Sigh

Being born was the start of all my problems. I wish I could go back in time to convince my "parents" to become hermits in the mountains. They'd be too busy communing with nature to meet up or have kids

It takes maturity to abstain from something that’s everywhere you look. I give virgin adults a round of applause for their self-control

The mechanics of baby-making are well-known. Knowing the details of how babies are made and brought into the world only heightens my discomfort and distaste for the "straight" lifestyle

Women aren't a monolith, they have varying beliefs on what constitutes "empowerment." They might believe that the hypersexualization of women or the obsession with "sex" is disempowering for women

"Sex" isn't a measure of maturity and a middle-aged, virgin woman isn't less of an adult. Resisting the societal pressure to engage in "sexual" activity is true adulthood, the kind that comes from knowing oneself and staying true to one's values

Hating "sex" is a preference

We don't need a front-row seat to the baby-making process to know it happens. People should keep those "straight" fetishes tucked away behind closed doors

"Sex" isn't a need, it's a want. And wants can be unhealthy, especially when they pressure someone else to satisfy them

I'm living proof that one can survive without "sex." If other people's libidos are driving them crazy, there's always medication to tame that beast

It's not misogynistic. If it were a female actor with the same level of talent, I'd be singing her praises as loudly

The backflips and cartwheels people do to excuse homophobia could give a Cirque du Soleil performer a run for their money. They're ignoring censorship and that's their choice, but we choose to exercise our right to call it out and express our outrage in the comments. That shouldn't be a problem

Comments sections aren't a positivity echo chamber where only praise is allowed. They're a place for all voices, happy or unhappy

A little bit of gay romance on TV can turn the world upside down, I'm saying this as a gay woman

Why did the producers remove something small? They figured it would drop a glitter bomb on homophobes and change something. They didn't want to risk it and be that change

"And it's not like two women could really be out as a couple in the 50s"

Gay people and couples existed in the 50s. Society pretended they didn't exist because they didn't fit into societal norms

History is full of hidden stories, it's up to us to explore them. If we can cook up stories about wizards, mermaids and time-traveling toasters, we can include gay romance in a historical setting

We're not changing the course of history or rewriting the Declaration of Independence in drag, we're uncovering a treasure trove of hidden emotions, socially forbidden desires and whispered confessions. We're acknowledging a part of history that's erased and celebrating the courage of those who dared to love their same sex despite the odds

"... this is not the right drama for GL"

Every drama is the right drama for some GL

"I would like it if it had two women in love"

You claim to want a GL romance, then immediately dismiss the possibility. Make up your mind, lady!

The loss of the girl-girl romance is a real shame

I do agree with your point on the gender-swap dress-up. Women playing male characters onstage doesn't signal some personal identity struggle. We can debate the believability of the performance (men playing male roles or women playing female roles is a more authentic, believable performance, as the performer can draw on their own experiences and perspectives to bring depth to the character), but we can't assume they're trans and doubting their womanhood

We're sparking conversations and building awareness among viewers. Change in the entertainment industry begins with reshaping audience attitudes and habits. For example, through conscious withdrawal of viewership or financial support, we viewers can communicate that the removal of gay romances is an objectionable practice

Every complaint we make is a seed. You never know when they'll sprout into something bigger

If nothing else, we're providing free entertainment for those reading the comments. You're welcome

If you're going to keep complaining about us complaining, go back to watching black-and-white TV. Why are you holding the rest of our TVs hostage?

Change doesn't come from playing it safe. It comes from challenging the status quo

We should give viewers—young and old—the chance to see and embrace love in different colors. Besides, some older people might surprise you and be cool with gay dramas/movies. We can't underestimate them

Fantasy elements aren't my cup of potion, it's not weird for me to have reservations about the "best couples" you mentioned. Edward and Bella? More like Edward and Jailbait

Fiction is open to analysis and critique. I'm not treating problematic fictional "relationships" as real. If I were, I would be sending Bella to therapy for her daddy issues, reporting Edward for grooming and starting a petition to get Superman to attend a workplace harassment seminar for "dating" his colleague

What am I doing? I'm discussing the content of fiction and pointing out the ridiculousness of it. A non-human is said to have the hots for a human, I’m going to ask questions

We'll stop obsessing over GL/BL once TV stops obsessing over "straightness" and treating gay love like Voldemort (He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named-On-TV)

Your plan would send a strong message that we won't stand for censorship, all while giving this female-centered drama the attention and recognition it deserves. I'm on board with it. It's the perfect balance of protest and promotion

Nam Joo Hyuk brought his A-game to "Vigilante." He scowled, he thirsted for justice, and he looked good doing it. Danger suits him

His chemistry with Lee Joon Hyuk was nothing short of explosive. I half expected the screen to melt every time they shared a scene

I'm not convinced that "romance" alone is the right path to take. It's a popular genre, but it's not the be-all and end-all of successful content. Disney+ has a track record of thriving in the thriller and mystery genres, and injecting a hint of "romance" into those genres could be the sweet spot for boosting viewership and subscribers, as seen with "Moving"

My condolences for your hurt "straight" feelings. It must be difficult for you to live in a society where one tiny comment on the internet is the biggest problem you face. Here's a tissue for your tears 🧻
