We can take it farther: no one is socialized female or male. We are all socialized into patriarchy. No one learns how to "be a man" or "be a woman" discretely and in a vaccum, it's with relationship to other people. Trans people make this very clear.

Iβm gonna ride the discourse high and say not all trans men are socialized as female like youβd expect. I had people telling me I had to open doors for women when I was 9 because everyone thought I was a boy.

People need to engage with the fact that the monosexist assumption that bisexuals are either gay or straight coexists with the homophobic assumption that gay people (esp. lesbians) must be bisexual, since mistakes like this illustrate why "monosexual" doesn't work as a category.
it literally is not an insult. it is just a descriptor to describe people who don't have to deal with biphobia. we have been using it in academia for years. if you feel insulted or called out by the way bisexuals talk about the harm of biphobia you should sit with that.

this isn't even about relatability, it's about making a deliberate choice to not assimilate into the heterosexual cultural framework established in mainstream media

it's always me me me with you people... if you watch movies with the goal of finding them relatable you're already beyond help

expecting queer people to find universal relatability in het stories just promotes cultural conformity that erases our queer difference. i'm sure if i read a few het stories, i would find a character i could relate to, but why should i? i'm not like you and i don't want to be

there is no such thing as "specific, strict, hamfisted queer shape". queer people are not all the same and not all of us are relatable to one another, and yet we watch media of other queer people who are different from us. the suspension of heterosexuality in our fiction is not a
been talking with my friends lately about this thing where queer people cannot comprehend creating or engaging with art if it is not packaged in a very specific, strict, hamfisted queer shape

someone rated 'in the mood for love' 3 stars and the review says they cannot connect with a piece of media if it had a straight relationship as its main topic.

this is pretty much the accepted opinion from people who can actually see furina as her own character. the unfortunate crux of the matter is that hetsloppers see a man and woman in a room and their cognitive function shuts down before they can think further

i keep seeing this argument and unfortunately, it's pretty clear that the people saying this have not engaged w the source material at all. so, here: thread explaining furinaβs constellations, the operas they reference why they're largely irrelevant to her coding

this is why i donβt agree w the idea of her cons overriding her coding. unless someone can give unequivocal associations to these operasβ plots

alongside 1:1 comparisons w /all/ their involved characters relationships and correlate them directly to furinaβs life, their stories mean nothing to her coding, be that bisexual or lesbian
