hair in my soup

Just a random thought of the day.

Like everyone else I enjoy my homoeroticism in my TV shows and movies, and recently it has reached some very high level of teasing in many many fandoms.

I see reblogs on my dash, Sherlock, Merlin, AGOS, or House, to so many others and suddenly I’m angry.

I’m angry because none. of. them. will cross that line.

It is now acceptable to play with homoeroticism, without thinking of the bigger pictures which is: this can go no further.
I’m not saying all of them should go “there”, and I’m sure many would agree that we don’t need, or we don’t want more in some cases. But at the end of the day, something pretty twisted happens, which is that it’s ok to suggest romantic homoerotic feelings in a mysterious way, but anyone crossing the lines of actually making these characters obviously gay will go into a very not-acceptable place.

It’s like homoeroticism is becoming a joke, a trope, or just some kind of humor to throw in people’s face. As if it’s it’s not serious, as if none of those characters could really be gay.

There is a lack of challenge in terms of characters writing, a lack of boldness, a lack of motherfuckin balls, because again that’s what it’s all about, so very few people out there are willing to build up the tension and keep. going.

I’ve said it before, and I’m gonna say it again, I don’t see enough gay guys in my media. I’m talking average TV shows or films, that show great guys characters who fall for each other, without some crazy fuss. Of course you can find them here and there, and if you start looking at LGTB oriented media, well yes, you will find them. But I want to go to the cinema and sometimes see the homoeroticism being more than just a joke or a gimmick. I want it to happen. I want them to kiss, and fuck, and succeed or mess up, I want them like any other couples.
