ok buckle up my hot take of the day is that the general public would be way more receptive to actually learning about what “queerplatonic relationships” are as a concept if they weren’t turned off by the completely nondescriptive and unapproachable name that contains a word a number of people aren’t totally comfortable with, because judging from how widespread the found family trope is, in a vacuum the idea of a special relationship between people that isn’t traditionally romantic or sexual in nature isn’t actually that hard to palate. i will take any other name at this point. we can start calling them nakamas for all i care. partners, but like in the cowboy sense. moirallegiances. literally anything else
