Most of these places nowadays are full of cis-het people, which can be argued to be connected to the substantiality of queer spaces.
This mechanism may also be applied to physical queer spaces such as gay bars or clubs. The queer community has played an important role in popularizing some online platforms, while later being limited by those very platforms.
I will look at examples such as OnlyFans, Tumblr, and gay bars to elaborate the discussion. Space here is divided into two categories: virtual and physical spaces. To answer this question, I try to look at the relationship between queer space and sustainability. We all agree, queer spaces have seen an unprecedented increase in cisgender-heterosexual (cis-het) people who historically have sought to distance themselves from these spaces. I have visited queer spaces in several European countries I have talked to Dutchmen in Berlin, have conversed with tipsy strangers in the world’s oldest gay bar, and listened to queer sex workers’ frustrations with online platforms.
