an open letter to all media companies
dear media companies,
i know you won't stop cancelling good tv shows and media with, let's not beat around the brush, predominately lgbt+ characters (lesbian characters to be more specific), so i won't ask you to. however, what i do ask of you is that you, at least, give a chance for the fans to say goodbye to their characters and for the story to be at least somewhat done.
i'm writing this after sobbing over the last episode of the owl house and boy, that was emotional. but there was one thought that mainly went through my head after watching the last episode (apart from "i need more") which was: at least they got to say goodbye (literally). because so many tv shows have been cancelled without a chance to finish their stories, without a chance to say goodbye. for example, i was very angry, annoyed, and unsatisfied when dead end: paranormal park was cancelled by netflix but, unlike the owl house, it was cancelled on a cliffhanger without any means to finish the story or say goodbye to the characters, and my anger was overpowered by the sadness i felt. the owl house, though, got a chance. and i guess what i'm saying is that you media companies will never listen to queer people when we tell you how important representation is especially in children's media, so i'll just save my breath but please, give it one more episode or at least a clip or something. because you may just see a price tag or angry emails from homophobic parents but we see ourselves in those characters, so they will always be more than just kids' tv show characters, and it hurts to just leave them without having any closure.
but i'll be accommodating, if you don't want to give the series one last episode, then at least tell the producers of the show before you cancel it so they can prepare, so they can give a massive fuck you to you one last time in the form of excessive PDA or pride flags galore for one last hurrah.
you can cancel the tv shows that actually matter and ignore the communities you hurt but we'll never back down. animators, storytellers, producers, directors etc. will still push for change, equality, representation, and awareness no matter when you decide to cancel our stories.
yours faithfully,
