The darkside here is (gay) men's underlying misogyny and trying to gaykeeping a queer show as "not queer enough", just because women are also enjoying it. What the **** is "women stay in their lane!". Do you even hear yourself? Some catty gay actors wanna make catty statements on the success of the show. And they got backlashes for it. Like if we wanna talk about vapid gay representation, Jordan's shows are even worse case, where he plays his real personality of an unlikable, obnoxious gay man in both English Teacher and I Love LA. If that's your preferred gay representation, then sure, **** it and keep it.

Because the way people constantly dismiss other queer people's works on this show, in order to paint a factually false narrative about it being "made by straight people". The creator, director, writer of the show Jacob Tierney is an open gay man. The book author is a queer woman with a bi husband, whom she consulted a lot with in order to write this bi/gay romance. And other actors on the show like Francois Arnaud is also openly queer and dating a man. Not to mention the trans actor and real life hockey trailblazer Harrison Browne in the last episode. And countless other queer people behind the scene that made this happen. To call it a "straight people" show is so dismissive of all their work, especially because of the way you guys are obsessed about the 2 main actors' sexuality. And FYI, behind every single successful queer media, women are the main driver of those successes. Drag Race, HR, etc. you name it. Without them, we won't even have any gay or queer show on TV. Straight men for ******* sure don't watch them.

**** off. Bad Bunny deserves the gig 100%. Stat wise, he's the best performing male artist at the moment.

ATRLers being dumb on AIs is frankly not surprising. The only way to effectively recognize and counter AIs and bots on the Internet is with AIs, because the amounts of data they duplicate and twist have extended human's processing power. Doubt any of OTHs could even pass the Turing test. But you guys are all too dumb to even know what it is anyway.

Thank you for clearly demonstrating and putting in words what it is: grievances politics and frustrations being spilled over to pop culture stan wars. Like, how exactly does being mad at this help Palestinians? You all just look for an mere excuse to pile on a popstar, rather than keeping the politicians who are directly responsible for the genocide accountable.

Arguments about the word "Israel" being a mere mention on a tour documentary, is this your definition of activism against the genocide? The fact that some of you are so performative that you can't see how stupidly and unseriously you all are acting is concerning.

the dancers were literally cheering that "we're millionaires" in the docu lol

The foaming at the mouths out of a passing mention of "Israel"... This is performative activism to such absurdly embarrassing level. No amount of regurgitating "it's INTENTIONAL" could make some of you look less weird.

This is a tv show, not hardcore gay porn, dear. And yes, it is illegally for the creator to ask the actors if they are gay or not before casting them. If they do a great job portraying the gay characters, then just leave the actors do their ******* job! You guys are so ******* weird and entitled about someone else's sex life.

Document everything (threats, inappropriate interactions,etc. And then email them to yourself so you have time stamp proofs). Your receipts would protect you (learnt it from Taylor after 2016). Secondly, because of the way the system was set up by your professor(s), then you clearly are exploiting/playing the system the way it could be intended. Ultimately, it's on your professor to decide. At least, you should be straight forward with your plan to the professor. So they can arrange some things to avoid more problems with the current conflict. Because frankly, it would create more headaches and problem for them to deal with if things keep escalating.

It's frankly nothing news. The gay community is just obsessed with famous people's sexuality status since forever. We had Perez Hilton outed so many gay actors against their own wills during the 2000s, to Shawn Mendes and Kit Connor got hounded till they mentally broke under pressures. It has always been weird and invasive.

Okay, so let's ignore Jonathan Bailey's entire blockbuster career then. Going back to Heated Rivalry, you do know that Canada has law that forbid director or producer to ask about actor's sexuality before casting, in order to prevent discrimination, right?

Saying this while the current biggest movie is Wicked, with 2 openly queer actors in the main roles playing straight love interest to each other

This is so stupid to think Jacob's response was "insanely defensive", especially after what happened to Kit Connor. I actually think it's absolutely appropriate for him to come ahead to protect the 2 main actors from being hounded about their sexuality. The problem is not if they are gay or not, it's still a consent thing. Plus, it was literally illegal for him to ask if the actors are gay or not before he cast them.

Reading through this thread, you all act like insufferable mini Perez Hiltons who think they are entitled to people's sexuality. Is it really that hard to respect a person's choice whether they want to disclose it or not? As if what happened to Kit Connor or Shawn Mendes was not problematic enough.
