insane how movies people commend for their lgbt subtext (reservoir dogs, fight club, the matrix, generally most filmbro movies in this case) oftentimes end up being the best representation lgbt people get, considering most mainstream queer films are exaggerated portrayals of lgbt experiences that miss the mark because of bad representation or unrealistic characters, and films that people interpret as lgbt in any way despite not being explicitly so serve as more realistic portrayals because the characters aren't written like the stereotypes seen in "canon" queer media and they're allowed to have their stories told as fully formed people while also being gay or trans, since hollywood stereotypes don't apply to people irl. in short subtext can and does help subvert harmful characterisations whether it's obvious or not
