heartstopper gets so much hate only bc it's a queer media that's not extremely controversial, super angsty or hyper-sexualized. like gay people aren't allowed to just be happy or have struggles wuth things outside of their queerness
“i'm only happy when i'm with you”
“i don't think that's how it should be”
yet another important lesson for the young audience right there, love is great but it can't be your only source of happiness, you need to be your own person outside of a relationship
