Also honestly I'm kind of turned off by people who fight really zealously to claim him and keep him even in the face of stuff like how he followed up Ziggy Stardust with The Thin White Duke (ironic fascism as an aesthetic) and, you know, had sex with teenagers

Yeah that's the thing that infuriates me, David Bowie was a shit dude, never a spectacular ally, almost certainly cishet, very certainly a rapist, but he's an icon of the queer community because of tight pants and "glam" but Kurt Cobain, who said outright he was bi, is ignored
