How to uplift & love lesbians in the rpc (& hopefully always??) even if you yourself are not a lesbian:
- listen to lesbians?? esp trans lesbians and/or lesbians of color. we’re not a hive mind and we’re gonna vary depending on the person lmao.
- if a character you’re playing is revealed to be a lesbian then it’s time to hang up the ships you have with men (because no, you can’t be a lesbian and date men, that’s Kinda A Thing), change your muse’s bio and rules, and move the fuck on. maybe make a psa post if you’re feeling sparky.
- this isn’t the time to make “””””aus””””” where your lesbian muse is bi, dig your heels into the ground, or go “canon divergent” or w/e just so u can continue to ship them w/ men. That’s overtly shitty.
- if you see friends doing this shit, you need to tell them to curb that shit. It’s not the time to be like “Well it’s their RIGHT to—” NAH DUDE, it’s erasure. period.
- This is related to the first one, but also UNLEARN LESBOPHOBIA.
- If someone says you’ve done something lesbophobic take a step back, evaluate, and then be better going forward. Dont play the keyboard bongos whilst insisting that you’re really in the right or guilt-trip the person telling you (ei: “im sorry i’m a horrible person and should die”)
- Actively support lesbians. Trans lesbians and Lesbians of color. Older lesbians and baby lesbians who are just figuring themselves out. Lift their voices and make them feel loved and valued!! It’s easy and free!!!
- Take an interest in lesbian muses! Again. Especially lesbian muses of color and trans lesbian muses. They need love! A lot of times people kinda. lose interest in muses that they don’t think are as “shippable”. 👏 f/f 👏 ships 👏 are 👏 good 👏 ships! 👏
feel free to add.
