um
thats weird, actually
like really weird
donât a lot of men like that stuff?
adult media is the only media in which good mlm can be found and that also has the hedonistic mlm
wlw is far more accessible since male gaze
at least in my experience
âŚUnfortunately that just appears to be how TV works. Profiting off of people as much as they can, while also avoiding going into territory that could lead a completely different audience away.
Thereâs likely been quite a few LGBT+ characters that have been placed in media, but placed in more of a way where it can be denied theyâre LGBT+ to the right people. Iâm unsure if that makes sense? âŚSorry if it doesnât.
I donât have really much else to add. MinâŚwould, if he wasnât so devoted to roleplaying right now.
skill issue
wlw male-gazey media is immediately obviously sucky for wlw people tho
what nobody wants to hear is the exact same is true of female-gazey mlm media (I could go for. hours. about heartstopper. and itâs basis in yaoi culture. but nobody wants to hear this)
one time i read this âclassicâ book i had never heard of that was blatantly obviously gay but everyone portrayed them as best friends
it was called like
A Seperate Peace
draco malfoy esqe characters form the main shield for mlm content against the female gaze
I am being completely serious
I LOVE A SEPARATE PEACE
the author later came out as gay and said it was gay but in a shocking twist of events since it isnât explicitly stated in the book theyâre still best friends
yeah we all thought it was mid
i read it with my friends in an english class
haters. i thought it was good. cute and obviously queercoded
yeah
iâm not posting with any logic Iâm just posting pent up shit
to be clear
