yeah i think we're coming at this from slightly different angles but its basically the same feeling i have - forget the name of it but thinking of that one manga where a lesbian character had a big, cool speech about gender, how people perceive her, and then she winds up with a random lame dude at the end and her sexuality is not acknowledged at all in the final chapter. lol

theres some interesting stuff here but its funny that the op is so hardline about not explicitly exploring homophobia and then the replies descend into 'what about gay *men*!?'

I'm loving gay what the gently caress

I get your point and part of it is that I'm tired of people acting like two characters of the same gender having the same exact same sort of scenes a heterosexual couple would have doesn't mean its gay rep unless they plaster every single sign and advertisement with THESE GIRLS ARE GAY AND THEY gently caress BECAUSE THEY'RE LESBIANS. It's hyperbole, sure, but we're also at the point where people are reducing media about queer experiences, the problems minorities face, etc. to "can I ship two people of the same gender together" and only engaging with that aspect, not any of the other very important bits. Like I dunno, only caring about Grave of the Fireflies because one of the dudes is hot and never engaging with the other aspects.

Yes I know at the same time people and corporations and all the other fucks being cowardly about "are these two people gay and in love" by hemming and hawing and all that bullshit because they know a good portion of their fanbase ship 2 people of the same gender together and they don't want to lose their money and viewership but also don't want "ew loving gay people" explicitly on their show but people also seem to think that if a couple doesn't loudly proclaim that they're gay and together it doesn't count as rep. Queerbaiting is different from not confirming a queer couple. Queerbaiting is the intentional strategy to imply there's hope for a canon gay ship when it was never intended. Queerbaiting is what shows like Supernatural do when the writer interviews go "maybe those two guys might possibly have a chance at maybe having romantic attraction to each other" and then lmao the series finale. Queerbaiting is not "two characters have many deeply and romantically charged scenes and one where one of the characters explicitly asks the other if they like the same gender and have that be implicitly positively answered in a follow up scene, but they don't take an entire episode to gently caress on screen".

Korra showing two women holding hands and looking at each other framed in the exact same way the big romantic climax of the previous show on a loving kids show was loving huge. If that was shown today and treated as big it would be derided as cowardly, and you know what, they'd be right! We're past the point of implying a romantic relationship only by handholding. This was also only seven years ago. Reducing queer creators' efforts to get queer rep on their shows by fighting tooth and nail and risking their livelihoods just so they can get a single kiss at the end of the series as "not enough" is deeply insulting, and yes, I feel speaks from an entitled viewpoint.

I can't speak at all for Arcane because I haven't watched it or if any of the production crew are queer, but from what I've seen and read of it how Caitlyn and Vi are depicted would have been unthinkable not even half a decade ago. I could be wrong, I don't know.

I don't really know what my point is.

its still funny to me that people tried to frame the sister being a lesbian as a twist. if you watch the trailer its like, x files tapes, riot grrl, and a diary entry talking about this cool girl she just met. of course she is a lesbian, lmao. way to advertise you got no gaydar.

i been watching The Circle (US) which is a competition reality show where each contestant is isolated in their own apartment and can only interact with each other through the show's fake social media thingie. I mention it because part of the show is having catfishes where contestants setup fake profiles (like one dude is using his girlfriend's photos lol) and there is a butch lesbian who is catfishing as someone femme presenting its just something cool to see on a reality show.

Probably the most likable cast I seen in these types of shows, outside of maybe The Genius. And while the show clowns on everybody its in this sorta endearing "these dorks" way. And on top of that like, so much of the cast is LGBT. This is like the most flirting I ever seen women do with other women on a Survivor/Big Brother type of program.

Anyway, with no context
