I looked up the creator of the show/comic and was thoroughly unsurprised to find that it's a woman who identifies as "aromantic asexual" and uses she/they pronouns. If she doesn't like boys or romance or sex, why did she create a story about gay boys falling in love!?

Its similar to Becky Albertelli coming out as bi to avoid being accused of "cishet women writing about gay men" even though being a bi woman is not any different than being a straight women and writing gays. But in the brainrot the cult experiences, being part of the cult is enough to be its priests. Call this a hot take, but i do not believe in aromantic asexuals and sort. I believe that we all have sexual orientations, regardless of having sex or not. I'm rather judgin her as I do the yaoi addicts, but with a different outcome. She rejects sex with the heterosexual men, whom she is attracted to, but also despise. Hence she can project her fantasies about heterosexual men to gay men. Romance is not something you can make the crux point of your book, without actually experiencing it.

As I said, I stopped watching the show after five minutes, so I don't actually know what happens. But I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that it presents a totally neutered version of homosexuality where the gays are more like cutesy puppy dogs than actual human beings.

I have no issue with this, when gay people write it. Glee in season two was amazing and lighthearted. I was 15 when i first watched it and always dreamed of a boyfriend like Blaine (which i got!). Growing up in a wildly homophobic country, Klaine was my hopes and dreams for the future. [And i'm forever angry to Ryan Murphy for bullying Chris Colfer!] So even though I despise the cult for their indoctrination of gay youth with their ideology, i'd rather want them to watch Heartstopper instead of Euphoria. Thats the thing, gay kids need to see cutesy stories. I hate this on the other hand. It leads to gays being treated like puppy dogs, as you said. There exists a generation of heterosexual young adults who have no idea how gay people work, except what they've seen on TV.

Y'know, the sort of thing a straight girl would write because she has literally no idea what it means to be gay or a man. If you've seen it, tell me if I'm wrong.

You're right. Remember when gendies bullied Malulani Moreno, a pacific-islander gay men for some gendie crap they pulled and got his book retracted? There is a reason why gay men are not writing romance books anymore.

I'm so tired...

Its always okay to take some time off, and focus on things you enjoy. This is not a blizzard, this is a long winter. As diva Gloria Gaynor said, we will survive.
