(Anonymous) 2023-11-11 02:25 am (UTC)(link)I think it depends on what kind of media they were watching before. Unless they were actively seeking out queer media, OFMD might be the most mainstream recent example of it they've seen since Will and Grace or Brokeback Mountain. And OFMD does have something those old examples don't: Gay main characters who actually get to have a romance and live to the end.
I definitely seek out queer media, because het stuff bores the shit out of me, even if almost all queer media has no representation for me either. My friend, however, watches lots of straight romances. She doesn't seek out queer media, so she thought OFMD was a fun pirate comedy and the kiss at the end of S1 seemed amazing to her. She knew I was into queer media, so she gushed about it to me. I didn't have the heart to tell her that all the foreign shows I've been rec'ing to her that she's ignored have, like, full on queer romance and sex. She's also tried rec'ing The Last of Us tv show to me because of the one episode of queer romance. She's a little confused, but she got the spirit.
