#HeatedRivalry creator Jacob Tierney on why women love the show:
"Women love these books. These are books written by a woman. These are books largely consumed by women. So I wouldn’t want to speak on behalf of a female audience, but I think that what women are presented in romance is not always something that interests them in that way. I think that women are also, in real life and in culture, endlessly exposed to sexual violence. Seeing things like this, that are depictions ultimately of male vulnerability, can be very refreshing. From what I’ve heard, from the women who have written to me and Rachel and the boys, there’s a safety in seeing a woman being removed from the conversation. So you’re watching something happen between two men, and there is no fear of violence. There is no fear of things turning into stuff that women have to deal with too much in real life, and don’t want to deal with in their fantasies, and ultimately, this is a romantic fantasy. I think it’s also that maybe romance — which is a genre that women love and write and read and are the primary consumers of — just doesn’t get treated with a lot of respect. Nor do the people that make it, or those that adapt it either. So I think that they are responding to, at least I hope, the fact that we came to it pretty fullhearted, and as fans and as people who want to honor this material and want to honor the genre and make it as romantic as we can. That’s certainly what I wanted to do."

ive learned after getting ebv that people (me included) genuinely need to care more about transmitting illnesses to one another.. a lot of people cant afford healthcare. Anyone can get permanently disabled from covid/flu. masking up is the absolute least u could do
that and masking when coughing/sneezing or when generally sick.. no one is exempt for long covid and u getting covid/flu 5 times just makes u more likely to be chronically ill..
i feel like the only purpose of having male friends or having a boyfriend is to ragebait them and perform dubiously ethical psychological experiments on them
