a key part of sqq’s binghe apologism is he’s not a “binghe did nothing wrong” kind of guy, he’s not turning a blind eye to binghe’s crimes, he doesn’t act like they don’t exist. he’s a “yeah he did all that shit, and he deserved to do it” kind of apologist. he knows binghe is terrifying and crazy and capable of violence. he’s very aware. he’s so aware of this that he kills himself preemptively because he doesn’t want to risk whatever binghe might have in store for him. AT THE SAME TIME THOUGH he’s still like “obviously binghe deserves to get violent revenge, it’s justified.” it’s why he gets so defensive on binghe’s behalf when other people criticize him, people could be listing binghe’s crimes and he’d be like “yeah AND?? what would you do in his shoes???”
i do think there should be more stories and shows and stuff about guys falling in love with butch women actually, i think that’d be a good thing. and not ‘this is as butch as twitter can handle’, i mean butch as can fucking be without apology, and making those boys weak in the knees about it. i think it’s great actually to have f/m romances that exist to break gender norms, too. i think it sucks that the only mainstream het romances that exist are either about women who are already feminine or with women who are just a little too scarily masculine and have to be fixed into being girlier. that’s shit.
it’s not like. taking away from queer people if you let “the straights” have some genderfuckery in their romance, too. that’s good, actually, the blurring of gender roles and performance and getting better understandings of your own sexuality is good for everyone. and it’s really fucking weird if you think that mainstream “het” romances shouldn’t feature women who are “too masculine” because that’s only allowed for queer people, somehow.
when we got Junie she was a scrungly malnourished rat looking thing with half her fur missing. we used to point at her and say “that thing is a bug”
fast forward, we named her Juno, which has inspired many a nickname for the beast, but most notably: “junebug” which subsequently became “bugbug” and eventually just “bug”
