3) Merlin had ho yay in subtext, not the characters actually talking about being married, flirting, being in love and such, albeit jokingly. In contemporary stuff, even if characters do that, they always seem to have a little disclaimer about how, even though they just did that, they are totally super-straight for sure. In older shows, they just did it without comment, notwithstanding the aforementioned unspoken assumption that there wasn't the remotest possibility that they were serious.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-03 02:03 am (UTC)(link)2. Merlin's setting is not contemporary, therefore the show is not contemporary. Recently aired =/= contemporary.
3. I think maybe this is irrelevant? Maybe it's not. I don't see how it's related to the secret, at least.
I agree with the person asking about seeing a recent example of what OP is complaining about. Topanga's reaction was relevant to the prevailing attitudes of the time, but it's hardly something to gripe about since it happened 15 years ago. I think the issue is more "Is this something that is still happening?" And like some others have said, I haven't personally seen it.
