Leography 265 Posted Wednesday at 03:59 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:59 PM 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) 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. Let’s not pretend that this book being written by a woman is some sort of oppression… I agree that the show is a tad overrated but it’s 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 don’t understand why this show gets criticized for being exactly that. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodandsmile 11,237 Posted Wednesday at 04:06 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:06 PM 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 944 Posted Wednesday at 04:18 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:18 PM Id prefer a show that’s less hypersexualized but that’s what sells I guess. Films like love Simon made a big impact on me in my teens 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagzus 16,400 Posted Wednesday at 04:46 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:46 PM I just kinda want a show that’s kinda more true to real gay life than what gets show on tv, but that’s never gonna happen. the closest I’ve 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. Play all the actors are LGBTQ+ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very much “provocative” but indicative of gay life I find 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladle Ghoulash 31,672 Posted Wednesday at 04:56 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:56 PM I don’t even watch the show, but I do lowkey think the idpol gatekeeping surrounding storytelling is getting a bit tired.
