It's been interesting to see the response to Good Omens' representation (or lack thereof, whichever way you want to view it) vs. Grindeldore. The latter is more explicitly portrayed IMO, but the former is held up as a greater example of representation, which is kind of confusing to me.

[(Anonymous)]

How do you think Grindledore is explicitly portrayed? What do you mean by "explicit"

[(Anonymous)]

I mean that I don't see any way to interpret the portrayal outside of them having a romantic relationship.

[(Anonymous)]

How do you explain Fantastic Beasts 2?

[(Anonymous)]

I think possibly an important difference here is that Gaiman was fairly upfront and specific about what was going on and how it was going to be portrayed, and then the fans are responding to it in a certain way on their own. Whereas Rowling went out and said Dumbledore was super gay, and then the follow-up was a bit of a wet fart.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't seen the Fantastic Beasts movies or followed that fandom, but I feel like this is accurate.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, this. It might not have been so bad if Rowling hadn't made a big deal about Dumbledore being gay and gotten fan expectations stirred up for real representation.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, and Rowling stans making excuses about how Dumbledore was really super-great representation.

Lol what? How is Grindledore explicit in FB2?
