118. Torchwood?! You've got to be kidding me. If any show fetishizes gay relationships it's that one.

129. Fuck shaving, bb! Wear your bush proudly because you're awesome!

142. She is stunning. One of the most goegeous ladies in Hollywood.

168. They're both blowhards, to be sure. I can't stand either one of them.

Thank you!

The fact that it fetishizes gay relationships is part of why I haven't bothered to watch it. Seems like most of the fans love the butttsex more than the show itself. This is coming from someone who ships everything. :(

Edited 2009-02-23 22:28 (UTC)

A whole lot of THIS.

Don't let the fans scare you off. There are a *lot* of fanbrats in the Torchwood fandom, but there quite a few extremely talented fans as well.

+1!

I agree on this. If this is a well-written gay relationship then I'm a buzzard's chuff. This show took the character of Jack and raped it of all its essence. Bleh.

That's crazy talk. The fact that there's some ZOMGGAY fanservice necessarily means the show is PERFECT and RESPECTFUL and PERFECT when it comes to the OMGGAY.

You blasphemer.

... I'm sorry but that manip? It's bad. Ianto seems to have lost both a portion of his shoulders and his neck. ::shivers::

Every time I hear anybody say anything like this, I am inclined to believe that they haven't actually watched any significant portion of the damn show.

Forgive me, but I don't see how having an established gay relationship that is treated exactly the same as the het relationships on the show is fetishizing a damn thing. If you're complaining about the fanservice, then you've got a double standard, because the show does the same thing with het. If you're complaining about everyone's apparently loose orientations, you've got a somewhat more legitimate complaint, except for the fact that a point has been made to give every character's encounters appropriate weight and depth, regardless of whether they're f/f, m/f or m/m.

Torchwood has lots of sex in it. Forgive me for being somewhat fucking relieved to have a show that doesn't care so much about what genders are involved in said sex.

This!

I know. But the original poster is trying to say Torchwood somehow treats gay relationships differently than most yaoi. I would argue that's a bad example to use if we're talking depth here.

I think the show fetishizes both the straight and gay relationships on it. *shrug* Doesn't make my point any less true.

every character's encounters appropriate weight and depth

I'd disagree with that actually, but that's more of a personal opinion thing.

It's... sex? How do you fetishize sex? It's already, er, sexy.

Well, I said relationships, not sex, but that was probably a bad way to word it anyway.

I just mean Torchwood is a show that writes relationships in a shallow way. Uses sex to sell, doesn't treat them with much depth. Which is fine, I suppose. A lot of shows do that, and Torchwood is at least entertaining at the same time.

I admit that this is just my personal opinion. So I hope I don't get rabid Torchwood fans yelling at me for it. That's just how I feel.

The show doesn't explore the relationships much on screen, sure. I wouldn't actually like the show as much if it did--I'm watching people shoot aliens, I'm not really looking for a soap opera.

So yeah, the relationships aren't addressed so much. The characters are, though, which is how I prefer it handled for a show like Torchwood. The characters are very developed; when you're told that a relationship exists between two of them, then, well, that's where the fans fill in the rest.

I haven't watched TW since season one, was that pic a manip? Or real? *is clueless* I do like Jack/Ianto though I lean towards dark and angsty...

seriously
the acting is horrible
queer as folk pwns it

I don't want to watch Queer as Folk any more than I want to watch The L Word. Soap operas bore me.

i don't really consider that a soap opera.XD

Not in the more unflattering definitions of the genre, no, but it's still centered around the everyday, commonly experienced drama of it's characters. It's not the kind of show I'm interested in.
