If your concept op ‘wholesome’ lgbt/queer posts excludes sexual content you’re just a new generation of gayservatives trying to sanitize the queer community and you can eat out my filthy perverted queer ass.
Ok but there should be a space for both though? I’m queer, I’m sex repulsed, and it can be extremely alienating. Of course queer sexuality is just as wholesome as anything else and deserves positivity, but aversion to sexual content isn’t automatically negative
I think you probably already know I wasn’t implying anything of the sort. You can put whatever you want on your own blog but it’s near impossible to spend any time in the tagspaces of ‘wholesome’ lgbt/queerness and not notice a group dynamic where there is a really narrow narrative being enforced around what is wholesome. A kind of christmas puppies-and-cookies fifties-photo-filter love-is-love wholesomeness that has no space for things messy or sexual or in anyway deviant. As a social group dynamic this is extremely fucked up.
And it’s actually a tagspace where aphobes thrive because there is a pretty significant overlap between reactionary conservative LGBT folks that want to keep out asexual, aromantic, sexrepulsed etc folks, and reactionary conservative LGBT folks that want to restrict visible queer sexuality. The people that hate queers being to sexual are often the exact same people spreading aphobic bullshit.
I completely agree, thanks for clarifying. I’m extremely bad at perceiving any group dynamics so I wasn’t sure exactly what this was referencing, but that’s my bad.
I’m glad there’s no hard feelings. Looking back, The way I phrased my reply with the ‘near impossible not to notice’ was probably a kind of ableist way that I’m gonna try to not repeat. thanks for your nice reply. 🙂
