i hate when people act like having a butch lesbian or a flamboyant gay man character isn’t “real representation” because they’re “just a stereotype”. butch lesbians EXIST. LOTS of butch lesbians exist! same with flamboyant gay men! butch lesbians and flamboyant gay men are wonderful, and correctly-written representations of them are wonderful too. a femme lesbian isn’t inherently better representation than a butch lesbian.
oh, and wishing that a “stereotypical” gay/lesbian character was straight because you think that would be “defying sterotypes” is just plain Bad, folks!
also this kind of rhetoric implies a “good” gay person is someone who is not gender non-conforming in any way
