How was it overdone?

They kissed twice the entire episode, for about 5 seconds. There was barely any physical intimacy to speak of.


I think what I mean to say is that it's redundant information. It's obvious they have a romantic relationship and by extension an intimate relationship through the other scenes in the episode. Sometimes it's better to leave things that are obvious unsaid.

Which is exactly what they did after their initial meeting on the first day.

I have no idea what you or others are even complaining about at this point.

It's pretty obvious why they are upset.

There’s always going to be a couple of snowflakes crying because someone has a varying opinion than them :baby:

If they establish on the first day that the relationship is intimate what else is there to show. They did a phenomenal job establishing the sincerity and realness of the relationship, why take steps backwards and restate what the audience already knows?

Bear in mind I'm just being nitpicky and I dont have any particular stake the other conversation taking place in this thread which boils down to people not wanting to watch dudes kiss. If you wanna have that conversation you should hit someone else up.

I typically skip all intimate scenes, no matter gay or straight cuz I find them boring and monotonous. But I don't see how you could have the opinion "I'm fine with them as long as they only happen once". Seems like a really strange line in the sand tbh.

Is that your takeaway from what I said?

I'd say "because that's how a relationship works". You don't just kiss once and then go "well we did that, guess we never have to kiss again since we have established that we can do it".

One:
u have some of the worst kind of representation of gays via showing disgusting hairy dudes making out

Two:
u have pedophile & child porn defenders (like the dude above) attacking people for being rightfully upset after getting disgusting hairy dudes making out put before their eyes

Result:
can safely thank the showrunners for succesfully increasing animosity towards faggotry in the world!
(even tho their goal was pro-homo propaganda. FAIL!)

:thumbsup:
