I thought the way they did this was beautiful. It felt realistic. People shutting themselves off dont go out in a big dramatic way. They slowly lose themselves and their connections to others. You wont see your friend on a ledge. One day they will just be gone
STOP INFANTILIZING US. STOP THINKING WE CAN'T BE BAD PEOPLE. STOP ACTING LIKE CLOSETED DYSPHORIA CAN'T BE PORTRAYED AS THE NIGHTMARE THAT IT IS OR THAT IT CAN'T HAVE MASSIVE RIPPLE EFFECTS ON SOMEONE'S MENTAL HEALTH. OH MY GOD YOU GUYS ARE PISSING ME OFF
I will say it.
Queer characters should be allowed to be flawed, to be messy, to majorly screw up.
Like any other character in fiction that happens to be straight or CIS.
And it's not faulty writing: it's about depicting people with nuance, whether they're LGBTQ+ or not.
