Yeah. It's played out.

Even Baywatch got this right, ffs!

Paraphrased from memory:

"CPR is not kissing. You'll have to do it on a three hundred pound truck driver or a two year old child."

Lol. Just watched Five Feet Apart and the movie seems to disagree with this.

I just see the director yelling at the actor, "C'mon, CPR has to be HOTTER!"

I forgive it in that scene in Doctor Who with Jack, because Jack... plus I don't think Martha got as far as chest compressions.

Nothing's sexier than a cracked sternum.

I've cringed at this ever since I did a first aid crash course and was informed that if I ever had to give CPR, I'd have to be prepared to break their ribs in the process.

I guess I'm confused. Do you mean - they make it look like kissing? Or do you mean they consider having done CPR as akin to having kissed the person?

Sounds like the former to me. I haven't seen Promare, but I know people have been all over the CPR scene which lasts...some good seconds. Totally not fanservice.

Weird, okay. Did not know that was even a thing.

Have seen Promare here, and there's no CPR scene. It's more of a sci-fi Sleeping Beauty or Snow White situation. The kiss has a purpose other than being a kiss, but it is still a kiss and nothing like performing CPR.

It’s performed as CPR. Galo delivers the Promare back into Lio through his airway. Much closer to CPR than a kiss, and neither treats it as a kiss (which is refreshing, since so many shows have the giver sputter “I-I-I did it to save your life!!” no-homoly.)

Eh, Promare's scene isn't actually CPR though, not in the normal sense (without going too into it, it's more of a 'reigniting inner fire' moment, and it's definitely staged as an intentionally intimate moment).

I read it as the latter fwiw

Huh. Considering how gross CPR is in general (when done to actually save a life).... Wow.

Sounds like the former to me, too.

I know back in The Day, Chris Carter was quoted as saying that the idea in the first X-Files movie was that there'd been the intention for a kiss, which got interrupted, and then later there was CPR, where their mouths actually meet, so in his mind they'd kind of kissed?

I...have a lot of complicated thoughts about that. I like it, hate it, find it stupid and also smart, find it deeply problematic but also compelling...you name it.

But yeah, it's definitely A Thing in plenty of (het) media.

*latter, I meant to say it sounds like the latter.

I guess it's a concept i'm not remotely familiar with. Creepy is right.

Never saw Honey, I Shrunk The Kids?

Absolutely not.

Yeah, as a kid I was more interested in the second-hand kissing through sharing drinks than I was with CPR as kissing. Neither mean anything, but I was more excited about the fake subtext than the throwing up in someones mouth thing.
(admittedly I am still mad at Free! for not going all the way with that CPR scene even though it was my NoTP and it was clearly played as a kiss.)

Stares aggressively at OUaT.

I'm not a big fan of when media does it, but if the media does in fact treat CPR as kissing, I'm not going to get upset at the fandom for rolling with it. If it's intended to be shipping fuel in canon, it's silly to be annoyed with fandom for treating it as it was meant to be treated.

I love it when it’s treated as a life-saving moment of intimacy, and my major fandom did that. Saving a life, waking up to the person hovered worriedly over you, sharing literal breath? Oh yessss.

For those who know how to do CPR, it is so, so, SO not kissing. D:
