“healthy male friendships are rare in fiction”

uh

okay

i’ve apparently been consuming an entirely different world of media than y’all because most of the stories in the world revolve around bros being bros…but sure. intense male friendships are underrepresented and oppressed. they aren’t central to most mythology, there aren’t entire genres devoted to them, there wasn’t an entire “no homo” word invented for them because they’re so ubiquitous, ancient philosophers didn’t invent a word to describe them and often hold them to be superior to relationships with women i apparently imagine things all the time.

like there are so many shows where women BARELY EXIST or there’s ONLY ONE how the fuck could male frienships be underrepresented, they are the ONLY FEASIBLE RELATIONSHIP ANYONE CAN HAVE IN A LOT OF STUFF BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS GIRLS TO BE CHARACTERS IN LIKE HALF OF MEDIA NOR DO THEY WANT ANY QUEER CHARACTERS.
