@@solaniarhythm7940 Yeah, I agree. I should've been more clear, lol. They should portray something in a good light, and shouldn't do anything that insult cultures and races, for example acting a character that's a different race than the actor, should not be played by said actor. Cultures, however, are a more difficult subject. Some cultures are closed, and shouldn't be portrayed by anyone other than someone in that culture. For other cultures, extreme research should be done, but personally I still feel like someone only from that culture should play it, in order for it to be accurate, ig. But unfortunately, people don't do any research on the stuff they have to act out, and that's where cultural appropriation comes in.

The irony is that the so-called fans who did this automatically assumed that Kit being seen with a girl, one who is actually out as bisexual herself by the way, meant that he couldn't be part of the queer community and must therefore obviously be straight, completely ignored the possibility of bisexuality introduced to us in the show with Kit's character. That said, Kit plainly told people that he did not want to label his sexuality, especially not publicly and at such a young age. He did not owe that to us and he shouldn't have felt forced to do it. He is still basically a child. I can't imagine feeling like I needed to come out to the entire freaking world as bisexual at 18 years old. Because that's what he had to do. He has a worldwide fan base and felt like he had to come out to the entire world. Very publicly. No one should feel like they need to do that, especially not a teenager!

The worst part about this is that “Heartstopper” partially revolves around people discovering Charlie’s sexuality without him telling them what it was. He was outed, and it was very clearly traumatic for him. And now people are doing the exact same thing to one of the actors in the very show. When Kit says “Clearly you missed the point of the show,” that just hit like a punch. It’s outrageous that people are doing this.

What have these gays said or done to bullied you? Thats wrong. I'm a lesbian and I think some bi girls didn't like me after a while because they wanted to just casual hook up with me and I rejected them. ( out of respect to their bfs and myself) many gay ppl like to include bis ( u guys are a big percentage) I'm open to dating bi girls! they just have to either be single or stay in the friend zone for us to work. We all just have to be more vocal. No dating app hook up things or cruising while they have a bf. I went on a three hour date with a bi girl who didn't tell me she had a bf until after the date...then she scurried out like a bat out of hell ( was she looking for a hook up?).😆 these bi girls give a lot of bi ppl a bad Name. I feel sorry for you. I don't hate bi women or men...I'd just prefer being just friends with them if they have bfs. But they can invite their bf to queer events like pride or bars! Gays don't care.. Just be honest and a good person and you will be accepted with us lesbians like in any relationship. ( I know many lesbians and bis who hang out) I'm just talking from my own personal experiences. Don't think I'm generalizing all bi ppl. Peace and love. ( for some reason I offend bi ppl for saying this, if so I'm sorry in advance but I'm generally curious as to what lesbian or gay hate you get because I think that is awful and should be stopped..we should all be together.

Queerbaiting doesn't seem to just apply to fiction as you have given a definition of real life people doing it too, when that wasn't part of the original definition. It has now just included real life people especially when fans think or believe the person is using lgbt people for fame or money and not being supportive. People accuse Harry Styles of queerbaiting but he hasn't said anything. While it's super bad that Kit was forced to do this as he must have felt very pressured. I wish he got help from staff and others before the post so they would have been able to help him better. From the post, we can tell he was very angry as he should be.

It's really interesting to see that media that has bisexual main characters tend to have the most biphobic fandoms. This also happened in The Owl House fandom, people constantly calling Luz, a bisexual girl, a lesbian just because she's in a sapphic relationship with Amity, the actual lesbian in the relationship. Nick constantly gets called gay just cause he dates Charlie and that sucks a lot because even in the show bisexuality is respected and we don't have that stereotype of "Charlie doesn't like bisexual people because Ben dumped him for a girl". And I feel Kit's situation got even worse after pictures of him and his friend/co-worker Maia Reficco were taken. Like, dude Maia herself is bisexual too and they were just holding hands, but apparently he can't hold hands with a girl cause that means dating. But him constantly hugging, giving piggyback rides and saying sappy stuff to his boy friends doesn't mean anything. The biphobia is showing.

Right!?! No one remembers that Maia is also bisexual, but she is. She's said it in multiple interviews and on her own twitter. And regarding both Kit and Maia, and the character Nick Nelson, too, for that matter, it's bi erasure as well as biphobia. Bisexual people exist. And that aside, Kit did not owe us his sexuality. He's still basically a child. And he had already said very plainly that he did not want to label himself, especially publicly and at such a young age. No one owes us their sexuality. And no one should feel like they need to come out before they're ready.

One of the things I love about Heartstopper is that they show Nick realizing and exploring his bisexuality without having to date people of different genders. Because you are bisexual even before you've dated people of multiple genders. Hopefully this show will help to raise more awareness that bisexuality is real and valid and a complete sexuality all by itself.

As a bisexual, I think we feel like we have to prove that we are by dating people of the same-sex and that if we date anyone from the opposite sex then people are going to think we are lying and are just straight. Even though the literal definition of bisexuality is that you like both. And people forgot that when Kit was photographed holding another girl's hand, people were like, 'oh so he's straight', like holding hands with someone of the opposite gender means you're straight and are dating when you know no one would think that if he was holding hands with a boy. Rant over. I feel so bad for Kit and know exactly what he's going through as I was forced to come out to my parents. I'll pray for him and his well-being.

That's what infuriates me the most. I'ts great that people find labels to identify themselves with, but not everyone *has* to put a label on themselves. Some people just don't want to label themselves, some legit don't know what to label themselves with and that's ok. For example, I'm pretty sure I'm on the ace spectrum, but don't know where exactly, and I also might be panromantic, but I'm not sure either. I've never officially labeled myself because I legit have no idea as what and I honestly don't care either. I just take everything as it comes and I don't owe anyone an explanation, except maybe a future partner. The thought of people demanding your sexuality so they can check and approve if you're allowed to label yourself like that based on the behavior they see from you is just gross. They really only care about themselves.

Hi, queer webtoon author here. On a MUCH smaller scale, I felt pretty forced to come out about not only my sexuality but my gender identity due to similar circumstances - not only by readers, but also by fellow authors and artists who question others' "right" to write about certain topics. It's also worth noting that, though most of my characters are queer, the focus of my main comic that I get the most pushback for is on navigating mental health struggles such as schizophrenia, which I myself am clinically diagnosed with and have had to repeatedly state as much in the face of additional gatekeeping on the mental health side of things. Though this was all to a much smaller audience and lesser degree, it has really messed me up over the past few years and forcibly shaped my online perception, as well as my own perception of myself in some ways. It just hit really close to home because I was outed IRL in high school and painted as a predator as one of the only gay kids in my rural hometown; I was hoping writing about my experiences would help heal some of my old wounds, so for the same thing to happen all over again cut really deep. This type of behavior from supposed "supporters" can really hurt creators of any kind involved in a project. I really feel for Kit and hope those who did this to him start to see the error of their ways. Thank you for talking about this, Frederic! ❤

Fr tho, I say this as a Gen Z member of the community - we have completely lost sight of the sociopolitical and socioeconomic purposes of the LGBT community. We are supposed to support one another in our fight to liberation, not get caught up in tacky internet debates about strangers' sexualities - especially when those debates hinge on highly heteronormative and patently biphobic assumptions such as: "He held hands with a girl, he must be straight!" It's getting ridiculous. Most of the world is still behind on LGBT rights (I live in the Caribbean so I feel the brunt of this), and the few places that have made progress are still socially reactionary (just look at how conservative/alt-right Americans are obsessively trying to destroy what little trans people have). So why oh why are young LGBT folk so obsessed over such materially inconsequential discourse?

As someone who is living in a situation where, if i were outed, i would risk my life, it's so upsetting to see kit beeing outed because of the fear that he's "queerbaiting", because it just shows me that i can't do anything that might "seem gay" without outing myself, why do people want celebrities to discolse their sexuality as if they won't risk anything themselves? Or they feel like it's none of your business? Or they're not ready yet? No one owes you an explanation tyvm

As a bisexual woman I have always said that the lgbt community can be the most loving and most hateful of people, it’s like if you don’t fit into what mold they approve of then they attack you. I swear I’ve never been given crap from a single straight person who I’ve come out to but I have definitely been told my sexuality isn’t valid by people in the queer community and that always confused me cuz I thought that the lgbt community was supposed to be loving and accepting to people who were apart of it. I just reminds me of when that trans man posted a video talking about how they had a bad transition and how things like how they were balding and how they kind of regretted transitioning but they had gone too far and they felt they couldn’t turn back now, like they were just expressing their experiences and regrets but they never said no one else could transition or that it was wrong if you wanted to transition. They were just sharing their experience and then people from the lgbt community, especially trans folk, started coming for him and giving him tons of hate and death threats and just in general started taunting and making fun of him because of his back experience and kept throwing it in his face that they transitioned nicely. Like I just remember seeing that and it just left me sick to my stomach because I thought that this was supposed to be a loving community but from the things I’ve seen and experienced it can be just as hypocritical as anyone on the street and just as hateful as a homophobe.

Just wanna say as a bri’ish person: In the books nick is in year 11 and I think all the other main cast are in year 10 Year 10: 14-15 years old Year 11: 15-16 years old But onto the actual video: I went through the same thing as kit but on a smaller scale. My parents have always known I’m queer but I’d never come out to them but one day they went through my phone and had a discussion with me about my texts with a friend (basically just venting) but then they also started to go “anything else you want to discuss?” And I kept saying no but then they said “what about who you like or relationships?” And I kept denying but they couldn’t take no and kept pressuring me until I outed myself to them and started crying. All I got was “we’re so proud.” And “We only wanted you to come out because we’ve known for years”. I’ve tried to talk to them about it but they won’t talk to me about it and just refuse to see the absolute family breaking mistake they made. I sort of know what Kit Connor has gone through and it absolutely sucks.I genuinely feel so bad for him.

I’m in high school right now and when this show came out my queer friends were obsessed with it. They were part of the fandom that was trying to find out kit conners sexuality and I always thought it was super weird and I hated it. I have been repeatedly outed (mostly with and by family members) and while these “friends” knew about that, they still ended up telling most of the school that I was queer without me knowing or giving them permission. When I heard that kit conner was outed I felt sick because being outed has SERIOUS impacts on the person and one of the things I loved most about heartstopper was that it showed that a little. I am sad that some fans missed that point of the show because people really need to learn that…

He was forced to come out and the whole school knew. They say it so many times in the comic/show that coming out should be your own decision and you're the one to choose the time and place. And now they're doing that to Kit. Because let's be honest, he's just 18. Why would he have to tell the whole word his sexuality.

What really upsets me about this situation is that in interviews promoting Heartstopper Kit Connor spoke about being proud of being involved, how he had a crush on Hugh Grant, how Nick was the character he most identified with, how this show was the “representation we didn’t have”, and lots of other comments where it was clear that he felt a part of the queer community. He spoke like he was in the community and he cared about the community. So, when people accused him of saying he didn’t want to label himself because he was actually straight, it made no sense to me going on the stuff he was actually saying in interviews. Then there was all the bi erasure, and biphobia inherent in the assumption that he is straight because he might be in a relationship with a woman (he was seen holding hands with a female co-star). When I read his coming out tweet I felt sick in the stomach.

What an actor owes the public, is his very best performance in character when the camera turns on or the curtain parts. His craft is his gift to us. Now often actors are contractually obligated to do photo shoots, meet & greets, interviews etc to promote the finished product. That is something he owes his studeo, his investors, etc. What he owes his fans is politeness and respect in interactions that are mutually enjoyed or sought. He does not owe them autographs, or time, or answers to personal questions. When he is more generous than that, we should be grateful for we are not entitled.

I'm glad someone finally talked about this topic. As far as I know I've not seen anyone else bring it up. It is one of many unfortunate issues in today's society. I hoped during Kit's break from the app he'd find the time to block out those pushing him. Though of course as an actor he wasn't given the amount of privacy that he deserves. Nobody should have to be forced or feel obligated to tell another something so personal. It is a toxic and mentally numbing thing to put a person through. To be honest Frederic is probably one of the best people to have covered this topic, since not many people may be able to genuinely understand the troubles Kit is currently going through.

This reminds me of the spy x family drama where people blew everything out of proportion on what is very much a wholesome show. And now it's escalated to a personal level. I don't understand what goes through these people's heads and why they're always so full of envy and hate. I hope they realize soon that this isn't going to get them anywhere and they're just doing more harm on themselves.

This is so sad. It reminds me of in middle school everyone always told me I was a lesbian. My whole life actually, people would label me lesbian and while I knew I liked girls I had never been in a relationship, and I wasn't sure about labels I didn't really understand the full scope of my feeling on the matter. Eventually after people repeatedly saying "are you a lesbian? You're definitely a lesbian." Or stuff like "there's no way you're not gay." I just accepted it and 'came out' as lesbian. Because, well I liked girls so it made sense. I wish people would just mind their business and let others figure out their own sexuality. Because after growing and self reflection, I realized I am a trans dude and definitely not a lesbian. Not straight either. But society made me slap a label on before I was ready and I had to come out again, which really sucks. And what sucks even more is that some people still think that I'm a lesbian who's just afraid to be a girl which is complete bs. Its a very different situation than what Kit is going through. But people need to keep their opinions and questions about a CHILD'S sexuality to themselves. Let the kids figure it out, let them come out when they're ready. Especially heartbreaking that it was the queer community who did this to him. None of my queer friends would ever behave this way. Is everyone so chronically online they don't understand the implications of what they do or say to someone from their keyboard? They should be ashamed of themselves.

Okay but seriously, pushing an 18 YEAR OLD out the closet is not fair at all. I'm still figuring things out too but if I had to go through something like this, I don't know but this is unexceptionable! I really like how Frederic (spelled it right this time) said that "They don't owe it to you" because it's not the thing that defies a person and it shouldn't matter! I feel really bad and I hope Kit has had time for a break to get himself back together.

as a closeted trans and bi person this is so infuriating can't believe they made him come out since this show was something that was amazing for me

Oh my gosh I swear the uproar in my local queer community was incomprehensible but the all of the support I have seen online is kind of restoring my faith in this community yet at the same time making me question being a part of this community constantly 😭😭😭

heartbreak high also does an amazing job of showing gay/trans kids in high school. It doesn’t just have the kids bullied and beaten up for being gay/trans. Life for gay/trans people can be good at high school.

As someone who was outed online by own friends was hard enough. (and not many people really know me), but I can't imagine what Kit was going through with the large audience he has. Literally forced myself to come out so I could have the final say of the whole situation. I'm still not out to my siblings and closest friends irl and that'f fine. I know when the time will be right. Taking away a queer person's option on when and where to come out is digusting and I'm tired of it happening to people with an audience. I also wanted to thank you, Frederic for you talking about this, I'm 19 at the time writing this waiting for my senior year to be over until I begin to slowly come out to my friends and family. And this is coming from a kid who has grown up in a super relious and conservative household. I get envious of people with supportive families of the LGBTQ+ community, but that doesn't give me the right to be mad at those people. I'm so happy for kids who have a supportive environment. I wish more kids had an easy time coming to the realization there queer and feel comfortable coming out. Heartstopper is a show that has made me feel good about being queer. I still have self hatred about being a gay man, but that's never excuse to put that hatred onto others. (sorry for the rambling, and this isn't me trying to get sympathy, I hate people who write this stuff waiting for comments of support, I just wanted to express my opinion on the topic and say thanks for saying what you said in this video) (also sorry for my poor grammar skills, always been more of a math kid lol)

As a person who wasn’t fully prepared to come out yet, it was one of the hardest things I went through. I forgot how to function normally for a while because I was so stressed and anxious about what my parents thought about me, my marks dropped, I was an emotional mess and I thought about doing some not so great things to myself. I can’t even imagine how Kit was feeling on a *worldwide* scale. It’s crazy. I agree how these people have clearly missed the whole message of the comics and the show. Kit has every single reason to be mad.

I watched "Heartstopper" two days ago. When I've heard of that, I got angry at those people, who accused and forced him to do this. What a shame. Kit didn't deserved that. I feel sorry for him, and I support him. I had kinda same experience in school. Someone in my school accused me and spread rumors, that I'm gay. But I'm straight. I was really confused for a very long time. But I started to date a very kind girl. We started to hangout more and more. And now she is my girlfriend. When others find out who bulled me, they we're surprised. And they apologized me for everything, that they did. This is very rude, what they did. I have never done and will never do what these people are doing now. I don't like people who make things up, gossip or slander people. This is very unethical. I think these people who did this regret that they did it. Everyone deserves the best. And it's none of your business what a person's personal life is like. This is horrible, what they did for Kit. I'm so sorry on the behalf of all the awful kids my age. Their behavior shows that they are immature.

It’s just sad that Kit had to come out like this. He’s so young and was put in that kind of pressure. He did not deserve to be treated this way by the so-called “fans.”

Honestly this show and Alice Oseman’s books (literally all of them including her novels) gave me confidence to come out and made me feel better about myself in so many ways and it probably saved my life ngl
