tbh hatewatching is such an alien concept to me, i can barely be bothered to watch the things i do want to watch why would i bother looking at something i know i won’t like
Ppl dont seem to realise that “only perceivably queer people should have access to queer spaces and support” and “nobody is obligated to out themselves to you and nobody needs to provide proof of their sexuality/identity” CANNOT coexist.
People are very quick to say “nobody should ever be forced out of the closet, there is no one way to be queer” but then throw a fit when someone who isnt visibly gay plays a gay character or when someone who isnt officially out acts in a ~queer way~.
Also, sometimes the person you think is the poster child for cisheterosexuality is in fact incredibly queer because that’s the way they feel happiest presenting. And sometimes the person you’re dead certain is queer is cishet and just really cool about it. And you will never be able to tell the difference on sight and that is a good thing.
I am loving seeing the fresh wave of people experiencing just how much of an absolute jerk Dracula is in the original novel. A lot of adaptations get so enraptured with the charisma and the implied sex of the whole vampire thing that they forget that Drac is actually a tall glass of Fresh-Squeezed Bastard. It’s kind of interesting because even a reasonably morally neutral character in his place would do, but Stoker decided that no, this blood-sucking bitch needs to have mold on his soul. The sheer scale of his scumsucking villainy is nicely brought to the forefront in the daily format too, so it remains my favorite way of re-reading Dracula.
