My straighter friends are sometimes like "Rem u should watch this show, it has a lesbian characters in it" about shows they like, but when they talk about it to each other they're never like "wow I love how gay it is" they're like "wow I love seeing my favorite League of Legends characters fighting on thr Netflix", so the "watch because gay" thing ends up feeling a bit, idk, tokenizing?
Yeah, that's pretty awkward lol. It should really be "you should watch this show because it's good, it even has lesbians!"
I love my gay shit, but I guess it comes off as less genuine if that's clearly not what the person recommending it likes about it
Yeah, that does sound weird towards you. But if the show in question is Arcane, it actually is worth a watch particularly for the women on it, even though it's not that much of a gay show. A friend on my RPG discord actually mentioned how much she likes the show for having so many tough girls in leading roles. She's a bit of an asskicker herself and loves when media features strong warrior women that can fold you in half, and Arcane does have a lot of these, including an incredibly cute lesbian couple. The romance is mostly off screen (like all romance on the show, so it doesn't feel too much like "bury your gays"), but there are a few heartwarming scenes in between all the action where the two of them have really good chemistry. Also the butchy one is to die for (even tho butchy here just means short hair, rough attitude and tats, but that's already more than most other shows would do for butch representation).
The other one's a cop, tho :trans-sad:
