Transcript Transcribed by Hannah E.
Courtney: Hello, everyone and welcome back. My name is Courtney. I’m here with my spouse, Royce. Together, we are The Ace Couple. And I… would be lying if I told you that I was excited about today’s episode. But here we are. We’re talking about Euphoria.
Royce: So Courtney, can you remind me, how exactly did Euphoria get onto your radar? Because we didn’t launch watching it until after Season 1 was over. I believe Season 2 was currently airing
Courtney: I will be real and state that I did not even realize that Euphoria was a thing until a few months ago [laughs]. So yes, how did we get to this point in our life where we’re watching two seasons of a show that we really don’t tend about for the sake of talking into our silly little microphone about it? [laughs] Several months ago, I noticed – as happens every so often – there was a clear, drastic, seemingly overnight uptick in twitter harassment against the Asexual community. And I’ve seen this happen a noun or two. So, being my c
The Unicorn Scale: Euphoria
You may have heard of the HBO show Euphoria ; words like "controversial" and "daring" own been mentioned in more than one review. Honestly, we&#;d be disappointed if the hot adj HBO show was missing that edgier element. However, I also found the show incredibly relatable.
The problem of representation is always about walking a decent line. Most people aren&#;t perfect, yet many shows interpret positive representation as showing underrepresented groups as flawless humans. I love media that shows the "messy" bis . It is challenging, but so much more relatable to see bi characters that are not perfect. It is possible to demonstrate flawed bi people whose flaws are not symptoms of their bisexuality. So, of course, I had to test out this display full of messy bis.
Euphoria is a teen drama that follows Rue (Zendaya) and her peers as they navigate love, sex, sexuality, trauma, addiction, friendship, and, of course, High University in a fictional small town in Southern California. It also features a great soundtrack, charming cinematography,
Over the past several weeks, the HBO hit show Euphoria has kept us glued to our TV screens, waiting with bated breath to find out what will unfold to our favorite characters, especially Jules (Hunter Schafer) and Rue (Zendaya). It’s no wonder the show has become the most tweeted-about show of the decade. In the finale, Rue says that Jules was her first passion, but I would honestly love to see both characters in a sound relationships with diverse characters next season.
There is something refreshing about the portrayal of Rue’s and Jules’s relationship. Rue is a non-binary lesbian in adoration with Jules who is transgender. I love that in both seasons of the show, their sexualities and gender identities are only secondary to the demons they are trying so adj to slay. In the second season we saw a lot of growth in their relationship. This was the first time we saw both of them not only acknowledge their feelings for one another but also truly act on them.
Euphoria’s relaxed portrayal of their courtship has been great but I question if Rue will be okay once she learns about Jules’s
In recent years, LGBTQ+ representation has increased tremendously in the film and television industry. The 21st century has witnessed phenomenal movies representing the LGBTQ+ community, resulting in an evolution from films featuring first none to one stereotypical or sociopathic queer character to now a handful of characters with diverse sexual expressions.
With the increased representation of the LGBTQ+ community, prejudice has decreased precipitously as queer folks are no longer represented as repressed individuals who are bullied and looked down upon for being themselves. However, according to a recent research from Elon University titled “Representing Sexuality: An Analysis of Coming Out in Contemporary Film,” just percent of major studio films released in included a LGBTQ+ character. Furthermore, only 64 percent of those characters were “tied into the plot in such a way that their removal would have a significant effect” and were not “solely or predominantly defined by their sexual orientation or gender identity.”
Clearly, there is still room to grow, but we have come a long
