take me back to places i feel loved in

i got a lot to say to you yeah, i got a lot to say i noticed your eyes are always glued to me keeping them here and it makes no sense at all they taped over your mouth scribbled out the truth with their lies your little spies

You ended up answering your own question in there, funnily enough. I'm guessing you didn't mean to? 🤨 Who's gonna watch Hudson's projects? His fans. And who is his fanbase largely made up of at the moment? Women. Women who "stan" and defend a common citizen like they know her personally because they wanna be her. (I mean, anyone who's been around since early in the year has heard the stories about fans finding her place of work and booking appointments to get that one degree of separation...) He has to look attainable to the female audience so they can continue their self-insert fantasies. But if he has hopes of being known for something bigger than The Gay Hockey Show, he also has to present himself in a way that makes him a *believable* choice regardless of his filmography. If he's simply "Hudson from Heated Rivalry" for the next five years, it limits the roles he will be considered for because he never got to showcase his range. If you don't believe me, take it from Mr. Jonathan Bailey: "I was well aware [of] the possibilities and the limits of queer actors and what that means to an audience and whether that bleeds into commerce and how that affects it," Bailey told John, per The Hollywood Reporter. "I think when I was in my early 20s, there was definitely an understanding that, to be gay would be a hindrance." Mind you: - Jonathan is white. Automatic privilege unlocked. - Jonathan was out when he started Bridgerton and his career skyrocketed, but he was also half of a het romance and thus appealing to the intended audience.
