it is so jarring and weird when a fantasy book is like “ok let’s go around the circle and have each character talk about which lgbt umbrella category they identify with” like ok your fantasy world doesn’t have to be feudal europe but can it not be 2023 twitter please

not to be That Guy
but I approach stuff written in “not original language”
as a translation
Like
a good localization would have a female character say
i like women
instead of “I am a lesbian”
if it's set in ancient China
but both translations are valid (one is just better)
sorry I am a linguistic nerd
I WILL do it again
but yes!
please don't make the fantasy world 2023 Twitter
i beg of thee
