man I want to agree with you so badly but also god can we please stop being satisfied with crumbs off the table? I don't want either of those things. They both suck and they're both awful, give me Rey and Rose kissing on screen like any other goddamned het couple in the ENTIRE KNOWN UNIVERSE and then we can start talking about this small fry shit

and yes JKR is a hack and Dumbledore is Gay is also nonsense bullshit that isn't real.

(ftr I'm not trying to aim this at you personally and I know I'm coming off as super aggressive, I'm sorry, I'm just so frustrated)

It is real though, lots of us saw it in the last book before she said anything.

And answering a kid's question with "I always saw Dumbledore as gay" and then continuing to defend that stance against homophobes (yes, remember when actual homophobes also got mad at her for it, not just all-or-nothing LGBTQ people?) in support of gay people is not remotely the same level of "bad" as saying "You should be allowed to harass trans people and not be fired for it."

The rest of the SFF world, including SFF for young readers has moved the fuck on. Maybe she was owed a cookie, maybe even a snack pack of them for subtext that wasn't particularly progressive 12 years ago. Today, there's a lot more interesting stuff going on.

And yet people still complain

i never said anywhere that i was satisfied with it, i'm not calling it good, i just don't consider two women actually kissing to be worse than a mention outside of the canon text bc tbh i'll agree with you that rose/rey having a romantic arc and kissing is the kind of shit we should be getting, not a 10 sec moment that can be removed without issue.

Can and was! It was removed from the overseas version because China is a backwoods pile of homophobic shit with more money than we're willing to lose, so we kowtow to their ~delicate sensibilities~ like good pets :)
