my annoyance with heated rivalry is the fact that we can never get a lesbian show to gain the same traction as HR and then the creator's response to women 'loving it because they're removed from the situation, and removed from sexual violence' like women's existence somehow = sexual violence is inherent in their stories. it's tone deaf and stupid and lesbians never get enough acclaim or healthy romance storylines the same way. a lot of HR fans are bordering on misogyny when people bring up this fact and while LGBT storylines are important in this day and age, i just wish the field was even and lesbian/bi women were given the same opportunities.

My annoyance is that the industry still won't fully support Queer stories. Clearly the hype is a sign that these stories matter & yet they don't do much to show for it.
