Are their some people who are kinda...fed up?
I like Netflix. A lot. And their originals, but lately they're been making me extremely uncomfortable with all the gay things they put into their 2018 and up shows. This usually wouldn't be a problem IF I didn't only watch shows that young children would watch. Thinking about it that way makes it much more uncomfortable for me. As of recently, i was generally fine with it as i was there for the story. However, with the 5 season of one of my favorite shows, She-ra and the princesses of power, it gave me the feeling that Netflix no longer has the intention of pushing out straight relationships anymore. Firstly, there are officially 3 homosexual relationships in the show, along with a genderless character. There are 2 straight relationships, however there wasn't a lot of clarity whether the characters were actually in a relationship. They did say 'I love you', but that word was overly used over the course of the season, mainly between friends. Unlike the gay relationships, there wasn't any kissing or loving looks. 2 of my favorite characters were one of the straight relationships who weren't given any of the kisses and such the gay relationships did. Which is kinda disappointing as a straight person, because i was hoping for the kiss between them the most. Along with the 2nd straight couple, because there wasn't even any confirmation the female liked the male back. And honestly i still haven't found out whether they're in a relationship now. I've told a couple of people about this, but they're gay and they say Netflix is doing it to represent the gay community. But with the release of that season, i feel like Netflix needs to take a chill-pill back with all the gay representation. Im sure im not the only person that feels uncomfortable with all the gay things major companies are constantly pushing out onto the minds of children. However, i have no one to talk to since it seems like nowadays every person is simply okay with this. So i want to talk to people who actually understand me. And if you don't, thats okay.
Why do you think you feel unconfortable with the idea of children seeing homesexual couples kissing? Or seeing them yourself? Heterosexual kisses in children's shows are common (even when the woman is unconscious) and you said you would like to see they happening in She-ra. Shows with no homosexual characters at all are still a majority, you are fr...... 2 reply
So, what I'm getting by your hot take is that you think by putting gay relationships in the forefront and hetero relationships "behind curtains" is somehow gonna make heterosexuals oppressed in the future? Is that what you're saying? Really?
You think that by putting more LGBTQ+ representation the future generation will turn gayer? Look Miss Cooch...... 6 reply
Hello, OP. I've read your question and most of the comments here. I'd like to tell you a little bit of my story.
I'm 26 now, and I came out as gay 12 years ago when I was in middle school (before a lot of things changed including marriage equality in the US).
Ever since I was a child, I would always fall in love with male characters I saw on TV. ...... 4 reply

the problem with that way of thinking is a lot of children don't learn what being gay is until much later in life. I didn't know it was possible for two people of the same sex to like eachother until I was 13 and within a couple years I was openly identifying as a lesbian because I was able to recognise my feelings as something beyond friendship.

Wow now you kinda know how we feel ! But no Netflix isn’t overdoing gay representation at all. If anything there’s still not enough that accurately portrays the amount of LGBT+ people are in the world. Maybe your inner circle is hetero and cisgender but there’s a lot of us out there. And pushing homosexuality into the minds of children? Have ...... 3 reply
Unlike you, I don't feel like shows are shoving down gay relationships down my throat. But these shows help people normalize gay relationships. LGBTQ+ people just want equality and to be viewed as the norm. But kid shows that have gay relationships help kids realize their own sexuality but also helps kids understand LGBTQ+. There is nothing wrong w...... 2 reply
You're getting a lot of hate because here's what you did. Imagine suddenly shouting your complaints about overexposed homosexual representations in a public place. Of course you are bound to offend someone. You can't just say something offensive where anyone can see and still expect people won't hate you and only those who understand you will talk ...... 2 reply
