I mean, yeah?

But there's also a reason why Heated Rivalry was so healing to many in that community. Representation of the LGBTQIA+ experience has leaned hard into the trauma up until now. We all deserve to see ourselves represented and represented as normal and happy.

Similar to how autistic people simply can’t be other than maverick geniuses (i.e. tolerated because useful to society)

I think in film Hollywood wants those characters to be perfect

And yet he was happy to queerbait his audience along with Moffat. He's only pulling up the ladder and calling it something else.
I like his acting, but he has nothing to say worth listening to
