Stuff Hitting My Netflix Watchlist This Month
I've definitely been watching a lot of TV shows lately, especially on HBO (Succession and The Righteous Gemstones are where it's at right now.). I've been letting my Netflix viewing fall by the wayside, though. Thankfully they've been adding TONS of good stuff that I can't wait to watch this month.

Make It Gay You Cowards!
SPOILERS WARNING: There are spoilers for several shows and films below, so fair warning. We live in a world of tropes such as "bury your gays" and queerbaiting in our current media. Whilst representation has undoubtedly improved over the years, we still have instances where creators and writers are holding back from giving that representation or claiming that they are giving that representation only for us to find out that it lasts two seconds. For example, I was super excited when the Russo's announced that Avengers: Endgame would feature Marvel's first ever gay character and was really hoping for a Captin America or Captain Marvel reveal. Instead I was disappointed with a nameless character who is dealing with the loss of his husband. This makes me mad for two reasons. Firstly a passing character in a passing moment hardly counts as representation in a film full of straight people. And two, they built it up like it was going to be this big amazing moment for it to last two seconds. That pisses me off. So in this article we'll discuss multiple movies, TV shows and characters that had a real chance to give us proper representation but instead fell into the trap of cheap tricks. Or alternatively are taking the tentative steps towards giving us the representation but are taking their damn time.

'13 Reasons Why' Thoughts/Controversy
So now that I finished the series, let's get into the predictions and thoughts. There are controversies as well. The main controversy stems from the show as a whole. People are still worried that the people who watch it may get triggered. The thing about triggers is that you have to trust people not to watch what may trigger them and to be responsible if they start to get triggered. You also can't take a show off the air cause it may trigger some but not everyone.

Where many other characters from his era appear in a single film, Pooh Bear endures, with films and shows starring him still being produced to this day.
