I'm queer and the way unfulfilled homoeroticism in fiction is vilified now is soooo boring

Yeah fr. Everything is labeled 'queerbaiting' nowadays, like personally I love me some homoeroticism over explicitly , it adds layers

Killing Eve died when the writers gave in to the fans crying about 'queerbaiting' and made Villanelle and Eve 100% lesbian, one of the coolest parts of the show for me was how complex and imbalanced the two characters' sexualities were. S2 was alright but I gave up after S3E1.

Killing Eve died when Phoebe Waller Bridge was no longer the head writer

It was still ok under Emerald Fennell - Not as amazing as PWB, but I still thought it was good TV. Everything after s2 was absolute ass

Gotta disagree, not a huge fan but the books actually ended with Eve and Villanelle happily in a relationship. I'm still unsure why the show deviated from the source material as it was really touching. Killing Eve is one of the few shows where I agree with the queerbating angle (speaking as a bisexual woman).

I’m totally with you. I like some veiled homoerotic tension, it’s when movies put it in to avoid controversy by having explicitly queer characters that it bugs me. The monk and his beefy boy in Rogue One being an example of the bad kind. Disney sucks for this.

The kids don’t understand how difficult it is to get gay content in TV and major films.

Typical "woke" morons who think they can bully an out, homosexual cinematic genius into molding his show to an artistically dead propaganda vehicle. Go back to shipping Batwoman!
