Leography 459 Posted December 24, 2025 Share Posted December 24, 2025 The show makes people really happy + it started really important conversations Even if it sucked, which I don't think it does, especially the latest episodes, I would love it for that. We need it more than ever in 2025. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original novels were written by a woman for other women (yikes) Β Reveal hidden contents The fetishisation of gay people by heterosexual people of the opposite sex is a real problem y'all Men have been fetishizing women forever and that includes gay men. Letβs not pretend that this book being written by a woman is some sort of oppressionβ¦ I agree that the show is a tad overrated but itβs just entertainment and it never pretended to be anything else. With the amount of shows on Netflix that are basically just softcore **** for straight people, i donβt understand why this show gets criticized for being exactly that.Β 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodandsmile 11,581 Posted December 24, 2025 Share Posted December 24, 2025 I saw a poster of the show in one of those free sites and before seeing the title I genuinely thought it was a p*rno and was shook not really surprised it's a hit, people are really freaked out nowadays, HBO is just supplying the demand!

TheARTPOPball 1,170 Posted December 24, 2025 Share Posted December 24, 2025 Id prefer a show thatβs less hypersexualized but thatβs what sells I guess. Films like love Simon made a big impact on me in my teensΒ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagzus 18,619 Posted December 24, 2025 Share Posted December 24, 2025 I just kinda want a show thatβs kinda more true to real gay life than what gets show on tv, but thatβs never gonna happen.Β Β the closest Iβve found is a wonderful tv show here in the UK called Smoggie Queens (about Drag Queens from Middlesbrough) and although it has some insane hijinks, the emotional and even the sexual level feels more true to life I find.
