All the rage about Albus and Scorpius not actually being gay for each other and MUH REPRESENTATION!

Like, did we read the same play? Because they were totally gay for each other in the play I read.

I definitely can see why people would be a little miffed it wasn't actually a verbally spoken 'hey maybe we're not straight' thing, but it was clear enough.

I thought one of them was in love with rose or something? that's what I've seen a bunch of pissed off people on tumblr talking about anyway

I'm not angry about it but I don't count them as explicitly gay. Subtext just doesn't do it for me anymore.

You call that subtext? Seriously? They couldn't keep their hands off each other!

I grew up the most oblivious person in the world. My rule is that if I wouldn't have seen it while I was in denial then it doesn't count.

It felt like pretty deliberate "the kids these days love when the guys are friends right on the edge of gay but not quite!"

Yeah but when it's two men (or two women), then that's important context.

Oh, it's soooo important!!

It's a silly play. From one queer to another, get over it.

I'm not saying it's Crucial. I'm saying there's a difference b/w gay and straight couples when it comes to UST vs. romance, because gay representation is so lacking.

I don't even think they read as queer.

You know what I think would have been dumb?

Two 14-year-old boys both knowing and admitting, without a shadow of a doubt, that they're gay.

But yeah, OK, representation at all costs.

All I was pointing out was the contextual difference between straight and gay couples

Would you please chill
