Yep, I definitely get this too. Especially the way that in so /many/ fics centering around a character's discovery of their sexuality there apparently has to always be this whole internal 'but omg, i can't be GAY, this can't happen to ME!' crisis. Like, I get that this is a completely realistic and normal part of many people's figuring out who they are/what they want, but, damn, internalised homophobia isn't just an inevitable part of every queer person's journey, you know? Yeah it's common, yeah it may well be the author working out their own struggles, and yeah if you've experienced it you may want to see your faves experiencing and overcoming it, but it sends this really weird message that people are naturally homophobic until they realise they're queer or they get to know a queer person, it's kinda gross
