i loved it and this show has been fun so far but as always some of stan twitter is threatening to make this less fun. like they need to chill outtt about calling billy ~that twink, it’s like they want to say a slur so bad 😒 like the stans mad bc [Spoiler (click to open)]he isnt looking for wanda at the end of the road, as if he doesn’t think she’s already dead, as if wanda wouldn’t want her boys to prioritize reuniting, as if twins aren’t written to have a cosmic connection, as if billy is supposed to know what wanda was up to in MoM (i thought it was p clear he barely has any memories as a maximoff??) and then there are the agatha/rio stans that think he should’ve stayed dead bc they think he’s taking away screentime and focus from their ship(??) ugh im sorry for the rant but the amount of hit tweets im reading that are just unapologetically homophobic is 🥴🥴🥴
Yeah twink is just a stand in for another slur. Also, I say this as respectfully as possible because I’m also a queer woman and genuinely am craving the lesbian representation, but while Kathryn is incredible and I don’t really care about a straight actor playing a queer role, it is genuinely kind of fucked how badly some fans are shitting on an out gay teenager playing a gay role for “getting the first kiss in the show” because the “real rep” they want is from a (to my knowledge) straight actress? (I know Aubrey is bi so not including her in that.) Not trying to oversimplify it because I do get how minimal WLW rep is and also find it so frustrating, but a lot of the tweets I see pitting MLM rep against WLW rep completely ignore how cool this is for Joe and how cool it is that we will (very likely) get BOTH in the show. Also because Rio and Agatha are clearly kissing at some point; Billy’s was just first because he’s in a sweet uncomplicated teen relationship while they’re embittered exes
yaaa you hit a lot of it dead on. also it’s just bizarre and disheartening to see them lash out at joe and billy when *if* they do get baited and don’t get payoff for agathario that’s entirely a disney issue?? wtf does joe have anything to do with it. like, stan culture is a disease. a lot of them are saying outright hateful or harmful things under the guise of defending their faves and for what?? bring back shame tbh
I just always hate to see minorities pitted against one another too tbh. Fully agree that it’s fucked if Rio and Agatha don’t get some consummation (I don’t think they’re getting back together and don’t think it would make narrative sense but think a kiss is likely), but acting like marvel of all properties has a track record of treating gay men well is insane. Go after the fact that there was a senseless Black Widow/Hulk subplot at some point instead, idk
Crazy how they demand lgbt representation and then hate on the lgbt representation they get, we all know rio and agatha will get more but the show doesn’t only center on the two
