*sigh* Of course. It figures they’d queer up another comic book character and come out with Batlesbian. Not an atom of creativity in their infertile minds, so let’s mine for ratings in the 300 lb. bull dyke demographic again.
One of the most amusing controversies ever from the alphabet soup crowd:
In Entertainment Weekly’s 2019 LGBTQ special issue, Rose again discussed her gender identity, and the backlash to her casting as the title character of the television series Batwoman.[61] She stated that the opportunity to audition for Orange Is the New Black came about because the show wanted to have a gender-neutral character, but that she has also received criticism because of her genderfluid identity, adding, “When I got cast as a lesbian in Batwoman, I didn’t know that being a gender-fluid woman meant that I couldn’t be a lesbian because I’m not a woman not considered lesbian enough.” She said that while her initial response was dismissive, she later considered if there was a way to remedy the situation so that others would not be offended by her identity, stating, “That’s when I sort of said, ‘I’m a woman that identifies as a woman. I’m not trans. But if being gender-fluid means that I can’t identify as a woman at any point, then I guess I can’t be that.” She pondered making up a term that does not offend people and would indicate that she is “fluid in [her] gender, but also a lesbian.”[61]]
“...In a joint statement, Berlanti Prods. and WBTV reaffirmed their commitment to Batwoman and to casting another LGBTQ actress in the groundbreaking role....”
Pffttt!!!
If you ever get a chance, buy the Batman animated series from the 90s. It is one of the greatest animated TV shows of all time.
The shocker is its still on the air.
But they have been known to just keep producing crappy series for years and years without much following or audience share.
“... sources indicated that it is not related to the stunt injury she sustained during filming of Season 1, which left her facing paralysis and needing emergency surgery.”
NAH! It COULDN’T have ANYTHING to do with that! (maybe a lawsuit or payoff with the stipulation you have to leave?)
I’ve stopped watching these CW Superhero shows. They were fun at first. But now, every show and every episode finds a way to shove something GAY down your throat - even when it does nothing to further the plot in any way shape or form. “I must get home to dinner with my husband” some guy will mutter out of the blue, or some such malarkey.
They should cast a beautiful straight woman as Batwoman.
