definitely not normal

Yall need to calm the f down, no one is attacking Heartstopper, we're just calling out the double standards when it comes to queer rep 🙄 You can't possibly be oblivious to what is happening with the constant cancellations of female-led lesbian shows. No one's saying that gay men don't face problems (every queer person does just by existing) but u have to acknowledge that especially when it comes to representation, young, white(or white passing), conventionally attractive gay men always get more opportunities while other LGBTQ identities suffer in silence. Lesbians are still seen as 'dirty' and lesser than, aces and aros are barely recognized as members of the LGBTQ community (let alone worthy of on screen representation) & we'd be here all day if we started talking about trans & non binary issues. So this is not an attack on your favorite series and i am sorry if it feels that way. It's pointing out the lesbophobia, misoginy and even racism of the entire industry (maybe even of some fans), not just Netflix. So it would be nice if, instead of arguing, people supported these shows as they do others. Then maybe you can actually show that you care about 'all' queer rep, not just a selective part of it.
