Looking at Heartstopper, Red White and Royal Blue and lastly Young Royals… did anyone notice that the protagonist couples are almost exact duplicates of each other? In looks I mean.
Two exceptions are that Alex doesn’t necessarily have a curly ‘fro like the other two do and Henry has blond hair as opposed to red(ish). (Likely bc they’re on Amazon. 🤷♀️ Otherwise Henry would have the same darker hair as the others and Alex’s hair would be way more curly if Netflix got them)
Is this apparently the only way one can depict a same sex couple these days? 🤔

Kit Connor deserved so much better from the fucking morons on the internet that claim to be fans.
If this isn't a lesson learned then hear it once and for all: real people do not queerbait. No one owes you their fucking sexuality or relationship status. EVER.
A young man was basically harassed into coming out publicly. You all should be ashamed.

ppl who only conditionally care about child abuse based on whether the victim makes them uncomfy while they're being abused contribute to a real life child's abuse by sending hate asks regularly, attempting to gaslight them, calling them terrible names, accusing them of terrible things, telling them directly how much they hate the characters the child relates to and enjoys talking about, and being generally racist and ableist in a way that seriously might have scarred me for life, making a literal teenager hate their hobbies, favorite shows, and the people who enjoy those things, and ultimately cyberbullying a child out of multiple fandoms because they don't want to think critically or acknowledge their own faults, all while being 35 and really embarrassing themselves because someone half their age has a better grasp on the concept of nuance than them: more at 6
but noooo, y'all "love neurodivergent/disabled people," have "racists/ableists DNI" in your bios, and don't say slurs, which is all you have to do to not be racist/ableist, so *I'm* some psycho black bitch and you're a wittle angel like the fictional character you infantilize
(P.S. I swear to fucking god if people respond to this post with "but he sexually assaulted someone" and ignore literally every other personality trait/experience he had that could've been relatable to a child abuse survivor and the way people mistreated me, a real human being, which Charlie is not by the way, I will start doing the things you wanted to do to Ben)

What the hell happened in the Heartstopper fandom in season 1 that made people so much more protective of the feelings of fictional character Charlie Spring than they are of actual human Kit Connor?
I mean, I know what happened, but it’s still unfortunate. I really don’t think a lot of people consider Kit’s feelings at all unless it’s about his sexuality. I’m sure he has a thick skin. He’s been in the business a long time. But just two years ago he was still covering his mouth when he smiled because he was self conscious about his teeth. I don’t think it’s a stretch to think people acting like he died because he got a haircut (for a role!) might make him feel bad.
But if anyone tries to say this, it’s “baby-ing” him. But if one person has a bad take about Charlie, there’s basically a hashtag campaign about how Charlie deserves better. And he does, but maybe the same amount of empathy for a real person would be nice.
