#idk. thoughts i'm having reading ppl say rwrb was too corny or hallmark-y

i really am hopeful that soon we get to a place with lgbtq media where we don't have to compare all mlm and wlw content to each other as a way to judge whether something is good or not. sometimes a piece of media is not bad, it's just not your cup of tea and that's okay! i personally love horror and romcoms, so i love what we do in the shadow and i love rwrb, but those two things really have nothing in common aside from the queer element so it's not fair to lump them together. the same goes for lumping wwdits in with ofmd and good omens, the same goes for lumping rwrb with heartstopper. they're different pieces of media and some people will like them all, others will like some and others might not like any of them and that's okay! in the last ten years we have made a lot of strides in terms of queer rep in television, film and literature that i think sometimes people get stuck in the idea that they HAVE to watch smth because it has gay people in it and they don't die etc and while to a degree that's true still, every year i see more and more art that is catered to different tastes within the MASSIVE AUDIENCE that is the lgbtq community and i think that's wonderful.
