Venture Brothers  is better than Rick & Morty!

Hot take - if you want to see less toxic men on screen, ones with complex friendships and emotions, try to not sexualize it every time it happens.

occasionally homoerotically-charged

Judging by his Twitter, I think Lil Nas would appreciate your joke. He’s down with the Dragon Balls

Ironically, full of Nikes.

Bucky was family though. Steve’s parents were dead and Bucky got his family to take him in. I might not do what Steve did for a good friend, but I would do it for a brother. 

Compared to all the depressing stuff on Twitter last week, this shit is a fucking hoot and I’m totally here for it. 

Clearly this is all a big misunderstanding and Lil Nas X is just showing his appreciation for the man who saved humanity from Perfect Cell and Majin Buu...

Is this a joke? Why are we reaching for this? God forbid two men just be friends without having to add some romantic subtext onto it. We literally saw Bucky go on a date in the first episode; he may be bi, but there’s no reason to assume he’s not straight, and to complain about “queer-baiting” is absurd.

Agreed

Bucky as gay or Bi? Totally believable. I’d love to see it. Him getting it on with Sam? Drivel. That’s fanfic at its worst. 

oooooo, two “Falcon and Winter Soldier isn’t doing enough” articles in one day. 

Do people realize how harmful it is to read sex into every friendly relationship? Fanfic is mostly fun and innocent but stuff like this that attempts to read this into everything as if it’s important is really bad. It’s really, really important to have queer characters! It’s ALSO really, really important to have…

As much as I enjoy this site, they are amongst the worst offenders when it comes to that.

1000% agree. Dudes can be very close friends, without there being a sexual elements to it. That needs to be normalized. Instead we constantly get articles like, pining for “shipping” them.

Personally, I could see Captain Marvel or Star Lord being pansexual. Travel the galaxy seeing lots of different beings out there and I would imagine your horizons would open up on potential romantic partners.

Literally any piece of art showing male friendship:

I mean, it’s not bait at all. There’s nothing there. This article just proposes fanfic by people who are understandably desperate for mainstream representation.
