I liked this video so much! I have sometimes also thought that it’s interesting how consumer capitalism and the idea of a sexual preference or identity emerged around the same time.

Verity, goddamn, this was really good. And I needed it. All of it. Thank you!

You have definitely convinced me that I haven't given Russell T Davies sufficient credit for his support of bisexuals/bisexuality. I've had mixed feelings about Captain Jack because of the otherworldly nature of his bisexuality (and the lack of the word), but when it comes down to it, it is quite a feat to make a slutty bisexual into a family-friendly character on a 7pm show. My sister's kids even named their cats Jack and Doc! Disney is not my friend, but RTD is <3 My husband was an extra in Queer as Folk, but very very sadly (for me) they did not use the footage of Stuart giving him a blowjob. :(

Verity Ritchie

Oh my god, that's so cool, even if they didn't use the footage! :O I know what you mean about Jack. I think ultimately diversity in portrayals is what's most important, and I think at the end of the day its way too much weight on any single character to have to be representative of a whole minority of people. Thanks, Nik! :D

I went to see the new Bond film over the weekend after watching this video with my partner and there is another moment 'crumb' in it and my partner said ' Warner Bros is not your friend either'. <3

Verity Ritchie

Haha, oh no! It's the only bond film I've been tempted to see in about 20 years, I'll try to enjoy the crumb if I get around to it!

Eerie Enby

Oh no, hope I did not spoil anything. I did really enjoy the film. It was mostly that your video has left an impression on both of us 💙💜💖

Verity Ritchie

Oh no, you didn't spoil anything! I'm sure keeping my expectations as low as possible is best for a bond film anyway XD

I didn't know I need this content in my life, Verity. New patron here, very happy that I'm able to support the work you do. Makes my 90%-straight-yet-identify-as-bi brain feel so much more validated.

Also, screw Disney and their laughable LGBT fan service.

Verity Ritchie

Brilliant, thanks so much, Asaf, glad to have you along! :D

Verity Ritchie

Thank you for always being so lovely and supportive, LaTonya! :D 💜

I hope to be more verbose in the future with what I find of value in your content, but for now, just know that this video is what made me decide to become a Patron 🖤😊 (p.s. it was frigging brilliant)

Verity Ritchie

Thank you so much, summertimekiller! And welcome! 😊
