❌ “friends don’t look at friends like that” devalues friendship/platonic forms of love, pushes amatonormativity
❌ “historians will call them friends” devalues historians and forces complex relationships into modern simplicities, also devalues friendship/platonic forms of love
✅ “do they know its legal now” suggests the characters are stupid, poorly suggests that this is the only barrier to their relationship—both of which are funny as hell
