white wlw just as much stories centered around them as white mlm and are also celebrated by striaght audiences. Carol, atypical, orange is the new black, booksmart, etc etc… so like the argument can be made for white wlw too. White lgbt stories are always favored :/ first kill would have probably been adored if they were two white women.

yes, there’s definitely an aspect of racism to the hate on and cancellation of first kill for sure, i agree! my only question is…. what straight people watched orange is the new black? 💀

#carol is a bit iffy too LMAO but tbh i couldn’t even finish that one it bored me so much sorry idk what straight ppl loved that either #atypical was not a wlw show though also 💀 casey was one of the main characters but certainly not The main one? and fivel isn’t white LMAO #booksmart i will agree is a good example bc i do feel that was more widely popular #now oitnb…. bestie there’s straight up lesbian sex in every episode LMAO no actually straight person watched that #and though the main couple is white i’d say at least half the cast wasn’t? and i haven’t seen the whole thing so i couldn’t tell u how they #handled race and especially its intersection with the prison system #ALSO ALSO #first kill IS adored. and yeah it likely would’ve been adored more if they were both white but it still wouldn’t be enough #same way it wouldn’t be enough if juliette was a white man instead #it’s a combination of racism and lesbophobia that got it cancelled but removing one of those from the equation still wouldn’t have saved it #like see everything sucks! or teenage bounty hunters they both had white wlw couples both cancelled after one season #AND shows with main interracial straight couples still get cancelled too #i get where ur coming from anon but it’s simply not true that even white wlw shows/movies are given the same opportunities and love that #white mlm shows/movies do!!!#first kill #asks #anonymous
