@cece_304 @cfuchstv Great job Cecilia! I really enjoyed reading your thread. Queer Arab films and filmmakers deserve more acknowledgement and praise for their works thank you for highlighting some, i'm excited to watch the films you mentioned.

@DouglasXaviJ Great job Xavier! I think you make some really great points. I feel like this conversation could almost be extended into the action genre at times, just a repeat intense focus on special effects while everything else is essentially ignored.

@MaynardMar25163 @cfuchstv Great job Mariah! I had heard a lot about wandavision in the past but I never sat down and watched it, it is really interesting to learn how sitcoms played a part in the show!

@NWGMU @cfuchstv Great thread Nataly! The way Brittany is treated is very strange. I think it is interesting how you brought up Taylor Swift as I have seen the way Brittany is being treated almost reflected in the way I have seen football fans speak about Taylor.

@oliviaghhh I think the moment w Allie in the first episode is very much an example of girls seeing each other as "competition." Then, as the series progresses, that competition doesn't even matter anymore yet it manifests in a different way in the wilderness nonetheless. #304F23

@oliviaghhh As a YJ fan, I loved reading your thread! I had always noticed the theme of girlhood present within the show but I had never made the connection btwn the way the girls resort to cannibalism to survive in the wilderness reflecting that of girls seeing each other as competition

We need more, better lesbian representation and we need to start by representing the underrepresented and straying away from harmful stereotypes and tropes that often plague lesbian media.

We have begun to do that and it is a great start but we have to keep it up.

[alissa @restisc0nfetti]

There is a lack of lesbian representation in media. Specifically, a lack of diverse and accurate representation. There needs to be more of it to combat the underrepresentation & inaccurate portrayals that doom lesbians to awful tropes & harmful stereotypes. @cfuchstv #304F23

[alissa @restisc0nfetti]

Some of the ways I have seen lesbian representation advancing is with the stories I see being told. We are beginning to see more diverse stories that extend beyond just the romance genre. Such as Bottoms(a comedy) & fear street (horror) which both include Black lesbian MCs.

Happy (late) international lesbian day!

Representation like this is so important! the word "lesbian" is often erased in media, never used in films and tv shows that display a lesbian character. Lesbian is not a dirty word !!!

happy international lesbian day!!!
