Lesbianism is a spectrum...
On one side is Shauna Shipman copying Jackie when she's alive, cheating with her boyfriend, wearing her clothes & doing everything to emulate her only to then physically consume her when she's dead because it is the only way in which she can actually have a part of Jackie still with her. She desires so much to be with Jackie that she literally wants them to be one being, one body. Her cannibalism is a coping mechanism for survival as much as it is a rejection of traditional human societal standards.
On the other side is Carol Sturka, who literally spends multiple episodes protecting, preserving, burying and defending the grave of her wife Helen. All within a world that now determines cannibalism as a logical, normalized practice and Carol as emotionally illogical for refusing the Hive mind which practices it and their so-called 'universal love'. Her refusal to let Helen be eaten and her refusal to join the Hive even though they are the last piece of Helen's mind that exists is because that would be a rejection of her and Helen's individual human decision to love each other outside of what humanity deems to be 'normal' or 'logical'.
'Cannibalism and lesbians' really is a crazy trope... anyways watch Pluribus guys.
