The moment anyone starts that 'if you're queer you're meant to like/hate x/y' crap I tune out. We're not a monolith and we all have our own personal likes and tastes, you're not a better gay for liking her music or a better one for not. It's personal preference ffs.

All of this.

Also, not liking someone's music does not equal not liking or even not supporting them! You can support fellow queers or women or whatever and be happy for them but also not like whatever product they are putting out. It is not one or the other.

Re: +1

Exactly. I'm happy that she's getting more mainstream success, especially as a queer artist, and I wish her well. Me not vibing with her music does not mean I think she sucks as an artist, its just not for me and that's okay.

My least favorite is when a queer artist or media centering on queer relationships is decided on as "queerness for the straights." It can make queer people who like and relate to it and may have even discovered their queerness through it feel like they've been tricked by their own brains into thinking they're queer when they're really not, because "real" queer people would never like that thing.

Shout out to all the queer adults implying baby queers are straight because they liked Love, Simon.

I find that always gets lobbed at any queer media that actually gets popular outside of queer spaces, apparently having our stuff be successful in a mainstream context is bad and makes it less queer or something.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that's definitely part of it. Adjacent to that, some of the queer spaces I've been in take the stance that queerness is inherently anti-capitalist so if something queer makes lots of money, it's magically not queer anymore. Queerness is capitalist-neutral, you're just conflating two unrelated things because you're queer and you hate capitalism.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh jeeze, yeah I've seen that before and which has never made sense to me because we're all here working and earning a living within capitalism, we're not somehow magically avoiding that for being queer. I fear these are the same types who attribute morality to identity and not, yanno, how someone behaves and acts.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, anti-capitalists acknowledge that you can't opt out of capitalism at the present moment even while being against it. It's like the comic with the medieval serf toiling in the field saying "I think society could be improved somewhat" and the smug guy popping up and saying "And yet you participate in society! How interesting!"

But yeah, not all queer people are against capitalism and see having a job as a necessary evil and complaining every day about the need to have one, regardless.
