i’m so soft about the fact that… we really get to witness all these gay characters pop up in cartoons, more and more explicit in the storyline every time. we really get to see the tangible, undeniable progress we’re making. there’s all these silly posts that are like “girls now are going to say that catra was their lesbian awakening” and like “korrasami walked so catradora could run” and it’s like yeah! yeah that’s right! slowly but surely girls are getting not only shows were a character has two moms or where everyone around them keeps saying the girls are just friends, but explicit, romantically charged, sweet and complex relationships between girls who have clear, delineated Feelings for each other, and even though it is bittersweet that this didn’t happen when we were young we still get to see it happen. when our daughters grow up they’re going to go wild over the fact that it used to be a big deal.
