Re: The Paradox of "Representation"

[rynling]

I'm not trying to say that queering or straightening any given text or textual influence is good or bad, because both have their uses.

Rather, I'm uninterested in discussions of gender-based purity politics relating to women and gay people and media created by women and gay people. Not everything needs to be about the interests of straight adult men.

(Like, can you imagine if Revolutionary Girl Utena had to be subjected to that sort of discussion, how tedious would that be.)

Just let Sailor Moon wear magical sparkly nail polish under her elbow-length gloves, this is not the root of all misogyny.

That image is pure perfection and I can't stop cackling every time I see it 💕 it's like the tired Ben Affleck meme, But Better.
