens, but that's not really the point. the point here is the continual lack of compassion in regards to oppressed groups that aren't like you that's the problem here. it's preaching intersectionality in only so much as it benefits you. it's about how even though Ashton is an explicitly queer character, the diet terfs in this fandom so very clearly want to call him a cishet man every time he interacts with Laudna because this is the framework that fandom allows for. it's about centering a very narrow and honestly fairly privileged experience within queer spaces and it's frankly fucking exhausting to deal with.

I wanted to experiment with a different kind of style. At first, I wanted it to be sexy or funny but the more I thought about it, if I was the one entering to that scene inside that basement, I would think this was a creepy naked witch cult aquelarre for summoning werewolves and shit.
