minus-squareCryophilia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·7 months agoEarly 2000s vampire stuff was not gay. Somehow, the gayness as taken over. Not a bad thing, just interesting.

minus-squareFilterItOut@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkarrow-up4·7 months agoAnne Rice did it waaaaay before Twilight was the wet dream in the author’s head. Even Dracula had crazy bitches in it. Sexual taboos are more freely explored in fiction, and the supernatural turns fiction up to 11.
minus-squareantidote101@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·7 months agoNosferatu too, and the 1990s Dracula movie, it’s all got gay currents.
minus-squareantidote101@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·7 months agoI suspect it’s more just that 1990s gay men didn’t code themselves that much in the way of fashion. Some were swept up in grunge, others went normcore, many wanted a career so coded themselves around that. The Lost boys might equally be a bunch of California grunge gays, but that has no visual coding to it to be seen.
minus-squareCryophilia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoPossible. A lot of 1990s gay men were very fabulous but I suppose plenty kept it more low key since it was less acceptable back then.
