A serious conversation is needed on why a show in 2024, with a cast full of queer actors, there is a huge problem of queerphobia. From queerbaiting to queer characters being erased, queer relationships being erased, trans leads being sidelined and transphobes hired on the show.
And a more widespread and active conversation bc people have been talking really since the show came out. I think there's a lot more viewers and more viewers espying the discrepancies and that awful actor I can't remember the name of is is at Rhaenyra's council that's waking up more talkers.
There's just so much to hate about this show...why do you erase an actual queer suggestive coupling b/t Sabitha and Black Aly if you did Rhaenicent and thought this ship was so "feminist" or woman-central? Wouldn't you want more like these, Sara Hess?! Or is that not marketably "cool", to "repeat" yourself? Maybe she was outvoted, idk.
