π³οΈβπ With Kit Connor recently trending on Twitter due to accusations of queerbaiting, I thought itβd be interesting to do a discussion video on this topic, looking back on the Heartstopper actor quitting Twitter, Becky Albertalli being forced to come out, and my own experiences navigating scrutiny with the LGBT+ community. I donβt claim to have any answers, rather these are just questions for us to consider. How much of their private lives do creators owe if they profit off of queer content? Who has the authority to tell queer stories? How do we differentiate between protecting a marginalized community versus gatekeeping people from freely exploring their identities? And most importantly, is my camera homophobic because it keeps running out of battery?
