Attitudes to Queer Love media | EP. 7


Listen Later

Your hosts, Mya and Sama, are back with another yap session, and this time…we might get cancelled (fingers crossed not). In this episode, we unpack the attitudes towards Queer Love (QL) media that we’ve witnessed and experienced ourselves, from both outside and within fan communities. From blatant homophobia to subtle fetishisation, we’re diving into some uncomfortable but necessary conversations.Why was P’Jojo criticised over the supposed “late” release of Girl Rules, and what does that reaction reveal about internalised homophobia within our own community? Why are some fans so obsessed with “positions” in fictional pairings, forcing our beloved switch couple PorTeeteePor to becomeTeeteePor? And why do openly queer actors so often feel pressured to repeatedly prove their queerness because their own “fans” don’t believe them?As always, but especially with this episode, all opinions expressed are our own. We welcome respectful discussion and would love to hear your thoughts.
