Scalding hot take y’all aren’t ready for: Chell and GLaDOS were in fact in lesbians, but Chell was the domme and GLaDOS was the bratty sub.
Think about it: the entire game, GLaDOS runs her mouth taunting Chell as Chell calmly and slowly approaches, avoiding all of GLaDOS’s attempts to stop her, until they finally meet in person and Chell puts GLaDOS in her place.
Then in the sequel GLaDOS is back to bratting again but the moment GLaDOS is in real trouble, Chell immediately shifts into caretake domme mode to protect the sad potato that is her girlfriend (and honestly, in my experience, sad potato is a perfect description for someone going through sub drop).
Then once GLaDOS is doing better and the source of her discomfort (the obnoxious man who tried to insert himself into their dynamic before Chell dealt with him) is gone, they immediately resume their normal dynamic.
Tell me how any of that reads like Chell as the sub, hmmm?
