is it okay if the reason Hux can't be with Kylo unless is drunk is something else but homophobia? as a queer person I'm not entirely comfortable with writing about homophobia in context in which canonically there isn't any, but I love the idea of the prompt

DA who was flatmemiing

"as a queer person I'm not entirely comfortable with writing about homophobia in context in which canonically there isn't any"

also queer fanfic writer. can i ask why you feel this way? i tend to assume homophobia in fictional or real contexts that aren't shown as being overtly queer-friendly, but it would make me happy to learn that there is a good reason not to do that.

[I tend to get passionate about this so - nothing to do with you OP or you DA] but: why? Because I want to imagine a context in which homosexuality has never, and never will be considered something to be ashamed of. Because it's tiring and I am tired, to see everything queer-related in mainsteam media to be all Suffering and Pain. Because it bugs me - I was first introduced to this trend through mid-00 slash fanfic writers of the Drarry variety that only used homophophobia as a cheap plot device to write sadfic. Not all the struggles queer people face have to do with being discriminated - what if, novel concept, we wrote about queer people... who have issues... unrelated to their being queer.... like Normal People(TM)? I write fic because it's fun, not a political statement, and I don't see why I've got to import bigoted thinking into my fun time. I mean, we are the first to get pissed when a Sad Gay Movie is about homophobia, so why bring it over to fanfic? Is it so hard to imagine a world in which being queer is seen as a perfectly normal alternative to being straight?

(Incidentally, this is the same reason why, as a woman, I'm perfectly happy assuming sexism doesn't exist in the SW universe. Leia being a woman doesn't get her patronizing talkings-to, and Rey's hero journey is every bit that of every stereotypical male hero, and after two or three hints of sexism happening I just groan and close the tab because I don't need that shit in my life.)

Again, I hope this doesn't come across as angry or anything? God I hope not. Generally, when I write fanfic set in the real world I'm fine with a few reference to homophobia being a thing, though I usually don't like it being the focus of the work; in context in which homophobia doesn't need to exist, by bar of tolerance for it existing gets really low. It's just a personal thing - I know there's people who like to write about actual RL queer struggles in fic as a coping mechanism, but I'm here to have fun, so.

Whoah, this was a rant. Sorry :)

OP, no worries, I get you! I'm queer too and I'm a bit of both, sometimes I like it when these worlds are better, other times I need the misery I know to exist there. You can do other reasons tho :) xx

AYRT

That's actually a great rant, thank you. You sound justifiably angry at the same thing that makes me angry too, and we're both expressing that in different ways in our writing. Keep on imagining better worlds! :)

OP, sure! I know how it is, I'd really prefer it if it came from Hux feeling that there's something wrong with himself or with wanting Kylo but it doesn't have to be internalized homophobia, could be he thinks sex is bad, or low self esteem, dysmorphia, trauma... yeah, it's okay :)
