Aimee Anctil argues for the importance of high quality, complex, and realistic queer BIPOC representation in media. Pulling from shows like 'The Legend of Korra' and 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' Anctil underscores the impact queer BIPOC representation has had in her life. On the other hand, shows like 'The 100' and 'Riverdale' and basically everything produced by Netflix fail to give queer characters the story arcs they deserve. Tropes like bury your queers and queer-coding evil characters are harmful; “Children internalize it all, regardless of if they are aware of it or not.” Stay critical, Anctil implores, and demand better from the networks.

I was first introduced to it around twelve. At fourteen, I was briefly taught how to make a character. After completing my character, I watched their session and was hooked. I wanted to learn more about it and leave my comfort zone to play.

To this day, I cannot go a day without a fag hanging out of my mouth. I’ll get off the shit when it stops being so cool for me to die a little faster than usual. I sit, alone in my room, writing this, sick in my bed, absolutely yearning for nicotine. I allowed myself half of a smoke just this morning, but it clearly isn't enough for such a growing boy.
