I still can't fathom how that one vine got universally accepted as code for lesbians.

Well, gay couples that don't necessarily advertise it, not just lesbians.

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 9 points 11 months ago

Because it was treated as a reading of historical texts. I haven't personally looked up if those historical texts are legit but it's funny to think that historians would disregard lesbian relations by saying they were just friends/roommates

[-] KermitLeFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It wasn't just lesbian relationships. Pretty much any gay/lesbian relationship when written about by historians calls them roommates or very close friends or some bullshit like that

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 1 points 11 months ago

I had only seen it in the context of lesbian relationships till now (multiple times, not just a couple of times), and didn't want to assume.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

it wasnt due to a vine

That's it. That's really all there is. And yet whenever you see posts about women in love there's always a reference to this one 5 second video. It's also never in the stories about people's uncles having a "friend" who lives with them in a one bed flat in the Castro, it's only ever a wlw thing.
