how do i pick more than one ๐ญ๐ญ
*** absolutely not claiming no one likes these songs! I just see them on least favorites lists kind of often ***
(because i have time on my hands and i hate myself)
So I've seen a few people react to this post and wanted to add my thoughts as someone who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community (i'm a nonbinary ace lesbian).
I realise the person who made the insta post is probably very young but they're also a cishet person talking about queer stories and queer experiences in a somewhat insensitive way and I wanted to add my two cents as someone who joined this fandom as a fifteen-year-old and at 29 is now a fandom "elder".
firstly, as the person who made the post is cishet, it's not their place to dictate what is and isn't "good" trans representation. it's also not their place to dictate whether or not they are "a transphobic". when discussing issues around trans representation, if you aren't a part of that community, you should sit back and listen to trans people (and you might learn something so you don't look so ignorant)
it's also super weird to say sheldon bieste shouldn't be trans because "they could have just focused on unique instead". you can have more than one trans character!!! ALL the characters could be trans if you want!
i can't believe i even need to say this but ... gay and bi trans men exist. non-heterosexual trans people of all genders exist.
"i know lots of people ship them and i'm not trying to cancel your opinions..." and yet here you are, trying and failing to convince people not to ship them.
listen friend - crackships exist. shippers gonna ship. sometimes people just don't like the canon ships and that's ok.
"Klaine may have some problems but it doesn't mean there is a need to ship them with another guy" - has it occurred to you that the people who ship Kurtbastian and Seblaine don't like Klaine?
*the next point is about Kurt in Laryngitis and I don't really have anything to say about it
this is the one that I sort of agree with but I didn't like Dani (she gave me Arielle Scarcella fan vibes and was probably a TERF) so I'm biased. at the risk of sounding like one of those people who defends their fave even when they're being kind of dickbags ... the biphobia started with Dani/Santana wanting to "impress" Dani who is (a) maybe the first out lesbian she's ever met and (b) openly biphobic. I also headcanon Santana as having ADHD and think Dani was kind of a hyperfixation of hers
"i always wondered what it would be like to be with a woman" is a very fruity thing for a straight person to say let's be real
here's a fun idea though: how about let's not just assume that everyone is straight?
(again, the above image was posted by a cis straight person)

honestly this section to me feels like one big huge lump of text that my audhd brain is not absorbing in the way i want it to soooooo...
ok i'm gonna try here...
"i don't get why santana tries to get brittany while she is dating artie" ummmm because she has a crush on brittany ... what, is she supposed to just turn off her feelings just because brittany's dating someone else? she's a 16 year old child homie, give her a break jfc...
(obviously she didn't go about her feelings towards brittany in s2 or s4 in the best way but she was also young at the time and not great at communicating but i think it's important to recognise that she did get better as the series went on and brittana grew stronger as a couple in the long run)
as for "santana doesn't recognise brittany as bi" ... santana literally said in her proposal to brittany that doing it in front of the glee club would "upset all the single guys and gals" so obviously she is aware that brittany is attracted to people of different genders and openly acknowledges it.
i genuinely don't know what to say about this... i'm more of a casual klaine enjoyer so we're not at the level of deep philosophical analysis yet but if anyone wants to take this one (looking at you, scout) be my guest.
"i don't understand the hate towards klaine in s4 as a couple" ... i mean they weren't really a couple because they were broken up for most of season 4
blaine has really grown on me recently but "i needed you and you weren't there" wasn't much of an apology
the OP of the post has also said some sketchy things about race to a twitter mutual of mine, i.e. saying mercedes is racist against white people, which ......
so ... in summary
headcanons exist. webster defines headcanon asย "something that a fan imagines to be true about a character even though no information supporting that belief is spelled out in the text"
while we live in a cisheteronormative society, we should refrain from assuming everyone is cis and/or straight.
it's okay for fans to prefer a crack couple over a canon couple (as long as they tag appropriately).
if you're a cishet person in a queer space, you need to approach queer stories with care and respect, and sometimes that involves not talking when you don't have experience with something
reverse racism doesn't exist
