#or like lane pryce was just so gay shaped but they were like. nope it's a black exotic dancer actually

mad men is top 5 shows of all time but it's also simultaneously true that they fumbled a big share of plotlines and character arcs. like the show is Good but also soooo many things are not what they should've been, it's hilarious. like how can you be wrong but still good so much. i for one cannot believe that they didn't have a gay guy hit on don or don sleep with some guy. there were so many possibilities with his gay+homophobic+ally slay

Admittedly, a very funny part of Mad Men is that all the gay characters have absolutely horrible taste in their office crushes. Sal you’re gonna pine over a lighter from Just Ken? Bob Benson is gonna risk his career and possibly life by hitting on PETE CAMPBELL?!? Truly the work of a straight male showrunner. Except for Ginsberg who was like “Peggy I’m gonna level with you I’m having a mental breakdown and also I think I want to fuck early-70s peak sexy Stan may I PLEASE have a panic attack on your couch”. That one has taste and also really speaks to the community experience
