Only capitalism could turn unlimited free electricity into a problem.

The fact that Good Omens S2 was SO QUEER.

Not Just Maggie and Nina (and Lindsey)

Not just Aziraphale and Crowley

Not even just Gabriel and Beelzebub (who is NB)

But the magician shopkeeper and his trans/NB spouse who wore a fancy early 19th century dress to the ball.

Job's son who was flirting with Aziraphale (hilariously played by Ty Tennant giving Michael Sheen heart eyes in front of his dad lmao)

Even the tough macho man in Scotland that Aziraphale borrows the phone from - using it for "Grindr".

Plus of course Michael, Uriel, Muriel, and Dagon also all being non binary/gender queer characters.

With all this, there was no homophobia, no one batted an eyelid at any characters sexualities, sexuality wasn't even brought up, characters just are who they are and like who they like. Its a non issue in the GO universe.

AKA my favourite type of queer representation. The same type found in The Sandman (show not comic).

And whilst there was plenty of drama and not everyone gets a happy queer ending (YET) there was no queer trauma to be seen. No hate crimes, no "bury your gays", no stupid discussions about how HARD it is to be out of the closet in a bigoted world, because the GO world isn't bigoted.

Its SUCH a BREATH OF FRESH AIR.

I know we have similar experiences in The Sandman, In OFMD, and even in WWDITS, but each time a new show takes this very new approach towards queer representation I feel like I'm once again sinking into a comforting hug from someone I love, who loves me back.

Its just really fucking wonderful to see. I hope we keep seeing it more and more often.

It should also be mentioned that while sidelining Din in his own show is of course aggravating and awful, please also be aware of the erasure of Boba Fett and Temuera Morrison’s influence on Mandalorian culture. Ever since Dave Filoni stepped into star wars he has done pretty much everything he could to erase any traces of Temuera’s impact regarding mando culture.

Mandalorian culture was built from the ground up based on Temuera’s casting as Jango, his identity, and Polynesian inspiration. Even if it wasn’t always well executed at all. The fact that it was based around him and his culture matters and should’ve been elaborated upon to be better, not erased. Tem is super vocal about how particular he is about the roles he chooses and how he tries to inject his own culture into each of his characters.

People like to cite that it wasn’t DAVE’S choice to state that the Fetts weren’t mando in clone wars. But he did not have to thoroughly purge Mandalorian culture of any Polynesian influence and remake it into a blonde white colonial kingdom. In Mando Season 3 Bo-Katan’s history and the History of Mandalore was rewritten so she could be reframed as an innocent princess… at the cost of erasing Boba Fett’s identity and his heritage of Jango and Jaster as protecting rulers of Mandalore.

The total lack of care towards Boba’s character is most obvious in The Book of Boba Fett, where he was given the same sidelining treatment + ridiculous meaningless hijinks that Din is currently experiencing. Tem’s influence is even being removed from the CLONES, sidelining their importance and agency just to uplift and center around the white clones that look and sound nothing like Tem.
