#femstat

I realized I havent drawn fem!Loustat.

Woman can't read her book in peace.

After all these years of hearing the same tired arguments, I'm done putting up with this. For years, certain people, including some who call themselves Lestat fans kept insisting that Lestat isn't genderfluid or GNC. It was always the same excuses: it's just how the language works, Lestat wasn't talking about himself, Lestat was mocking someone else, and countless other attempts to dismiss or explain away Lestat's gender. And now, all of a sudden, everyone's talking about how Paul was homophobic. How convenient.

I used to think Louis's family was perfectly loving and accepting, and that Lestat ruined everything. (Yes, that's sarcasm.)

Lestat was always talking about himself. Not about the city. Not about other people. She was always her.

I understand why people who hate Lestat would reject a genderfluid, GNC character. But what I don't understand is why people who call themselves Lestat fans seem to hate that girl.
