Y'know, OP, I'm a little sympathetic to you if you identified with her as a tending-towards-masculine woman and you feel like people are stereotyping. I'm sure that's very frustrating. It would be really nice if we could have more masculine female characters without everybody jumping on them to declare them lesbians. (It would also be really nice if we had more of a variety of canon queer women, but, y'know. They're both problems.)

HOWEVER. Literally every single one of my queer woman friends (I'm talking a couple dozen) who has seen the movie has come out and said "yup, she's gay as hell." Me, I didn't know a goddamn thing about the character OR the actress and I watched the trailer once and went "oh, that's the gay one, yeah?" Not exaggerating. We are picking up on a vibe that Kate McKinnon was (I would bet money on it) deliberately playing. It's okay if you don't, and it's honestly okay if you're upset and disagree with us, but please be careful not to silence the voices of actual queer women when you do.

Also...explain this gif to me. Go on. A good chunk of my queer lady friends got it, it's not a universal sign for "I'm a lady who likes ladies" but it's apparently a pretty damn obvious one. I don't know what else that could POSSIBLY be.

^ this one is a good one

This comment is beautiful and so are you

I have never seen that gesture used to mean anything like that in my entire life. How would people even learn it as slang? Is there a class? Gestures and such have to be used in everyday conversation to be picked up on, so this "gay gestures" thing just...doesn't make sense.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean enough people HAVE gotten this particular meaning from this particular gesture, so I think it's working fine.

speaking as a wlw i've never seen it before but burst out laughing when i saw it in the film, because HMMM WHAT COULD YOU DO WITH THOSE FINGERS

[lentils]

^ Exactly. I guess I didn't state it clearly enough, but I hadn't seen it before either, and I don't think most of my friends who freaked out over it had...but one of the women I saw it with and I lost our shit in the theater because we recognized what the hell she was doing even though it wasn't ~really~ a sign. So. Obviously YMMV, but like I said, if that's not meant as a signal fire, then what IS it?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a lady who likes ladies and men and who hangs out primarily with other queer people and I've never seen or heard of that gesture before.
