I'm not even mad about this specific piece being rejected, right after submitting I thought of a potentially problematic interpretation of it and was kind of hoping for a chance to rewrite. but this blanket statement is SO FUCKING INFURIATING

I have another story that isn't queer (except in that it was written by me, a VERY SPECIFICALLY QUEER PERSON) that I was going to submit if I got rejected while submissions were still open, but now I have NO desire to work with these jackasses

one more (HOPEFULLY final) update--he deleted the post I was referring to above, I believe it is no longer accessible and I didn't take screenshots.

What the fuck does that mean? Their site even says "Yes to marginalized and under-represented characters as protagonists" so are those protagonists not supposed to do anything specific to their identities?

this would piss me off under any circumstances but in the context of the hope-and-optimism vibe they're presenting it reeaaally gets my goat
