I really wish people gave shit about queer creators and not just queer cartoon characters

This is why I just can't will myself to give a shit about queer rep discourse anymore

Nobody actually cares about real people, just cartoons and dolls

Sorry, I don't think you "care about queer creators" when you rake real human beings over the coals for being "messy" or "problematic" or "making us look bad" and seal clap for sanitized cartoons

I don't think this is possible and we need to be honest about that

Plenty of queer people make corporate art while working for corporate machines that don't care. I get the cognitive dissonance it takes to be aware that people can care while the company doesn't

You really aren't talking about that, though

You're all talking about cartoons

I'm so tired - deep down in my bones tired - of having my humanity explained to me by people in my own ""community"" in terms of how many cartoons and dolls we get

People accuse me - a pesky disgusting queer creator, likely a pervert, definitely problematic - of crimes before even reading my work, but tell me how radical it would be to have a gay Disney princess

I just

No

This isn't a real conversation worth having

I dunno, y'all. I see queer creators terrified to make anything that could get them dogpiled and abused by the same people who applaud table scraps, deleted scenes, and throwaway lines as personal validation

Real humans, terrified of the audience they try to serve

Real queer people, making queer art, trying to serve a queer audience who actively wants to harm them

So, yeah

Don't talk to me about your Lesbian Elsa headcanon

If you're here to listen to me holler, you can take a minute to buy my gay fucky monster books and support the arts https://twitter.com/magencubed/status/1153623959637807104?s=19

Everybody who commented without reading the actual thread owes me a dollar for making my brain bleed
