you know what? I am white heterosexual and white, I love and I identify with james flint and I do it because the things for and I do it because the things for which he fought are universal For me he is an admirable and inspiring character because despite the injustices he suffered he never lost faith in humanity, that the world can be a better world. and I am so angry that people such as these are misunderstood and crushed, but characters like him make me believe that maybe there is still hope

2/2 same anon, long post is long sorry james flint is so inspirational because he makes me hope that I might be a better person than I probably are

Honestly, I’m fairly certain that’s half the point of James Flint existing as a character. That’s why the character is so revolutionary, or at least part of it – he’s queer, he’s here, and he’s a character who’s absolutely relatable and sympathetic to huge swaths of people, which means that when they see him being mistreated because of who he is, they get the point that queer people deserve better than to be abused like that. I’m glad you find him an inspiration, and I think he’d be glad to hear that too – gods know the man spent enough time trying to get people to see what he wanted for the world and for people like him. Now – go do something for your local LGBTQ+ support organizations and make him proud.
