You just said everything I wanted to say. So, cool. Have a star and a heartfelt elbow nudge with accompanying nod.

Seriously, its getting annoying to be honest. Two men, who are just friends, platatonically enjoying their company isn’t queer-baiting its friendship. Something just as important to men as it is to women.

Do people realize how harmful it is to read sex into every friendly relationship? Fanfic is mostly fun and innocent but stuff like this that attempts to read this into everything as if it’s important is really bad. It’s really, really important to have queer characters! It’s ALSO really, really important to have…

This, it gets tiring that two male characters cant be close without everyone saying they need to be in a relationship.  It gets old.

I would certainly buy Bucky as gay or bisexual man if they choose to go that way. But the scenes referenced in this article for he and Sam were not even close to queerbaiting as I read it.

1000% agree. Dudes can be very close friends, without there being a sexual elements to it. That needs to be normalized. Instead we constantly get articles like, pining for “shipping” them.

Literally any piece of art showing male friendship:

Yeah I’m in the same book. I’d love for us to reach a point where male characters being close and intimate to each other wouldn’t be divided solely into either ‘queer’ or ‘queer-baiting’ because that’s still playing into societal toxic masculinity that straight men couldn’t possibly be close and intimate with their…

Man, this is a weird article. While I certainly never thought of Bucky and Steve together and the only dates or romantic interests we’ve ever seen him have were women, I would certainly buy Bucky as gay or bisexual man if they choose to go that way. But the scenes referenced in this article for he and Sam were not…

It really feels like if you remove all of the racist stuff from Wrestling you’re going to cut out like 80-90% of everything involving non-white characters from the era before the Rock got huge (and like 30-50% thereafter, the Rock didn’t save us from Cryme Tyme.)

One of my two dogs makes a massive production of it, though only for dogs.

I’m ahead of the curve. I have two dogs that never fail to let me know about dogs outside. And cats. And birds. And elderly women. And that neighbor who slipped last month and is using crutches...

Oh man, David the Gnome. That finale was BRUTAL

I want Pete & Pete! GIVE ME PETE & PETE!

Tune into “The Boys”!

The sacrifices we make for love.

Well you got almost an entire season farther along than I did. I think I might have watched two episodes into season 2 before I went life’s too short to waste it on this show.

Yeah exactly, like when it premiered I thought of it as “let’s finally see what happened while Rick was in his coma in the first episode”. Honestly if they had made it a tightly focused miniseries, maybe 13 episodes at most and then done, I think it would have been a lot better.

I liked the first half or so of the first season when the zombie threat had just started, but it pretty quickly became the same as the mainline TWD series but with other characters. Like I wanted a different perspective, a different premise. I’m honestly surprised it’s still on, but I haven’t seen the last few seasons…

I don’t think you’re wrong at all there, to be honest.
