F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

I'm a bit disappointed that he went with the "tom boy=lesbian" cliché. If Annie turns out to be one as well, I think I'm going to silently pass on this comic.

I don't know, I'm not seeing it as being as simple as 'tomboy = lesbian'. This is something that's been building with Kat since... well, in a direct way since Faraway Morning, but even in an indirect way as early as this page (http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=111) of Of Old And New. And Kat WAS actually presenting as more feminine there - she had slightly longer hair, and almost exclusively wore her school uniform and its skirt. (Note Kat's almost luminescent blushing!)

Er, plus, I'm not entirely sure Kat's a lesbian. Quite possibly queer in some way, but possibly being attracted to girls doesn't actually invalidate her past relationship with Aly, or her crush on Eglamore. She's most likely bi. (Also, Annie DID dream about Jones, naked, in a rather similar scenario to Kamlen. She could well be bi without it being SUDDENLY, QUEER.)

That is a huge simplication of their characters and frankly, the implications of what you're saying are pretty insulting. Maybe you didn't mean it this way, but I'm getting a "One gay character is enough/stop shoving it in our faces." vibe from this.

You're projecting too much.

I did say it was an implication, a vibe I'm getting and Maybe you didn't mean it this way.
