STATING FACTS - Tumblr Posts
I had a thought and I’m going to make it everybody’s problem
Ghirahim’s oversexualization in the Zelda fandom (mainly the early sksw fandom but the point is still important) stems from LOTS of homophobia/transphobia and the demonization of queer (esp more effeminate) men/gender non-conforming people. As well as an inability for some— typically allosexual— people to see more traditionally suggestive? Sexual? Seductive? Idk? actions as anything but inherently sexual in nature. Kinda like compulsive-allosexuality if that would be an appropriate term to use? (Ik I just made that term up. No idea if it’s ever been used before)
Disclaimer: I am bi and greysexual so I cannot speak for people that are under different parts of the ace umbrella. If anybody (especially ace folks) would like to add on to my thoughts or correct me please feel free. Just be nice ofc
TLDR: please stop oversexualizing my babygirl and hyperfocusing on being him being ‘sexual’ as a focal point for his character. He’s just a cringefail loser. Let him dress how he wants
