#queerwave
It outqueers a lot of queerwave cartoons (while being for adults) and outanimates Lower Decks (while keeping its humor actually funny instead of an eternal cringefest) into the ground. I think even its spaceship looks better than the horrific CGI object in LD.

Considering how many serial harassers of trans women are also really really into queerwave cartoons it's surprising how little they seem to retain from the clearly spelled-out messaging of the shows

Lesbian Space Princess--like the American queerwave cartoons for kids--is meant to be omg so diverse so queer so representation, but just ends up at TERF city. Harmony is meant to be those things in no way but tells a far more profound, striking story while also being nowhere near offensive.

there are a lot of queerwave characters with a powerful transfeminine energy or allegorical position (Scorpia, for example) where the voice casting gap becomes conspicuous

-queer issues filtered through watered-down queerwave media like SU and TOH, and thus treat our disappointment as trans women as an excuse to attack us.

I wrote an essay in the latest edition of @theboyisbeautiful.bsky.social about Queerwave. A film festival that takes place in the old walled city of Nicosia, where I grew up.

I mean we're specifically talking about the queerwave cartoons, where this definitely is a more prevalent thing. And being rare is still less rare than trans girls in these things

american queerwave cartoons...also known as faux anime for the gays lol
Every time I try to watch one of those American queerwave cartoons I'm left asking questions like, is that animation going at... 5 frames per second? 10 maybe? Why does everything lack detail? Why are the backgrounds so bad? Why is there no lighting or shadow? Why does it look like THAT?

y'know it is really funny that I see people clinging to the queerwave cartoons for rep with the energy of 'well we have nothing else!' and I just look over at yuri and baihe. Both are textual lesbians and there's even some transfem rep from time to time which is more than I can say for queerwave

also funny because a lot of the american queerwave cartoons have pretty similar styles

medically necessary queerwave children's TV show

Honestly besides op using She-Ra as an example of "queerwave", can't really think of any examples. Like yeah they'd fit the faux anime stuff though they're pretty direct with anime being an influence rather than hiding it & yeah they can be prettu gay, they wouldn't really fit the description

Gnosia looking this good is wild, American queerwave cartoons don't get this kinda budget tbh, not even close.
October 18, 2025 at 8:02 PM
yeah this is where I'm at. If there's any animated show that I thought looked generally good it was kind of Adventure Time because it really felt like a cartoon that embraced what it was, but the Queerwave stuff often feels like it's trying to be anime more often than not and falling short there
October 16, 2025 at 8:36 AM
Iiiinteresting, I should really catch up. I liked Adventure Time a lot and I tend to consider Bubbeline to be more important (to me) than some of the later queerwave stuff so I've been meaning to catch up on this new stuff

man what the fuck is queerwave

can't wait to release that shoegazy grungy queerwave album 🥰💜✨

Also, this "discourse" really shows how much people devalue and dehumanize trans women if we offer the SLIGHTEST CRITICISM.

And it's ESPECIALLY infuriating that this is most likely from people who only care about queer issues because of queerwave media like TOH, which don't have great track-

tbh a lot of the queerwave cartoons give me the VERY firm impression, frequently, that they think the more mysterious your gender is or the more gnc cis boy you are, the better and that suggesting they add a transfem would be a downgrade in their eyes. It's frustrating
