Everyone’s so quick to call women who watched heated rivalry a fetishizer but where’s that energy towards Larry fans or other weird shippers

it’s not that fucking deep just watch what u want. it’s not ur business what other ppl wanna watch unless it damages society (pedo stuff for ex)

Exactly! Personally, as a bisexual woman, I felt that the story was very important for representation. It shows the two dudes in a masculine industry learning how to be vulnerable and communicate with each other. It is spicy, I won't deny that, but the show has more substance to it than some may assume.

anyone who thinks heated rivalry is abt sex is the one who cant see gay ppl as anything more than an object

it’s not about just watching it, it’s about being ATTRACTED to it. if you’re not a gay man, you should not be getting hot and bothered over them. shipping is a different story.

I just don’t think every woman fanning out over the show is automatically a fetishizer like people are claiming. There’s outright fetishizing but there’s also just a lot of women appreciating the show

OP 3w

yeah I think lots of women like it bc it’s a good dynamic and it’s inherently impossible for gross sexist themes to appear since they’re both men

f we’re following your logic YOU’RE not allowed to watch Iron Man, Merlin, Sherlock Holmes, Tangled, Cinderella and more because you’re not straight. It only becomes weird when someone takes the show as an excuse to treat real life gay people like their entertainment. you’re weird as hell for gatekeeping a whole tv show.

i’m a gay trans guy and i completely disagree. yes being obnoxious and a weirdo and pushing your attraction to it onto real people (gay men or the actors in hr) is loser behavior and fetishization, but there’s is no denying that the characters’ dynamic is hot and intriguing to many people, queer or straight. plus speaking from experience, media like this is how a LOT of people realize they aren’t straight or cis.

i’m not saying you can’t watch it, i’m saying it’s weird for women to make comments like “put me between them” or saying they want to join a gay relationship. also, straight people are not a minority.

notice how i said “once you push it onto real people then it’s weird”? you are allowed to be attracted to something regardless of your identity or sexuality, that’s what things like romance novels (ex. the book series the show is based off of) are made for. but yes once you start projecting it onto real people then it’s not cool. that goes for any relationship in fiction, straight or queer.

it’s also a big reason why i mostly only talk to other queer people about hr cos i know i’m not getting the same thing out of it as a straight woman is, and that’s ok.

interesting and yet people are attracted to or have an addiction to actual porn but that’s not an issue? people r upset cause they’re gay and that’s what makes this homophobic.

as a woman i am getting hot and bothered over it because i am attracted to men so two very handsome men getting freaky on my screen is gonna make me feral. this gotta be the worst take and ratio ive ever seen pal

With both of them promoting now there are sort of whispers again but I just thought it was the most famous example of fetishizing real people by shipping them, which is so different from the craze amongst straight women for hr!
