i just don't like when men call women the b word and also his non binary comment is weird (HS is not even non binary) but everything else he's right

Not here for Billy dismissing non binary people, but he’s spot on with everything else.

he's right minus the NB stuff.

HS needs to get called out for his performative bullshit more often.

Sure, use a misogynistic slur to air out your gender-based criticism, that makes sense

I get what he's trying to say, but I feel a little weird about him assuming Harry is straight. I know queerbaiting is an issue, and Harry's motives are said to be questionable, but if we take him at his word he wouldn't define himself as straight.

It just makes me think of how Kit Connor was treated. Always assuming people are straight and queerbaiting rather than taking steps to figure themselves out. Idk I hope that makes sense.

yeah, i perfer to stay out of those discussions re: harry and his sexuality lol on one hand i completely understand that he is performative and puts out an image that really benefits him (look at all this $$ hes making) but at the same time, im not here to question whether someone is non straight (i will say as someone who followed harry since day one thre were always rumors and convos about harry being bisexual) based off their actions. perhaps harry should act more ~straight~ to see less performative? lmao im kidding but its strange to me imo. i do agree w/ ontd that he needs to lift up more voices in the lbgt community since he takes much inspiration from them, and not stay so quiet when advocacy calls

Gay/bi rumors don't mean anything misogynistic, womanizing rappers even have gay/bi rumors.

yes what you said did make sense. i agree that as a society the "default" sexuality seems to be straight and it's always extra weird when seeing someone else in the lgbtqia community doing the heteronormative/default straight assumptions cause it's like lol... shouldn't we of all people not being doing that? I don't remember if harry has ever clarified what his sexuality or iirc he said he doesn't like labels?? maybe i made that up?...
