Representation is important, even if it’s phony.

    The performative bs was actively harmful.

    They must be appeased by a ritual dance performed every June or they’ll come down and punish you!

      That sounds more like right wing fear mongering than anything that has actually happened. Unless just having a negative opinion is a punishment, I guess.

      Strongly disagree. Normalizing queerness as acceptable (even if some people push back) is essential to change national culture. The motivation does not matter - normalization is critical.

        Corpos pushing queer stuff has definitely helped with normalizing it, but it has also been creating a lot of division within working class, which happens to be very beneficial for the capitalists

          The division was already there it’s just easy to not hear it when queer people are too afraid to be visible.

          I think you guys forget how bad it was for queer people. The corpos are not creating division, that division already existed. And it’s way better than it used to be.
