Richard Madden (Robb Stark in GOT)

Mainstream media and even gossip rags have been very careful when it comes to “outing” guys or suggesting non hetero relationships. In some ways that’s good. But considering how the media still highlights and hypes up non confirmed supposed hetero relationships and still likes to use girls kissing and faux lesbianism for sensation, it does come off hypocritical and gay panic-y.

agree with all of this!

That's the patriarchy, dear. A bunch of white cisheteros men who control everything we read, watch and listen. Sometimes a person shows up who changes everything and is successful, but they are the minority.

That’s of course true. But also, a lot of queers shamed the media throughout the early 2000s for outing folks and for even suggesting whatever actor/male singer was in the least bit “gay”. And it’s true that it was rather toxic. For example, those John Travolta jokes and covers of gossip mags were even cringe-y back then. So, I get the change up. But the same approach of respecting “privacy” or not wanting to air people’s journeys is not nearly taken as seriously when it comes to hetero behaviors, hetero relationships and women. And yes, the hypocrisies and double standards are definitely mostly driven by male homophobia, gay panic, the patriarchy, having to maintain hetero appeal, internalized phobias, etc.
 
Uuuf, okey Froy .

Camila is ALWAYS invading Shawn's lives, posts, etc, to get some attention.
OHHH C'MON, ARE U KIDDING ME? XD
Froy hardly ever comments on richard's posts or people related to him. And if he wants to start showing even more of his relationship with Richard, that's even better, he doesn't do it to attract attention.

in fact they do the opposite of drawing attention to themselves or their relationship.
 
Too bad Eternals is flopping with critics. It wasn't the next Guardians of the Galaxy like they intended. Don't see Richard being asked back for a future Marvel film, along with a majority of the cast. Maybe only Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan, Lauren Ridloff and Kit Harington

lmao chill, Disney doesn't care about critics, they care about B.O. returns. Let's see where it lands. Critics panned Venom and it still gave Sony one of the highest-grossing films of 2018.
