*writes dystopian novel where a bisexual and asexual girl fall in love and save the world together along with their trans bestie and everyone is queer except for that one implied straight character*
narrow-minded people are getting mad over this post keep reblogging it
This story sounds awful and unrealistic. Have fun appealing to a fraction of the potential market 👍
This story sounds amazing and I would read the hell out of it. It is called “fiction”, and I’m sure with the rising amount of queer identifying people who regularly consume media such as this, it would be a smash hit. Please sit down.
Writer: I’m gonna write a dystopian fantasy novel about young people who save the world
Cishets: Mhm yes very good very realistic
Writer: With queer characters
Cishets: woah hold up now, lets not get unrealistic
A bunch of queers doing stuff together would actually be the most realistic representation, actually. Because, you know, we tend to travel in packs. The One Gay Friend™ is pretty much a myth.
I also love how straight people complain that media with queer characters isn’t catered to them with lots of characters they identify with, like queer people don’t have that problem with 99% of all media
I…actually have basically this story planned and started. Main character’s a pansexual, her adopted younger sister’s a lesbian, their medic is trans (and totally my favorite, she’s competent as fuck), there’s a gay couple who mutually run a gang, the medic’s asexual girlfriend helps manage the people in the gang, their resident expert fighter is a real kickass nonbinary kid named Zee, and there’s one straight dude in the entire thing, I love everything in this universe. I literally don’t care if no one but me ever reads it. Rant over.
