@bornrestless yes, because when we talk about masculinity and femininity, we operate with stereotypes, and i think some people rely on them more than others, seeing louis as feminine based solely on the way he moves and talks
@novaephemera@deliriusdreams thank you for putting it into words, because i can only really rely on my feelings when it comes to this, but i can't explain exactly why i think so. reading your explanation makes a lot of sense to me 🫶
gabriella pushing lestat's buttons with "he doesn't care about you, his phone is more important", knowing about lestat's insecurities, only for lestat to have already addressed this with louis, who apologized to him. that's why he's giggling, he's like "no, that won't work"
@mai_komagata no, i was talking in general, not specifically about louis. as if having certain soft traits automatically makes you feminine. and i agree about the melancholic part
psa: my fault, i didn't put a warning on this tweet. it's just my opinion, and i'm not forcing anyone to agree with me. i especially didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings
@mai_komagata lmao you put it into words quite well. i think it all comes from people thinking that men are brutal by default and women are soft by default, which is far from the truth
@mai_komagata i mean, people are already offended by me saying it, so maybe i'm blind, i think louis just graceful and delicate, but that doesn't make him feminine
@deliriusdreams again, to me, he isn't feminine, and it's not because i think lestat can be feminine and louis can't. i just don't see him that way. if you disagree with me, that's fine. my words aren't ultimate truth anyway
@deliriusdreams where did i say that there's something wrong with that? i just don't think he's feminine. and i'm not fighting anyone, i'm just sharing my opinion, which doesn't insult anyone, unlike them insulting lestat. time to deactivate omg
where did i imply it was an insult? in that tweet, they also said that lestat's femininity is forced, implying that louis is a true woman and lestat is only pretending to be one. and in that sense, louis isn't feminine in the way they think he is. and also, sorry, i don't think he's feminine, and not bc i think it's something bad
