not a picture of jacob elordi that hasn't crossed my desk

okay maybe going a little 2 far with this take. but like. the obsession with the sexuality of the heated rivalry actors is reminding me of the rant i went on during the summer about how we have all started doing the work of the surveillance state for it under the guise of moral justice. the example i used then was the coldplay ceo cheating scandal, and how, regardless of the rightness or wrongness of their actions, people's desire to hold these strangers morally accountable for their personal choices in their personal lives felt sinister 2 me. and i feel the same with people digging into the personal lives of hudson williams and connor storrie. like. what exactly do you think you're achieving by attempting to publicize who their romantic partners are? i understand the justification is queer representation, and while i think that argument is pretty weak and i just am never convinced that sexuality needs to be disclosed in professional settings, or that knowing their sexuality would in anyway alter the representation provided by the show written, directed and produced by an openly gay man, i also think if that's really what you care about you would just say it and leave it at that. like you would just say "i wish openly gay actors played gay roles" you wouldn't go "i have a right to know about the personal lives of Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie because they play gay characters and therefore I am going to make it my mission to expose as much about them as possible because i am holding them morally accountable for ... stealing the jobs of gay actors???" like ok senator McCarthy goddamn. it's just crazy to me that we are so excited to refuse ourselves the privilege of a private life or personal choices. everything everyone does must be seen by the collective as morally correct and if you attempt to hide anything from our all seeing eyes we will tear you apart. and like I KNOW im being dramatic. but yall r freaking me out 4 real. tl;dr - no one is paying u to be the sexuality police, leave those boys BE.

rlly fascinating phenomenon to me is when a character is extremely popular, and that popularity seems understandable enough because they've got something interesting going on, and then you look at the fandom and realize 99% of their fans don't actually care about engaging with any of the things that make them interesting and instead seem to be fans of an imaginary milquetoast version that exists solely for ship and/or angst content and is so far removed from the canon character they might as well be an unrelated OC at this point

watching the straight hockey show 😒

the funny thing about this is that it's giving reverse harem, like it's just a bunch of unproblematic shirtless frat boys and they are all kind of set up to be a possible love interest
