Another wlw show bites the dust

I really hate it here…

networks will make a show but not advertise it at all and then cancel it despite great reviews from both critics and the audience. nearly all of these shows feature predominantly female characters, women of color, and wlw. what a coincidence

straight men are dunking the review score of A League of Their Own as if the show didn’t have some perfectly fine straight white men such as:

that guy at the train station who politely pretended he had not seen Carson’s bra which could not have been more visible if she’d tried

the guy Greta went on a date with who, aside from the fact he unwittingly asked out a lesbian, seemed like a completely fine man, polite and pleasant to chat with

that’s more than us lesbians get on most shows :)

I swear so many critics of queer media are full of brain rot, because they’ll watch a new queer series and invent an alternate universe where we have a rich body of queer media from which to judge tropes in these series as “tired” or “overdone” or “cheesy.” We don’t “earn” good queer media by constantly belittling new works for not being a tortured artistic exploration of queerness in an unforgiving society. Queer media is allowed to have tropes that are relatable, and tropes aren’t inherently bad. Queer media is allowed to expand to different genres. Queer media is allowed to be idealistic and cheesy, and it is especially allowed to be campy. If it doesn’t directly and actively harm queer people by reinforcing negative stereotypes and promoting violence towards us then it’s not “overdone.” You just don’t like it. 🙄
