I don't think anyone's obligated to even try watching black sails but there is a certain genre of person who specifically hates and derides it for having lesbians and for having lesbian sex scenes or just ignores them because they're not gay enough I guess and recently this has been no more clear than in these stupid arguments where ofmd fans break their backs trying to claim that their gay show is better because their two guys kiss while completely ignoring the three canon lesbians/bi women in black sails even when they manage to acknowledge that the protag of bs is also a gay man and also kisses another man onscreen

#and does a waayyyyy better job of it ugh that kiss scene rends my heart #im using gay n lesbian loosely ik eleanor is bi and I THINK flint is gay but it's not stated explicitly etc. etc #there's literally like two women in ofmd but that doesn't matter I guess because all the men are soooo well-developed and likeable #(they are in fact. neither. certainly not all of them)#and all the posts praising ofmd for having non-conventionally attractive men or fat men presented as desirable (which WAS neat) completely #ignore women for it? all those posts felt off to me idk #anyway ofmd fans who obsess over the men and are fine with women playing a bit part/ignore the women in bs #piss me off.#imo this is relatively minor compared to the racism and antiblackness that's already been discussed but it does piss me off #im not saying the first season of any sitcom has to be a feminist masterpiece im just saying stop ignoring women and wlw #to claim that your show has more representation points #cor.txt
