nayrt

That's funny, I had interpreted that the characters were still gay, just that the headcanon had their gender different.

[(Anonymous)]

See, if they actually kept the characters as gay, just as a different gender, that would be kind of weird but whatever, it's cool. But IME whenever someone headcanons a gay character as the opposite sex, it's always so that they're in a het ship instead of a gay one, and yeah, that has pretty gross implications.

[(Anonymous)]

We can argue about whether or not that has gross implications, but also, it is my experience and my assumption that an m/m genderswap would be to f/f and tbh it is weird to me to assume if there's a female character it has to be het

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe things have changed, then, because it used to be that it was done as a way to make what would otherwise be a gay ship into a het one. You used to see it all the time in older fandoms like Gundam Wing.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm sure it does happen, and I'm sure my experience is colored by spending a lot of time in f/f spaces

Still think it's weird to default to gender changes being homophobic and making characters het though

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, this is the obvious interpretation of what's going on. If B headcanoned only one of the men as a woman, it would be possible they were doing it to make a gay ship het. But the secret said B headcanons he characters (plural) as women (also plural). So instead of gay men, they'd be lesbians.

Well, that's assuming they're in a relationship with each other, which is, to be fair, the usual case when two characters are described as gay at the same time.
