oh my god
@jumpingjacktrash can you tell me what this means because I am so lost
‘beard’ is old queer slang for an opposite-sex person you pretend to date so people will think you’re straight. a very real thing back when same sex relationships were illegal.
in this context, a reference to the unbearably awkward and forced kiss between steve rogers and the niece of his recently dead former girlfriend, in front of two of the men fandom most often ships him with, who are making hideous grimacing fake smiles in response. the only people who thought that was convincing were the homophobic studio meddlers that shoehorned the scene into the movie in the first place.
and now, having apparently served her purpose as captain america’s heterosexuality checkbox, poor agent 13 has been swept aside, her awesome potential to go unrecognized forevermore. all these characters deserved better.
tl;dr: chris evans’ facial hair is good stuff. what the studio did to sharon carter, not so much.
