questioning whether people actually want to view conversations not intended for them and to which they could not contribute without seeming like a creep

you don't have to describe your identity in absolute terms the word “yet” is free

@allisonwyss (i am A Gay and as A Gay i have been nurtured by subtext and really disheartened by the recent trend in gay storytelling towards making everything explicit, knowable, and conformant to recognized understandings of human life/relationships/sexuality. those adjectives are not what Queer Culture means to me, and i mourn the loss of a time when we were writing mostly for ourselves without concern for transparency)

@allisonwyss i don’t think the supposed normative reader’s interest in dominant culture 🆚 counter/oppressed culture can be equivalated here, which is to say i think the truth is somewhat worse. when engaging with dominant culture, the normative reader is looking for possibility, for which subtext is well-suited. but with counter/oppressed cultures, they are looking for clarity, delineation, and containment. they have no interest in the possibilities afforded to people they aren't and cultures to which they don't belong.
