Why do people keep saying this bechdel test stuff and talks know it’s not true. Some of the most popular shows like keeping up with the Kardashians or a lot of the real housewives shows are like completely all women and are far more successful shows than heated rivalry Women are out there and they are already successful. If you don’t like successful shows women make for women than that’s just your own cynicism
Maybe it’s that you’re expecting a wlw story that holds too many male romantic archetypes. You also gotta consider that wlw shows probably have the smallest potential fan base because I don’t think gay men and especially straight women have a lot of interest in an all female romance movie or show
Idk if blaming it on something vague like society is truly the best thing. Maybe it’s just that most people of their own individual tastes and preferences of what the find interesting to watch and many of them just find other things interesting. I get what you’re saying but I think it’s more a chicken and the egg problem
You’re swapping the cause for the effect. I think that it’s just simply too much of the population simply can identify with the dynamics of a wlw drama. I don’t think a wlw cast and plot dynamics would be successful in getting the same emotional investment that a mlm drama. Often times gay men and straight women find male characters attractive and women love doing self insert in romance (see why 50 shades of gray worked lol) . It’s just very few people can get invested emotionally
Idk what to tell you my dawg. Straight women like what straight women like and the entertainment industry values their opinion the most because they are the best spending customers. If straight women don’t find it interesting no company is just gonna take the risk of investing millions in making a show that won’t be profitable
