Whats interesting to me is that in both cases the only reason they could get away with it was the appeal to white cis men.
If it was a black guy and a white woman it would have caused riots.
If it was two dudes it wouldn’t have made it to air.
We should keep in mind that a lot of the progress we’ve made the last 30 years has been exploiting cis male sexuality. Maybe we could’ve avoided the far right resurgence if Netflix had a hit tv show about a sexy Syrian woman with a thing for blondes living in Berlin.
