      I swear, one of the worst tricks we men have ever played on ourselves was equating emotional intimacy with *sexual* intimacy. The fear of "Oh god this might be gaaaaaaaay" has left men so lonely and in so much pain it's unbelievable.

      This is why I always hated the Captain America and Bucky Barnes ship. Two men who share an emotional bond with one another in a mutually fulfilling, non-toxic friendship? They must be fucking.

      I have the same problem with everyone who insists that Bert and Ernie must be >wink*wink<. It’s another attempt to take male friendship away from boys.

      That's more complicated; a writer for them says he *was* modeling the characters off his own relationship. Sesame Street company goes with "ack, no!"https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/bert-ernie-are-gay-couple-sesame-street-writer-claims-n910701 …

      Well yeah but it's worth noting this is one writer who didn't come up with the characters, and Frank Oz said he and Jim Henson, who actually played Bert and Ernie, based them on themselves when they were roommates

      I'm very in favor of queer headcanons and I think Frank Oz put his foot in his mouth a little when talking about this but it was fair for him to say "Jim and I didn't think of these characters as gay when we invented them and as straight guys it would've been appropriative"

          I wish there were a way that didn't feel glib/dismissive to say, "There were enough different inputs that *whatever* validation you get out of that relationship is probably there, intended by *someone*."
