I want to speak directly to the queer audience here today—especially the young ones.

THIS WAS NOT YOUR FAULT.

You saw it correctly. You read the subtext right. The feelings you had along the way were real and important. What you felt was by design—a calculated narrative strategy to make people like us feel included and seen.

Do not give anyone the power to belittle your experience, to convince you otherwise, to change your mind, or to make you feel wrong. Trust your perception. That ache of recognition was yours, and it was valid.

They borrowed your hope to sell a product. Now, take that hope back. Use it to find stories that deserve you, to create your own, and to connect with a community that sees you without games. Your insight isn't a flaw; it's your strength. Don't let them weaponize it against you.

You were never "delusional." You were targeted. And now, you are free.

You heard it here folks! If you're in love with someone who you have a very deep and personal bond with, just get over it! They're straight so they'd never love you anyway!

I keep seeing people bring up how even if it’s insulting and bland and the finale totally erased Vickie’s existence and role in Robin’s life, at least Will gets an epilogue boyfriend.

But he doesn’t.

Just like El maybe being alive, that was all a figment of Mike’s imagination. He gave each one of his friends an optimistic future in his little ending monologue but none of that actually happened yet for any of them. So he told a story about Will moving away, finding a dark, fluffy haired guy at a bar and moving on.

People saying “we didn’t even get to hear his name!” and “they didn’t kiss!” because It’s all in Mike’s head, the man isn’t real! That’s why we get nothing!

Will gets a concept of a plan for a happy ending, and Mike sobs at he stares at their binders on the basement shelves before resolving himself to a life of reliving the trauma he went through and not ever actually moving past it.

Wow, such a good ending.

“What did you think, really? That we were never gonna get (girl)friends? That we were just gonna sit in my basement and play games for the rest of our lives?“

Yeah Mike,
