Apr. 8th, 2019 12:53 pmPeople trying to argue Yuuri can't be bi: THE WHOLE STORY IS ABOUT HIM LOVING VICTOR! WHO CARES IF HE SAID YUUKO WAS CUTE! COMPULSORY HETEROSEXUALITY! COMPULSORY HETEROSEXUALITY! COMPHET! COMPHET!
Me: Kubo said that homophobia doesn't exist in the YOI-verse. There being "comphet" in this world would be very bad, very shitty worldbuilding.
Me: I have no idea what this is trying to say. The main reason that there aren't that many queer couples in mass media is societal homophobia. A world with no homophobia wouldn't have this problem.
People trying to argue that Yuuri can't be ace: Asian mlm are already desexualized in this culture! You're contributing to that! Saying that he wants to love Victor without fucking him is devaluing their love!
Me: Okay, I agree that that first bit is bad, but what if the person doing the headcanoning is an ace Asian mlm themselves? Or just any Asian ace?
*crickets chirping, wind whistling*
Them: Headcanoning "canon gay men" as ace makes their relationships more palatable to a cis audience!
Me: We literally have no information on Yuuri's canon orientation, so it's incorrect to say he's a canon gay man.
Them: Yuuri expresses SGA! His whole character arc is focused around this!
Me: You do realize that that term originated from Mormon conversion therapy, right? It's also really reductive to say that Yuuri's character arc is "all about sex". Also, it's perfectly possible for a bi man to have a character arc about being in love with another guy.
*No response that I've seen*

Apr. 8th, 2019 02:43 pmCute Jrock Muse: I think I want to be part of the sci-fi verse, the Wedding Day verse, and the monster-guy verse!
Me: Okay, what kind of alien do you want to be in the sci-fi verse?
Cute Jrock Muse: Cute moth alien!
Me: Okay, I'll write that down. And for the Wedding Day verse?
Cute Jrock Muse: Mothman. A Mothman.
Me: Wait...Didn't you say you wanted to be a moth in the other verse?
Cute Jrock Muse: But think of the story possibilities! THE GIFT OF PROPHECY!
Me: Okay, fine. But don't say that you want to be a cute moth guy for the monster-guy verse.
Cute Jrock Muse: *glances around shiftily*
Me: Oh god.
