unironically yes. LGBTQ has expanded immensly,

up wards of 60% of gen z LGBT people, ID as BI or other.

tons of people who in previous years we would have simply called straight, now identify in some variety of Q+

which is cool for them, but when we talk about representation, we usually are talking about gay or lesbian or trans characters.
a show with a character who felt feelings for a girl in high school but now exclusively dates men

no one is going to be like "wow great representation"

60 percent? The most ive seen is 20 percent.

 

[deusavertat]

all im saying it feels like people are looking for backlash, when really you should just take the W.

Great episode of TV, most people like it.
the people who are mad are pretty small percentage of weirdos and grifters.


and the market will continue to deliver diverse shows because that's what audiences demand.

I work in Film and TV, trust me.
no one is listening or cares about rando conservatives get mad about on twitter.

but people are HIGHLY attuned to having diverse casts, because they know if they don't
the market will **** on them.

I wouldnt dismiss them as rando conservatives or small percentage of grifters when states like Florida exist. And politicians like Desantis are proposing bills limiting minority studies. If Trump has taught us one thing these people are not simply existing in the fringes. They are out there and they vote.

politics is different question, im just talking about tv creators and the audience for TV.

Leave it to NT to turn discussing this great show into a political topic, smh

 

[deusavertat]

A Majority of LGBTQ people in general are bisexual, this is not surprising. Millenials are more conservative than Gen z, its the natural "progression" of things. We are becoming the boomers

I didnt want this to happen but it was inevitable. To be fair its not just NT, people never disappoint.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

If they gave bill and frank that kinda attention in 1 episode, Ellie and Dina gonna be magic next season

 

[Nike Jordan]

Nobody is forcing anyone to watch the show.

 

[krazy88s]

[Fozz]

I tried continuing my play on TLOU Remastered. Felt dizzy five minutes in lmao

 

[Nike Jordan]

Nick Offerman wasn't supposed to actually say the line "Not today, you New World Order jackboot ****s".

Druckmann had it in the script as a thought for Bill during the scene.

But Offerman liked it enough that he was going to use it as a line.

I wonder if they’ll continue with the theme of killing off a character every episode

Seems like they’re following a formula of having someone give an exceptional performance cameo and then killing them off

I thoroughly enjoyed nico Parker in ep 1, torv in ep 2 and then offerman and Barrett in ep 3

 

[spiderjericho]

I’m still on episode 1

I got a hug for Joel.

 

[shogun]

bill's house was like a mini mansion. They also had electricity and hot water for 20 years. They were living better than some people do now.

I love how they put the “don’t tread on me” flag in his crib lol

And then all the USA and guns stuff

Made the reveal into his love story even better since it was the last thing to expect

 

[spiderjericho]

I guess he preserved the truck and had all that gas he saved. But I was wondering how he was producing the electricity and clean water.

I think there were probably more than one attack on their compound. I think they showed that scene to show how Bill had changed and how the most important thing in his life was Frank. It’s crazy the lengths we will go for someone or something we love.

Even the ending made sense.

Hit all the MAGA people with the goteeeem when he ended up being gay.

Reading spoilers is about as safe as bussin in the yambs raw

Natural gas reserves, I think?

Generator for the power?

They were probably like, "This is my type of character!" when they saw his bunker. But the moment he started playing the piano "What in the hail!"
