what a hot fucking mess

as a lesbian, i'm pretty goddamn sure now nintendo isn't getting my money for this unless some serious cleanup happens. after they came out saying they were gonna include same sex marriage so they could evolve their standards with how wide and diverse their audience is now, i foolishly expected better than this.

what a crock.

oh boo fucking hoo

at least the media loves lesbians, even if it isn't the best representation.

Re: da

are you fucking kidding me? gay guys have it everywhere, every way. logo is all gay guys. will & grace wasn't the best representation, but it had all sorts of gay men on it. gay women? all butch and even the butt of plenty of jokes. i've heard people i know talk about homosexuality and they're fine with men!! but not women, they're all so masculine and butch!!

so hey fuck you!

ahh yes the shining example stated IN THIS CANON THREAD of all lesbians need is the correct man, even via drugging and trickery, to fix them, is somehow stellar representation and "loving" lesbians

you literally have no fucking idea how much the media hates us and how many straight dudes and even straight women react to me horribly based on seeing this shit alone. this is like 90% of all lesbian storylines right now, easily, in both western and eastern media. you rarely if ever see a gay guy have to "prove" he's gay or sleep with a woman or such. it happens but not absolutely anywhere comparable to the rate it happens to queer women.

nobody likes lesbians at fucking all, but they sure do love marketing gimmicks like this game is clearly

so are you blind or just illiterate i'm genuinely curious

[(Anonymous)]

as a lesbian, i hate you.

ayrt

care to clarify why? what the fuck is wrong with being pissed at the same old dog and pony show of shitty stereotypes being trotted out game after game, movie after movie, book after book? at what point do i draw the fucking line? it's gone on long enough, i think we're allowed to be angry and demand more than just cheap marketing ploys

As a bisexual, I agree.

are you bi lol

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, the media loves lesbians.

Specifically lesbians that can be sexualized for straight men to get off to while actual lesbians are an afterthought or alienated.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

I was not aware Steven Universe sexualized Ruby and Sapphire or Pearl's feelings for Rose Quartz.

that's not even remotely close to how lesbians are most commonly depicted in media and you know it. examples of things being done right are exceptions, not the rule, and don't disprove the existence of things that are done poorly.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

That's not even remotely common which is what makes them groundbreaking.

Re: da

how is 1 lesbian worse than 0 lesbians

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

because i'd rather have zero representation than shitty representation that perpetuates stereotypes, tbh.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

so you didn't mind heather?

also what about the 20000 supports across the series that clearly gay-baited? Also they're guys, but the weird gay bandits are in every single game in the series.

'shitty representation' was already a thing in the series. if the next game is this bad too then yeah i'll be pissed but at this point I'm willing to give them some breathing room, especially since this is obviously blowing up.

heather was awesome 99% of the lesbian and bi/pan girls I met loved her

it's only salty straights and homophobes who ever bitched about her

and none of them had any right to either considering they weren't attracted to women

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

it's only salty straights and homophobes who ever bitched about her

/raises hand

i'm bi and i wasn't too crazy about heather tbh

but okay, i'm clearly a salty, straight homophobe because clearly only they could ever have criticisms (key word: criticisms, not hate) about the character

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

She wasn't awesome to me and I'm a lesbian so.

Quit speaking for me and silencing those who are speaking up.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

lmao. Typical SJW arguing - people who disagree with you suddenly aren't in the same group as you. If you aren't interesting in having a real conversation about this then fuck off. Just because you and I are in the same demographic doesn't give you the right to use me as a prop to support whatever you want to get mad about.

Because it's a huge stereotype that lesbians are stalkers that don't care about the feelings of the people they have affections for and are thus scary. Stalker Lesbians are common, especially in Japan. A very big example of this is the recent Yuri Kuma Arashi.

I'm tired of my sexuality either being fanservice or scary in media.

oh wow, a tvtropes link, clearly your argument is infallible.

Oh wow, it's not like TVTropes is a collection of very common stereotypes and it's not like I'm arguing from my experiences too or anything. Clearly I'm just a Bad Lesbian for not taking whatever scrap I'm getting instead of getting fed up at repeatedly being portrayed as Evil and Stalkery.
