between “twink isn’t a body type” and “camp is like having bad taste” and even “femme has never been used outside of lesbian bars (which didn’t allow bi women)” and “neopronouns were created 10 years ago” i’m starting to suspect some of you don’t actually know gay culture and are just half assedly speedrunning being a gay elder for clout
& often when you scratch the surface of bullshit claims about queer history, the only thing that comes up is “I think this should be true from a moral standpoint.”
Like, we could also be saying “twink shouldn’t be a body type, even though that’s how the word has been used for most of it’s queer history”. That’’d be a more honest statement.
We could like, not try to retroactively make queer history fit our ideals and just admit when we’re pushing a view of what we think queer community should be like now, which others can then agree with or not.
