I think that's a really good angle and it's what I'm hoping to eventually land on. It looks like a REALLY fun interpretation of the ship at least so I'm looking forward to seeing that!
All of those are extremely good words. My experience has been that the amount of infighting I've *personally* been exposed to has been much higher in the last few years and that's why I feel more guilty about it now than I used to, I suppose. It's so *unproductive*.
It feels like I used to see all these conversations about how messy queerness was, by design, and how one goal was to stop drawing "here is your box, abide by it eternally" lines, and now they're...not gone, but not the loudest voices, unless I limit my circle very severely. Maybe it's just a problem of venue.
I suppose the real solution is always more real, actual representation of various sorts so there's less "squabbling over who gets to keep this one", but I think a little bit of nuance re:multiple interpretations would probably be good in some cases. Though I do get that it's difficult, especially for really young folks I think.
