This secret is bizarre to me because the characters in season 3 are shown to agree with you - that Mike and El shouldn't be moving so fast, that Mike is controlling and too immature for the relationship, that the relationship is unhealthy. So... congrats on getting the point the writers were clearly trying to get across? That was one of the big strengths of season 3, in fact, that El developed a healthy friendship and was shown to be more independent and less concerned with Mike.

As for the making out, it was brief, and I thought it was presented in a (realistically) cringey way. In fact, it was all so OTT and ridiculous that I can't imagine the actors being uncomfortable with it, and it certainly didn't seem to be sexualizing them.

I watch this show but have avoided the fandom because, man, people bend over backwards to be scandalized by the teen characters doing what teenagers do.

These were pretty much my thoughts on this secret too.

It reminds me of Arya in GoT and people getting real weird about seeing her get with that Gendry dude. Except she was an adult at that point, so people's reactions were even weirder. Kids don't stay kids forever, they grow up, they explore their sexuality, they make out and have sex. Like, I get not necessarily wanting to watch it, but the "we watched them grow up" reasoning will always and forever be fucking weird to me. Yes. You did. And now they're appropriately old enough to engage in more than hand-holding. Get over it? Stop mentally picturing them as babies? idek
