Call me homophobic, but I don't actually think it's great representation to stick a complex, dynamic, newly-realized bisexual character permanently with a flat, boring, underdeveloped love interest just because that was the first guy who showed interest.

#in my hater era #like what you like #but goddamn #the argument that this is somehow outstanding queer representation is baffling #they have had 13 episodes to DO something with this character and they have chosen not to #no development anywhere #even though they literally brought him back so there is built-in background ripe for the picking #and yet #anti bucktommy #anti tommy kinard #the saddest part is #i don't even hate him #he's not important enough to hate #there is just absolutely nothing to him #and that's sad because whether or not he was intended to be long-term or endgame #the writers are better than this and the character SHOULD have SOME development #like why are we all swooning over 911 shoehorning in a returning character to tell a bi buck story #but treating that character like the most expendable love interest in history #i don't like him but actually i think queer characters #and especially ones who are part of such a major later-in-life bisexual realization storyline for a beloved main #deserve a little more respect than what 911 has been giving him #anyway #might delete later i don't know #also i need to stop looking at the 911 subreddit #worst takes i've ever seen that place is a cesspool
