intimacy and violence (between men) on our screens. the Terror (2018). Frontier (2017). GCW Homecoming (2022).

ID: once again thinking about intimacy between men being more of a taboo than direct and grotesque violence.

I can watch a show with queer characters who's intimacy is entirely off screen - but I'll see the brutal punishment one of them gets for it in its entirety.

I can watch a series that show's me sliced throats, smashed heads and sexual assault of women - but won't show me a direct kiss between two male lovers.

I can watch a staged fight that uses real violence - and see more outrage against the actors homoeroticism than their brutality.¹

It's not that i wanna see them fuck onscreen so badly, and I actually love the creativity of an indirect kiss, I even enjoy violence in my media to some degree - but nothing exists in a vacuum and I cannot ignore what they decide to show and hide.

Especially when it's literally spelt out for us, like censoring a simple kiss on another mans temple for a "family friendly" cut.

¹ the outrage over deathmatch wrestlings brutality is ridiculous too, but in this case specifically it was quite telling that ive seen more homophobic complaints than the usual issues people have with this form of art.

If I wrote an mid season 1 Michael whump-fic for Frontier would anyone be interested in reading it? I have the barest outline of a story in mind but otherwise I’ll just jot it down for myself
