    How much of that slop kills off one of the gays so the other gay can has a sad so the straights don't have to see ongoing gay relationships between living gays? :spongebob-party: :anprim-pat:

      Too many, but I look it up to see if I have the bandwidth to watch whatever I'm interested in.

      It's been quite a decade. I still remember going to see the Imitation Game in a town 70 minutes away since it wasn't showing in my town. I left the theater so mad.

      Nowadays, I can stream Heartstopper and turn off my brain.

      And every now and then, you get something like Our Flag Means Death where everyone is something LGBTQ and actually interesting. (Like how are you gonna make 5 Pirates of the Caribbean movies and not have a single gay pirate?)

        Heartstopper is so cute. My husband and I watched it in one day a few weeks ago. The way our relationship started was a lot like how the one in heartstopper did, except in our 20s and in a red state.

      The number of Harry Potter apologists who excused the Fantastic Beasts movies' lack of gay content. I've become the unfun one because I point out the laziness, insincerity, and disdain JK expressed towards people like me.

      And I'm just annoyed they left good writing on the table. A wizard's ex turned evil. In a time where LGBTQ spaces were incredibly limiting. In a setting where you're already hiding parts of yourself. And they're going to not mention that at all? And instead they're going to shoehorn in a heterosexual relationship with a character who would've been better off written as ace or too invested in his work to maintain a relationship.

      But yeah, I totally believe Dumbledore was written as gay from the start
