Baloney

The last statement I made on the Sailor Moon subreddit before getting banned.

As long as Minako is top, we’re good. I don’t care who’s bottom.

The exact same people who will interrogate a 40 year old children’s movie for pro-colonialist themes, who dissect a male character’s behavior for anything problematic, who will micro analyze a hetero ship for the faintest iota of patriarchy, who will shoot down any “it’s just ficiton bro” or “it’s not that deep” deflections with smug and elitist glee.

Will be the first to whip out those exact intellectually flimsy talking points the moment their precious, pure, and sacred sapphic lesbian dynamics are ever applied with that same level of scrutiny.

It’s as if the moment penis is gone, so is any potential impurity, how could my incorruptible yuri EVER possibly be toxic? As if dudes thinking “girl on girl is hot” hasn’t been a cliche for decades, a fact the yuri community seems to brush aside or ignore entirely.

There is something about the perspective of women and lesbian relationships among progressive spaces that turn off any critical lens, and terraform what is so transparently an erection into an illuminate torch of sapphic light.
