Exactly – it's so absurd and trashy that it's approaching 'camp'. It reminds me of Riverdale in that way. We really don't need to be having conversations about representation in shows like this!

First, thank you for posting an article that included the top quotes and perspectives from the other articles. Very efficient. Appreciated. Second, I thought the most fascinating take was about the idea of being past representational discourse. And at first I was like YES. And then I was like, oh yeah. Representation isn't for me, the out lesbian. It's for the closeted kids who don't even realize that being me is an option. But do I want them having *this show* as the representation?... No, but luckily it's not the only option. But going back to the idea that we, the out queers, don't **need** accurate, authentic representation in media, I like that idea a lot.
