I love how much Heartstopper emphasises queer COMMUNITY and how important it is to see other people like you. Nick finding the courage to hold hands with Charlie after seeing an older gay couple. The rainbow ocean reaching out to Ben at the queer art exhibition. Coach Singh telling Nick about her wife and promising to protect him from homophobes on the rugby team. Nick watching Tara and Darcy kissing on the dance floor and realising he can be both happy and queer. Elle meeting other trans people at the art school and feeling at home.
Heartstopper constantly shows that surviving as a queer person is a group effort and it’s not only accurate, but comforting to queer youth. It’s a plot point that only a queer person could have the conscience to write.
“Three tickets for the Barbie movie, please?”
they're literally cartoon characters. to me.
once again in awe at how violently queerphobic one piece fans can even exist when there's a literal entire arc about Luffy being saved by the LGBT+ community. There are literally lines like "It may be hell, but at least it's a gay one!" and "Queers never die!" as Luffy HUGS his queer friends. This shit is said positively with Luffy LOVING these guys.
Impel Down screams that pirates and revolutionaries are formed due to societal rejection of a person, and Luffy loves anyone and everyone for whoever they are. I cannot imagine the tunnel vision a person must have to ignore these themes and still hold such prejudices when THE MAIN CHARACTER of the series they love would fucking hate them for the prejudices they hold.
