Re: queer fiction by non-queer writers

(OP) I personally am still a bit fuzzy on how appropriation works, because I get the idea behind it but the only times I ever see accusations of appropriating behavior is with crazy SJWs who can't see reason. I want to say something like the I Pretended to Be Gay It Was So Revolutionary guy mentioned above is kind of appropriating the coming out experience to tell a story that's not really about actual gay people, that sounds like my understanding of appropriation? But certainly not everyone whose world has gay people in it is going to be like that guy.

Oh IA, that dude is being appropriative as all hell, but the reason for that is that he's pretending the real-world actualfax coming-out experiences is his experience. Very few writers are dumb enough to do things like that. There are plenty more who write bad queer characters or shallow queer characters - my least favourite kind are the ones where their presence in the story is all about how the straight narrator feels about them. Those worry me because it's all about the straight people still. But yeah, most straight writers are really not doing any harm to us, and some are making the world a better place.
