I love the trend of mlm teen shows being cute romances, heartfelt moments, dealing with school etc. And then the wlw teen shows are like What if you're all trapped in the wilderness and forced to survive and you come up with intricate rituals and you can't live with or without each other and you're suffering and constantly facing death and...

okay so the wilds got canceled for low viewership and negative responses, first kill got canceled for not holding viewership long enough and negative responses, paper girls again got canceled for low viewership, and warrior nun *checks notes* oh warrior nun had overwhelmingly positive responses but got canceled for not holding viewership long enough… weirdly tho these “low viewership” numbers are incredibly similar to many shows that did get renewed and did get largely promoted-namely heartstopper, young royals, elite— so i cant help but wonder if maybe maybe low viewership isnt the problem at all. and that maybe maybe the problem is the other thing that is shared by all of these shows, which is their main love story being wlw and their primary audience being sapphics. and that maybe maybe these shows were never meant to be renewed, as the disparity in promotional investment is obvious, because of that very reason. maybe that has something to do with it. fuck netflix and fuck streaming.

so if we’re keeping score of shows in the last few years:
teenage bounty hunter: canceled
trinkets: canceled
dollface: canceled
betty: canceled
batwoman: canceled
legends of tomorrow: canceled
motherland: fort salem: canceled
gentleman jack: canceled
the wilds: canceled
first kill: canceled
supergirl: ended
dickinson: ended
the bold type: ended
killing eve: ended
and we’re just supposed to be cool with almost all lesbian tv media being wiped out?

I agree. This trend of canceling any and all shows with wlw rep is really fucking disturbing, and I'm honestly so exhausted.

We went from “Bury Your Gays” to “Just Cancel the Show Instead” real quick and I honestly can’t say which is fucking worse at this point.
Honestly, finally giving the queer community good, wholesome, and non-toxic content only to have it ripped away for no articulable reason (WN has the highest critic score of any Netflix show ever) is feeling worse than outright killing queer characters.
At least we knew not to get attached when they were shooting us.
Disrespectfully, fuck you, Netflix.
