I thought they might go the route of the non-lesbian being a bisexual woman.

I thought it was Mel once she started speaking, and mainly considered Isabelle only at the beginning and then she fell off my radar.

That damn Master Doc. Mel still gives me vibes of non-lesbian who thinks she’s a lesbian because of the Master Doc. She said very little of substance that indicates she was into women. She went right to the Happiest Season, which just came out and mostly dodged the question of her favorite lesbian movie. She seemed very performative and into “queerness” and gender performance and was leading an LGBT org, which she was doing even if she wasn’t out as a lesbian until 6 months ago. So her complete non-answer to the negative experiences question was also notable.

I was least suspicious of Madeline. She struck me as gay immediately. While Anandita did seem a little rehearsed, I really had no issue thinking of her as a lesbian. Rachel was annoying af. Her performativeness was suspect but lesbians like her obv exist.

I was dismayed at all the non-binary/queer nonsense and the irony of trying to prove you’re a lesbian while saying you have a non-binary partner, but one of my closest friends is a “non-binary lesbian,” so sadly this is a thing. I guess I’m relieved they didn’t add pronoun fuckery to this, and what do you know? Everyone assumed she/her for everyone else.

I doubted Mel, Rachel, and Isabelle. I still don't believe any of them haha. This was really painful to watch, because of all the "queer theory" and the "masterdoc" references. Madeline (I think it was?) was like "I don't need to read a doc to know I'm lesbian lol" and I was like yeah checks out.

This video is horrible lesbian representation. Also the whole video idea seems kinda questionable imo... like I don't know why everyone doubted Anandita the whole time, others were WAY more suspicious, and those were literally her experiences lol.

Once I honed in on Mel I kind of just stayed there because everything from her was increasingly suspect, and I got similar vibes from Rachel. To prove they were lesbians they both focused on LGBT performativeness and nothing at all about their personal lives, their experience as a lesbian specifically, or even touching on their attraction to women. Mel saying that she came out as a lesbian in her room 6 months before based on reading a document during quarantine and lacking in any real world experience with anything, yet still already having been president of her LGBT society, and then saying that she literally changed her entire appearance since then is pure cringe art, and peak Gen Z LGBT cringe (again, sorry you’re stuck among these people).

I agree they and this video are horrible representation for lesbians and make us look like a joke. “I can prove I’m gay; look at all my books on Queer Theory” makes me think of straight teenage girls using their yaoi porn obsession to prove to themselves and others that they’re actually gay boys/men. The fact that these self-styled lesbian ladies think that should be proof is exactly the problem.

I mostly can’t even remember anything Isabelle said other than saying that her band was in the Happiest Season, which to me did not make her more likely to be a lesbian.
