A guy and a girl being besties never stopped fanfic writers before. If media ain’t gonna give queer people actual relationships, they’ll just have to make their own (with blackjack, and hookers!).
I mean as someone who is acearo myself and would like to see more relationships that reflect my own sometimes too, I’d love to see more cases of guys and girls just being friends and not getting shoved into a relationship automatically.
I’m a straight guy and my first best friend was a girl. We never had any feelings for each other, and I’ve continued to have many platonic female friends over the years. I also would like to see more of that in media.
I agree. I’m bothered by it from two different angles. On the one hand, we’ve got so many instances of people with no chemistry or anything being shoved into romantic relationships because they’re a guy and a girl so obviously they’re in love; and on the other hand two girls making out is just gals being pals but a guy and a girl making eye contact is enough for them to be soulmates.
Let guys and girls be just friends and don’t make people jump through extra hoops to justify the existence of queer relationships. That’s all I’m asking for.
