    He’s not in an lgbt space though, he’s in a Fandom complaining gay people exist in it. If that cis person went to a tabletop gaming session and complained how many trans people there were, and all they do is talk about being trans, I wouldn’t think they’re an egg. I’d think they’re a pos who doesn’t like trans people around.

      there are absolutely fandoms i would call lgbtq+ spaces, the post is homophobic but it strikes me more as an idiot teenager with social anxiety than chud malding about gay people being in a hobby they like

      Deltarune is significantly more of a gay game than Celeste is a trans game but I’d still say the same of someone doing this in Celeste spaces.

        I guess we just aren’t going to agree on this because if someone complained about trans people sharing their experiences and how they related to Celeste in the Celeste sub I’d find that super disgusting.

          I don’t think I ever said it was good, just that they have not yet realised there is something underlying inside them that attracts them to that art and that space. I’m inclined to agree with you when it comes to such behaviour that is just out there outside of such spaces, but when it’s happening inside these spaces there’s more to it. They are in conflict with themselves, their like for the work vs the social programming telling them that it is wrong to be trans/gay/whatever, it causes them to lash out in an overcompensating and defensive way, until they realise and come to terms with themselves.
