pictured: yet another fucking roxy/dirk rper making arguments as to why shipping dirk in a straight relationship is totally ok and you’re the REAL bigot for thinking maybe it’d be nice to just treat him as gay

look:

I don’t care if you ship roxy/dirk. I really don’t. I dooooon’t. but when you make these fucking excuses as though everyone ELSE is bigoted and you’re the true enlightened hero for shoving one of the only canon gay characters in the comic into a het relationship, I want to shake you by your shoulders and demand what the hell I, or any other queer person, ever did to you.

do you know how much irl gay people get this bullshit “sexuality is fluid” thing thrown at them to prove they’re not really gay?

do you know how you repeating it in a casual venue proves that you’ve bought into it and reminds us of what we have to deal with daily?

do you have any fucking idea how many queer people ask themselves daily if they’re not “really” queer because they’ve been told this so many times?

don’t fucking give me this “but it’s just rp it’s not real” shit, what you’re saying there is so fucking reflective of homophobia irl.

ship what you ship. but stop fucking making excuses. people have every right to be upset with your ship. you can ignore them and go on your way, or you could be a petty fucking asshole and try to prove that you’re the real progressive one here by making a gay dude “ask roxy what boobs feel like or something to fuel smut.”
