oh-hello-rusty replied to your post âheadcanon: youre sappier than you seemâ
I'm genuinely happy for people who feel validated by the 'pure soft and cute wlw aesthetic' but I admit it personally does nothing for me either...
same. iâm not gonna poop on anyoneâs parade, especially when it involves kids struggling to come to terms with themselves in a world that keeps telling them that who they are is wrong or dirty. positivity is great. and that sot of thing works for a lot of people, and iâm happy they have it
but idk, personally. when i was a young kinderqueer there was a truly shit moment when i knew i was some flavor of homo, so the straights didnât want me, but also i wasnât into showtunes or dance clubs or buying antiques or whatever the Rustic Wholesome Lesbian stereotype was at the time, so the gays didnât want me either. it wasnât until i found queercore, Team Dresch and Tribe 8 and Limp Wrist and etc, that i finally stopped feeling alone.
so while iâm happy those posts help people feel validated i also hope that the angry young queer punx and nerds and whathaveyou out there find something that validates them too.
