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. 

Yeah, the fetishization argument reads as somewhat prudish tbh. Like if women are into the idea of men having sex, let em have at it, idgaf.

I think the downside to there being not as much queer media for mainstream consumption is that people in the community immediately feel as though they are supposed to feel represented by it and/or love it. 
This is just a cute raunchy show with what is honestly a typical coming out plot steering the story. If this was not a show with gay characters, different people would be disliking it for the same reasons. The reaching of some people by saying this is harmful to the community is rough, we should be allowed to have our fun and exciting tv shows on a mainstream streaming platform with a promo and production budget too.

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.

This is how I see it.

2025 has ended with:

Softcore gay **** going viral.

Straight dudes loving said **** 😂

Jake Paul getting his jaw broken

Andrew Tate getting smacked down by a boxer in pink gloves.

 

The year was **** but we've ended on a high

As usual, GGD is being overly negative. The show may not be revolutionary, but it’s entertaining and tackles a very real issue: creating space for young NHL players to feel safe coming out, especially when no active player has done so publicly yet.

Honestly for me the amount of discourse of it is the ick for me. Like I enjoyed the first episode but I don't want to even attempt to finish the series now that I've seen so much chatter

Culture/entertainment these days is dead on arrival, you can't enjoy anything to yourself

Me and my boyfriend saying "oh my god this is so bad, they're gonna f-ck again?" during all 5 episodes and we will be saying it more times this Friday :vegas:

At first I was weirded out that it was kinda made for women, but now I think it's interesting. If it makes straight men uncomfortable then I'm all for it. Women should ask their boyfriends more for threesomes with two men. Historical repair.

And it's a little entertaining, you forget about it 5 minutes after the episode ends, but nothing overtly negative about it that makes me NOT want to watch it. Looking forward to the aftermath of last episode's situation. 

My boyfriend has an interesting take: "if they're gonna have that much sex at least they should pull a Gaspar Noe's LOVE and show the d!cks already".

I don’t see Harlequin special on that list.
