remember that post about a fangirl who followed a gay couple all the way to their home street and took pictures? well people got very angry (understandably) and after that there has been an abundance of stop-fetishising-gay-men posts and lots of shouting at teenage girls in fandoms

i’m not saying that it’d be okay to fetishise gay men and yes those aww-i-saw-a-gay-couple-today posts are ridiculous and yes stalking someone is creepy as fuck BUT i can’t help thinking that some of those guys screaming IT HARMS US TO BE FETISHISED really lack perspective

for a woman of any sexuality stepping out of the door is basically considered an agreement to be objectified and fetishised by strangers and there are whole fucking websites dedicated to creepshots and the only ones who make a fuss about that are women themselves and no one else gives a fuck

and let’s be honest a teenage girl who doesn’t even want to have sex with you but misguidedly thinks you’re some god-like fictional creature might make you uncomfortable and be really creepy but she is not a threat
