Due to arguments about how to fansub this line, I have determined this should be a nice middle ground.

One of my biggest frustrations in trying to discuss queer media is how many people seem incapable of separating “this is an important milestone in representation” from “I did or did not enjoy this piece of media.” Media analysis goes beyond just “fandom stuff,” and queer media in particular deserves analysis and discussion because of how hard it’s been stifled.
It doesn’t matter if you hate Steven Universe, it’s still important to talk about, because it showed the first queer wedding in American children’s television. It has been cited by the creators of subsequent queer family animation as a major milestone in allowing their shows to enter production. The Ruby/Sapphire wedding is a historical milestone, and that doesn’t stop being true just because you hate the show or think the ending was bad.
It doesn’t matter if you think Will & Grace is entertaining or if you have any real interest in watching it, it’s still a majorly important entry in televised queer representation. It kicked down the door to allow even more to come after, and deserves credit for what it did even if you don’t personally care about the story.
It doesn’t matter if you have any personal interest in Rocky Horror Picture Show, it’s still got a ton of important history in queer spaces. Understanding why Rocky Horror showings were and still are hubs of queer expression is important even if you despise the movie and the creator.
Giving credit for representation milestones doesn’t mean you can’t have criticisms of a piece of media, it doesn’t mean you have to like the media, and it doesn’t mean you can’t prefer other media. It doesn’t mean it’s free from problematic material, it doesn’t mean it’s god’s gift to television, it doesn’t mean it’s better or worse storytelling than other stories.
It just means it’s worth talking about and understanding the context in which it was made.
— we were born to make history.

Scrubbed through all four times Yuuri’s performed his Free Skate to see if I could get an idea of what the whole thing looked like!
I was mostly successful, I think.

Raise your hands if you agree◝(⁰▿⁰)◜
Folks are literally out there interrogating explicitly gay media for heteroerotic subtext.
Yuri: I’m sorry this isn’t a gold medal. Victor: I won’t kiss you if it’s not gold.
