angelwormwood:
you know what? double standards are okay when it comes to romantic fiction because a (healthy) cliché romance trope that has been done a thousand times before with cishet characters IS revolutionary and interesting when its applied to gay characters for the first time and my personal bias as a gay person doesnt make it any less of a fact
me watching a cute romance trope ive already seen a thousand times before but with gay people this time
me watching the same trope with cishet characters
Let’s correct that to:
Cishet WHITE characters.
