Shows for the gays, in that they're full of queer characters and that's just their default and the story they feel like telling, and I wish that would've been normal growing up but it wasn't so I'm fucking real happy it is now (but mostly for Me because everyone's tastes vary and there's many shows for us that are probs not my thing or your thing etc). It's just like... I genuinely remember when I grew up, if you wanted anything with even one main gay character you pretty much had to watch the gay channel, a specific cable channel, and then rhe big shows were romance life focused which isn't my personal cup of tea or romance movies and like. You were thankful you even got ahold of them. Then gradually a single 1-2 queer characters cropped up in some sci fi shows, and a handful of high drama life type shows. And now? Now if I just want a fun comedic show or supernatural show or just More Genres of things? At least there's some options with queer characters, more than there certainly used to be.

Comedy vampires: what we do in the shadows

Comedy pirates: our flag means death

High drama vampires: interview with the vampire

High drama pirates: black sails

#rant #and like? if we scale back to Only 1-2 queer characters?#star trek strange new worlds! which id like to watch! ds9 had dax as the last pansexual lets GO.#the expanse i hear has polyamory. i know the killjoys is pretty queer. legends of tomorrow i hear is pretty queer if you like superheroes.#theres stuff like shameless which is sort of the Real setting high drama shows that #added characters first (also skins. degrassi. pretty little liars)#and like. god its NICE. its nice i can choose to simply Not watch shit that doesnt have queer people #sure i can watch a show without us. but its a choice. its not a requirement. my options are no longer #Genre i like OR queer characters. now both together is a common option #LUCIFER gave plenty of queer characters and in many ways succeeded with more women and more diversity in a way #shows before it like Supernatural did not as much.
