Yeah, some shows are definitely overdoing it. Like Sandman, that showed both gay intimacy and lesbian intimacy in the first few episodes, whereas heterosexual intimacy was not shown at all, just that two people met and then years flash by and there suddenly was a baby a while after so you have to infer that there was indeed intimacy.

Last season of Star Trek Discovery, you have the main characters (both black) who are a couple. Beyond them there is a gay couple, a starting relationship between two of different species, a nonbinary+nonbinary/boy(?) couple, a man who is willing to risk destroying earth to be with his male friend, and that's the end of (romantic) relationships.

It's as if white heterosexuality just can't be shown. Ridiculous.

Sandman was ridiculous because it just straight out swapped straight relationships with gay and didn't even consider there would be different dynamics involved so the relationship made zero sense. They did put a little dig against the woke author in there as well though.

Ooh what was the dig? I'm not watching it.
