    Is it just me, or do more and more women seem to have this obsession with lesbians in movies? More specifically lesbian romance.

    Maybe I’m seeing things with different glasses. So help me out here. Something has just changed over the years.

      It’s probably just because people can be more openly gay now than they used to and they want representation in the media they consume. You couldn’t demand lesbian media without outing yourself before.

      It is being pushed more and more in the media… this is a perfect example. Simply making up shit all to hook a certain demographic.

      Back in the 80s, we had tons of tacked-on romantic interests added to movies for no good reason. Some action movie where the world is nearly obliterated, everyone you know is dead and a whole space army is chasing you - sure find a hiding spot and bang the girl you saved 2 hours earlier. Totally makes a ton of sense. These days certain people in the media are trying to push another narrative but it is just as tacked-on and cringy.

      It is especially ridiculous when the characters and the movie have nothing to do with romance.

      People love behind the scene movie facts. People also love subversive movie facts (see wizard of oz dark facts and rumors). People also love lesbians, so that’s where these rumors come from.
