I seriously cannot stop laughing at Teen Wolf because “How to Get Away With Murder” has an out, prominent, series regular gay character (who has a purpose and story-line) AND this show has shown explicit sexual scenes between two men like no big deal, PLUS their ratings are bomb as fuck.

“The Flash” is going to have the Pied Piper as an upcoming villain and he’s gay, and they said that they will not cover that up. His sexuality will be shown on the show.

“Gotham” has also just revealed the romantic backstory between Barbara and Montoya.

And then I just heard today that “The Originals” is going to have a gay romance in their season with two of the characters.

But then “Teen Wolf” is over there in the corner like, “We just can’t risk having Stiles be bisexual because then our precious target audience wouldn’t watch our show.” and “Stiles is too important to our fans, and making him queer would ruin all of that." and "But it’s okay, look at this ONE token queer character we have that has no purpose, no development, no story-lines, and no reason to exist in our show other than so we can cheer about how progressive our show is.”

ALL OF THESE NEW SHOWS have already done so much more than what Teen Wolf has failed to do in FOUR YEARS on the air. It’s like, the other shows are straight up stomping Teen Wolf’s irrelevant ass like

(plus, I don’t even understand why Teen Wolf is worried about their fans not watching if they make Stiles a prominent queer character, like, you made Stiles hella hetero and people are STILL not watching your shitty ass show. How bout that 1.54 s4 finale rating, tho)

tru

how is teen wolfs target audience NOT teenage shippers

you'd think throwing a gay/bi character reveal in there would help

i like how tyler posey can actually irl ask them to make his character, THE MAIN CHARACTER, bi and get shot down because of homophobia and they still have to obsess over stiles being bi for some reason

nayrt

i've yet to get any receipts on this that wasn't a tumblr post with no links

they still have to obsess over stiles being bi for some reason

"some reason" like they haven't teased bi stiles in the show a lot (including a character straight out asking him and us not getting to see the answer) and the showrunner implied that it would happen only to backtrack later on
