publikcitizen Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 So glad to have this show right now. Today was a stressful day combined with the sad news of the mass shooting in Texas so it’s nice to have this show to kind of make me feel better.

blaggot Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 got my best friend to start watching this finally and he’s stanning the discourse around kit not publicly labeling his sexuality is very annoying and I somehow knew things would go that way as soon as I saw that interview. I hope he stays offline so he doesn’t have to read the bullshit comments from those miserable ******* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we never saw his fem side from the show. Even if he’s really a fem gay, so what? And why some ppl were so obsessed with this masc/fem thing and had this ideology that if you are not masc enough then you’re fem. I’m muting that user. I really love how positive and full of love this thread before so I refused to let someone ruin that for me with this masc/fem thing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s 18 years old and still clearly figuring himself out, yet people are attacking him and trying to force himself into a box he’s not sure he fits into. It’s gross.

I think Kit seems pretty resilient based on a recent interview where he talked about it. I think the Heartstopper cast being close in age gives them a good sense of camaraderie and support network. Hopefully they know to ignore the trolls on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Jacobs Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Not me thinking it will have a mini cute love victor moment but it ended up being 100 times better. Me finishing it in 4 hours realizing I'll wait a year for the next season. Either they will extend the episodes to about an hour or raise the episodes count.

SpaceMan Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 So I caped and watched until ep3 the way the bottom boy grooms and push the cute straight boy (who look like taylor bf btw) over the edge is kinda not the tea, I mean we all want to date someone who is much more attractive but the way the gay one always initiate physical contact yike The homosexual teacher and the girl kind of slay the most tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gui Blackout Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I still wish they had done some promo in the US. Getting Kit and Joe on a couple talk/morning shows, some more digital content... Hopefully Netflix will step it up for S2, honestly the word of mouth from fans on social media is what carried the promotion of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the world did Charlie groom Nick? Nick was very attracted to Charlie at the beginning even though he didn’t know what those feelings meant until he was able to figure out what they mean to him and was able to understand his sexuality better.

mystery Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) I am pretty sure the comics will reach the ending before the show so we definitely don't need to be worried about a Game of Thrones type situation where the show ends first. Even if it does, Alice is writing it so it is all the same. Edited May 26, 2022 by mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLastChord Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I've finished reading all of the comics available, and I have to say this whole story is incredibly cute and sweet, while also managing to touch on very mature subjects like ED. I have to say that if I, a gay in my late 20s, find this really cute and relatable, I can't even imagine what a show like this means to teen gays. At times, the show can seem a bit too silly for me, but then I have to remind myself that I'm not the target audience. In any case, can't wait for more comics and for further seasons of the show. Sidenotes. Leave the actor who plays Nick alone, he's an 18 year old, nobody owes ANYONE any kind of public announcement of their sexuality, it's NOT okay. Gays shouldn't box themselves into this masc/fem bs, personality isn't a binary that is strictly related to your sexuality. Have you all been outside and like met people?

I don't know, in the 1st kiss scene Charlie really initiated the physical contact and ask Harry to kiss him it really irk me And the next day when Nick left Charlie run after him and give him a kiss in the middle of the street even though just 5 mins ago Nick asked to be discreet That's one thirsty bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
