Y’all just gotta stop sexualizing any affection shown between 2 men in media. Not in a “no gay ships anymore” way but in a “there are more than just sexual and romantic relationships, especially since open platonic and familial affection between two men is hugely stigmatized. This especially goes for characters who are heavily depicted as brothers by the narrative or are actually literally brothers.”

Like I see y’all taking two characters who have a bond as brothers in the narrative, and their open love for each other, and saying it HAS to be romantic love, that it’s More Progressive for them to be gay for each other and that it’s Queerbaiting if they aren’t Actually Gay For Each Other Specifically…. And holy shit ur missing the point.

Sometimes completely platonic relationships between two male characters with open and adoring affection is actually more radical than them being canonically gay with each other. Even if both characters are straight. And especially if the one character is actually gay.

I’m especially calling out all y’all who do this shit but blatantly ignore or shoot down f/f ships or canon couples bc they’re “actually more like sisters/friends”.

This a-fucking-okay to reblog btw
