[QUOTE="Cobra, post: 615073, member: 1172"] I only watched Ep 1 and 2. I enjoyed them both. I liked Ep 1 better? Does that make me gay because I liked something virtually that was gay? :gay: hmmm... It was a unique concept showing 2 masculine black men with frustrated sex lives but a very strong bond in friendship. This has a lot of parallels in the real world. Sometimes our best relationships are not ones with a significant other or chick. It's with other men. I mean are we really satisfied with relationships with women? They either are dumb or their priorities change (for thr most part). The grass isn't greener on the other side but at least you have good friends you can play a game with or shoot the shit with WITHOUT being judged. Women are all about themselves. The wife just cares about herself. No one noticed the subtext of this being portrayed? However, as an aside there's something fantastic about letting yourself escape into the virtual world where the rules of being tied down (marriage) or endlessly selling yourself (dating) do not exist. You can relax and say fuck it. I would have preferred not to do this with another dude but it just so happened this was the scenario. Finally being with someone who will never judge you and understands you. You don't have to agree with the morality to enjoy the creativity. I always believed that about art, including cinema. I mean, let's look at this a different way, shall we? Take the gay aspect out and make the 2nd main character a woman. That's a LOT worse from a creativity standpoint. Then you lose the ability to portray that strong bond between 2 black guys genuinely. No way it flies with a chick instead even for other reasons if you think about it. As far as black guys being portrayed in media as positive, I call bullshit. The liberal agenda isn't about representing black men genuinely. Hollywood and TV just portrays them as caricatures (white men with black face). If not they're on the 6 o'clock news. At least shows like this portray black men exactly as they are instead of putting on white face. I liked that dynamic and cultural references. It's funny how hollywood pretends to give black actors a chance to please the left and the right thinks it's got ammo against them even though it's all smoke and mirrors. Some of the comments out there reek of virtue signalling. Just try hard attempts to prove this was the gayest hour of TV ever, instead of digging deeper. We know you're not gay. Relax. [/QUOTE]
