love to get a one-star review where the author says “this isn’t because I don’t like queer or trans people!” three different times

love to get a one-star review where the author says “this isn’t because I don’t like queer or trans people!” three different times

it’s giving “my ‘i don’t hate queer and trans people!’ shirt has people asking a lot of questions answered by the shirt”

@tillybridges well, I'm sure they can't date queer and trans people because I'm sure they have a trans friend, right? Urg, sorry you even had to see that

@Bikil it happens, it’s just a standard part of reviews when you make any art that’s clearly queer and/or trans. the bigots are gonna “well actually” you for all of it, and call it an “agenda” for having queer and trans characters exist

all while ignoring the actual agenda in a lot of fiction that acts like trans people don’t exist and that forces compulsory heterosexuality on us

they’re blind to all of it

@tillybridges that was supposed to be hate not date, autocucumber ruined it!

[bikil@mastoart.social]

@tillybridges oh totally, it just sucks, bleah

[tillybridges@mastodon.social]

@Bikil I figured. “autocucumber” is great though!
