@mishacollins the "timeless hollywood trope" you referred to as "kill your gays" is
a) called "bury your gays" (pedantic i know)
b) homophobic and stemming from censorship, specifically the hays code
the celluloid closet is a great documentary that offers insight into the history of the portrayal of gay characters in hollywood. its also not that long to watch! so its a great way to do the absolute minimum amount of research before attempting to speak on "timeless tropes" <3
i keep thinking abt this because at the time i completely blocked out how fucking stupid tiqas outfit looks. OOC i was too lazy to change my glam, IC theyd just gone to a shitty halloween party
