Why did millennial writers have a fetish for turning childhood crush type characters into dykes? What was wrong with them?
They all saw Adventure Time do it.
Name 27 examples of this archetype appearing in commercially-distributed cartoons, or I will refuse to believe it is a thing.
>>155008338Luz who was the cool older sister to the real audience pov King.
MY reason was simple:Fanfictiondotnet turned all MY fave males into fags thanks to the dreaded "slash/yaoi", so...
>>155008265Did you just holistically recreate Vriska?
>>155008432you could just not read fanfiction?
>>155008338>>155008364Jackie probably should count. For you know.Maybe Enid too.
>>155008265Wendy is the exact opposite of this
>>155009050She was confirmed to be bisexual later. The only reason she didn't get a gf in the show is because they ended in 2016 so the trend hadn't fully taken hold.
>>155008265Sour grapes that their childhood crush never gave them the time of day "She was a lesbian that's why she never wanted me"
>>155009258But most of the writers who did this are women.
>>155008265Sora from Digimon is this except she isn't gay
>>155008432This reminds me that I should probably make a "shitty ex boyfriend" image since that's also a pretty common trope from that era.
>>155009698Damn you right.
>acknowledging that the childhood crush type character should have more to them than just existing for the lead to crush on >recognizing that the trope has a shelf life before it gets stale, which usually ends in the subject of the crush disappearing from the story>more women writers asking the bold question: "what if she was gay?"it's a few different things.
>>155008265Don't forget "Trying way too hard"
>>155010332The word "bold" should be in quotes.
>>155009229Some JK Rowling ahh shi
>>155008265This is like two characters, one of whom never canonically dated any girls and had to get "confirmation" via tweet
>>155008265Why does she have Lapis wings?
>>155011021I mean your not wrong.
>>155008265two reasons>scared beta rationalizes that unrequited love interest must be gay, instead of pursuing a healthy romantic relationshipand>queer writers assume that just because they finally have an outlet that they should constantly use that outlet
>>155008338Marceline and Wendy are the obvious ones.
I have never seena non jew pine for a woman taller than them.
>>155012096This feels like a projection.
