Sadly I don't trust anyone involved in this shitshow to really take a step back, sit down, and genuinely ask themselves why the ratings were so low and why reviews have been so mediocre. They'll probably convince themselves that their show was just too ~radically queer~ and people couldn't handle it or something, or they'll blame random things like covid (even though more people than ever are sitting home and doing things like watching tv lol) or whatever else. Marja has made it clear that she doesn't give a fuck about "terf lesbians" (AKA real lesbians) so she's not going to give a shit about lesbians not standing for her lesbophobic garbage. But yeah, aside from random anons on sites like this, there hasn't been much for substantial or public backlash, sadly. I wish we had more of a voice somewhere.Guest wrote: ↑18 Oct 2021, 22:13Terrible. If GQ gets cancelled I hope she never gets a job again, not because I wish her harm but because she's just a mediocre writer.Guest wrote: ↑18 Oct 2021, 19:10It's funny how Marja thinks she's so woke, such an ally, so progressive, yet at least three times now she's ignored/mistreated black women. She has completely ignored Tasha - afaik she's never even mentioned Tasha outside of the show - but has had Alice mention Dana a few times. Dana was a huge part of Alice's life for sure, but who was Alice when we last left off with TLW? Tasha! She also has almost entirely ignored Quiara since s1 of GQ ended, and now she's rewriting Shane's history with Quiara to force a lesbophobic "love story" with Tess, very clearly favoring this white male over a black woman. She also killed Kit off when she didn't have to. Yeah Pam Grier was busy during s1 and couldn't return, but Marja surely slammed that door shut and ensured that Kit could never return. Keeping Kit alive could've been a nice triumph for her character after struggling with addiction but coming out okay on the other side, but she chose to kill Kit off to further Bette's boring mayoral run story.
And if GQ does get cancelled... do you think the people involved have any idea why the views were so low? I mean, apart from the bad writing, lesbians are not watching it because this season is so lesbophobic and completely foreign and disconnected from lesbian reality, but as far as I know no one has ever voiced their criticism anywhere else except here. I think they should know why lesbians hate a show 'supposedly' made for lesbians. I know most people are afraid of making public comments since they'll get harassed by TRAs but you can send an email or dm.

That reddit post is so vague and misleading anyway. Hardly anyone here "hates" Shane. Actually most people in this thread love her, like her, or are just kinda neutral about her. She doesn't have a ton of fans in the GQ thread these days tbf but I still don't think many in that thread "hate" her either. Part of the reason why so many people here are so pissed about Shane's storyline is BECAUSE we like Shane ffs, and even those who don't care about Shane as much are pissed about Shane's storyline because it's lesbophobic (and boring af to boot). Not that I expect these dumbass TRA redditors to get that or care, but it's still misleading to boil all of this down to us supposedly "hating" Shane.

Re: Showtime
DA honestly I agree, and I don't feel sorry for baiting actresses when they finally receive some backlash for their baiting. Obviously I don't condone any behavior from fans that truly crosses any lines, but I think it's fair for fans to be annoyed that they've been baited once again. Straight/het-partnered bi actresses pull this shit all the time, purposefully trying to get their lesbian fans' hopes up and stringing everyone along.

Re: Showtime
Someone in the GQ thread is posting screentime counts per episode of season 2 for each character and ship. It'll be interesting when it's done to see how much undeserved screentime Jimbo wasted and how hard they pushed "Shess." The last episode count I saw (I think ep 5?) had Shane with the least amount of screentime out of everyone, with Jimbo having more. It also gave the other het couple (Alice/the dude) the most screentime out of all ships in that episode.

Re: Showtime
DA I think she's the best thing in terms of the reboot justifying its existence, though it's all in the casting because she's not actually a well written character either. In terms of viability, the best thing that happened to Gen Q was LuH being talked into coming back on a recurring basis. I'm not a Tibette shipper and even think it puts Bette in an awkward position (not that the writing would be good even if they could commit to one thing or the other with her), but the ratings did tick up for the finale, quite a bit in relative terms, and that uptick means those viewers were subscribed to Showtime whether or not they were watching every episode. Imo the most likely explanation was that those viewers wanted to see if Tibette would get back together, and if Gen Q gets a third season--which it doesn't deserve--it will be entirely because of the Tibetters that they've jerked around.

Your theory makes sense: I'm not a Tibette shipper either, but they've absolutely been a big deal for damn near two decades now. They're the biggest ship to come out of TLW, and bringing Laurel back has reignited the passion for the ship.

DA Gigi is by far the best thing that happened to Gen Q. Gigi and her ships are the only thing that has engaged new viewers. Her character is the only emotionally mature for her age. She is hot, warm, sexy, kind, understanding etc. With minimum screen time she has managed to become the most popular character from Gen Q. Tibette belongs to the OG of they have the most loyal fandom, but I can promise that there ain’t 1 new viewer that is watching gen q because of tibette.Guest wrote: ↑12 Nov 2021, 14:55DA I think she's the best thing in terms of the reboot justifying its existence, though it's all in the casting because she's not actually a well written character either. In terms of viability, the best thing that happened to Gen Q was LuH being talked into coming back on a recurring basis. I'm not a Tibette shipper and even think it puts Bette in an awkward position (not that the writing would be good even if they could commit to one thing or the other with her), but the ratings did tick up for the finale, quite a bit in relative terms, and that uptick means those viewers were subscribed to Showtime whether or not they were watching every episode. Imo the most likely explanation was that those viewers wanted to see if Tibette would get back together, and if Gen Q gets a third season--which it doesn't deserve--it will be entirely because of the Tibetters that they've jerked around.

Re: Showtime
Gini has been treated as a secondary storyline and has gained a solid fandom. You can look in any social media # a Gini/Gigi is the most spoken subject. Tibette is good, it keeps the loyal fans interested, but it’s Gini/Gigi who have the new viewers interested, specifically young lesbiansGuest wrote: ↑12 Nov 2021, 19:16DA I agree -- the success of Gigi is 100% PURELY due to the actress. She isn't well-written either, and Marja clearly doesn't think as much of her as the fans do. They just got lucky with casting, and this random underdeveloped character ended up resonating with audiences because the actress is charming and talented.Guest wrote: ↑12 Nov 2021, 14:55DA I think she's the best thing in terms of the reboot justifying its existence, though it's all in the casting because she's not actually a well written character either.

Your theory makes sense: I'm not a Tibette shipper either, but they've absolutely been a big deal for damn near two decades now. They're the biggest ship to come out of TLW, and bringing Laurel back has reignited the passion for the ship.

Re: Showtime
There is no perfect characters on gen q, but people want real lesbians stories. Stories you can relate to a bit. There is a reason why Gigi became popular. She cheated on her wife and her little son knew about it, she kind of separated Alice and Nat, she had a relationship with Bette and went after young Dani right after bette rejected her. There is still not many people hating on her, she is probably the most loved and respected new characterGuest wrote: ↑12 Nov 2021, 20:38You want only perfect characters who don't have any flaws.

Re: Showtime
I can see that the butch lovers in this thread are getting pressed by femXfem couples and Gigi’s popularity. I guess I would be bitter too if my fave was Shane
Re: Showtime
Don't worry, maybe next season they will pair up Gigi with Tess.Guest wrote: ↑12 Nov 2021, 20:48I can see that the butch lovers in this thread are getting pressed by femXfem couples and Gigi’s popularity. I guess I would be bitter too if my fave was Shane
Re: Showtime
Nah, Over Kate’s dead body. Have you looked at the women Gigi hooks up with? They all have education, careers and are successful. They are all real women.

It's not a real world, it's Marja's universe. Marja can hook up any characters she wants, and she will not stop until Tess fucks every female on this show.
Re: Showtime
Kate would never allowed it, she has a bit of a saying. Shess are marja’d fave and Gigi is her least favourite person, she would think she is doing Gigi a favour.

Good for us then. Marja will keep delivering Sinley and leave you with scraps from the table.
