soft male friendships are important but tbqfh if somone percieves your Soft Male Friendship as a romance and you get MAD? it clearly wasn’t an actual soft friendship to begin with, lmao. you’re the kind of person who thinks that having a romantic relationship with another guy is shameful, and that makes you a homophobe and inherently Not soft
More like mad that Tumblr can’t look at men being friends without automatically calling them lovers, ESPECIALLY when one or both of them aren’t straight, acting as if LGBT guys can’t have friendships with each other without romance being involved in some way.
OP, I’m not straight, and if people kept percieving my friendship with any of my friends as romantic… well no, I wouldn’t be okay with that. Some of my friends are already in relationships, or aren’t into guys at all, and I doubt that they would be comfortable with it either.
It’s not homophobic to not want people to see your platonic friendships as romantic relationships.
And we are talking explicitly about real people here, not ships. (Though while I’m on that subject, YouTuber/Kpop ships are just as bad as this, and have destroyed or damaged friendships)
I was not prepared (hah). Only got to wear Illidan for about an hour before all the different uncomfortable bits destroyed me. I *technically* made it to the con (just the outside perimeter), after a lot of nonstop days this last month.
Lessons learned to take into the next build, that’s for sure! Prolly gonna’ just make a few props and chill on full crazy builds like this for a while, 😅.
