        As am I, and can remember when a very popular malevolent white girl sic’d her hordes of three-nos on queer spaces explicitly not meant for them with picrews; so this whole “hating picrews is just proxy-homophobia” is setting off all the alarm klaxons

          Plenty of queer people hated on Guardian Spice when it came out because it was the hip new thing

          Sorry fam, I have no idea what this is aside from the brief Google search I just did and even less idea what the discourse around it is

          All I know is that whenever I see a Picrew avi, I’m likely to see the most dogshit take next to it (see above). It’s not that I think it’s like cringe in itself or whatever. Anecdotal evidence to be sure, but there you have it.

          And what’s your point? (Some) queer people like them? So what? A lot of queer people like Pete Buttigieg and being racist on Grindr
