Honestly I'm still kinda in shock that they made Buck Bi, I thought the show would just end up missing the opportunity to make a great LGBT character. It makes me happy knowing they finally made Buck bi.

When The Legend of Korra ended, the confirmed queerness hit me at night, hours after I watched the episode. I was in my bed, actually crying from happiness. The way the show went about Korra being bi wasn't perfect (as many people on the Internet bitterly like to point out) but to me it still is a defining moment in children's media and something very dear to my heart as a bi guy.

i remember i was at my 70+ yr old aunt’s house the night 7x04 aired and we were watching another show when the 9-1-1 promo came on and she kind of offhandedly said she’d been meaning to watch that so just the fact that someone like her could stumble into that representation is why the distinction between network and streaming is so important

Every one of my straight friends said they were blindsided by his bisexuality and I was like, it was obvious. I don't think straight people understand or can recognize when someone is questioning their sensuality. And just dismiss the behavior. 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

About half of 9-1-1s weekly audience is streaming and globally it mostly is a streaming show on Disney+ so it’s a big moment for both platforms. Going back though you can make an argument that they sort of started preparing the ground for this in season 6 even if unintentionally.There’s the scene in 6x01 where Bobby and Buck have a heart to heart about Buck not being at “peace” with himself and he needed to answer those “questions” himself. It also in my head cannon helps explain why Bobby wasn’t in the least bit shocked about Tommy. Then after his near death experience when Buck admits to Eddie he’s almost having to put on a performance of being his old self to make other people happy when really that’s not who he is, or wants to be anymore. But yeah it’s pretty obvious in retrospective in season 4 when Buck confesses to his therapist he hides his true feelings, they were attempting to lay the ground but Fox shot them down.

Hell yeah! Time to learn a bunch of stuff about a show that, realistically-speaking, I will probably never watch, but that I none the less care enough about to watch the entire 30+ minutes of the video!

Ultimately, the reason representation matters is because if it didn't, why do so many try to stop it? I'm now debating watching this show.

WHY WOULD YOU REMIND ME ABOUT QUENTIN?!?!?!?! Yay bi Buck tho!

Jackson from teen wolf is canonically bisexual

making Buck bi was history. Oliver himself has always said that Buck has been queer ❤

Dang, you're freaking brilliant! Now I gotta start watching another channel. p.s. That was a bachelor crossover?! A bachelor did cross over to the Q-side ; )

It is a character in streaming show... but Benedict Bridgerton gives the same vibes in my opinion

You know, my mom watch that show, and I always thought that he was bisexual... I don't know, the character has everything to be bi.

you listing emma swan in those characters u wish are queer is so real. i definitely thought that storyline w that girl when she was younger would be gay...

I do think that maybe in the older seasons it was their plan to have Buck and Eddie together, but that never planned out, and to be honest, I like them as close friends a lot better. I'm absolutely loving Buck being with Tommy and I hope that continues.

I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I thought it was a great analysis about the relationship and all that came before it. I think that's why I enjoyed his final realization of his bisexuality, that it was a gradual, realistic, realization, and that everyone else in his life seem to understand it except for him.

when the episode aired the first person i thought of was you! i didn’t watch the show at the time (now i do!) but i had seen your video on making buck bi and was dying to know what you thought about it

The way I screamed when you started mentioning CR characters.

I liked the commentary, even if it was a bit snarky! It’s funny that most of your points really reflect a much larger problem in our country right now. And it does all go back to straight white men! Keep up the good work. 👍🏽

The out loud laugh that came out of me as the supernatural comparisons kept going. 😂

I feel like Garak and Bashir are pretty much confirmed. Shipping wiki even marks them as semi-canon.

My favorite queer character will always be Willow from Buffy .. her love story with Tara was beautiful and tragic

28:09 Wait..... What?!?!? WONDER WOMAN is LGBTQ???? Who did Princess Diana had a relationship with aside from Steve Trevor and Superman?!?!? 😱😱😱

thank you for bringing up quentin coldwater, i will never get over what they did to him :(

I haven’t watched anything from Ryan Murphy except a couple random Glee episodes and The People v OJ Simpson and maybe I'm uncultured but there aren't many bisexual or pansexual male protagonists and/or male love interests to the female protagonists in fiction.

I didn’t know he was English in real life I love his accent 😍

I've never watched this show, but all I can say is at least they didn't get the Destiel treatment lol

Yess I always saw it in season 1 !!

Stiles takes adderal... ADHD

Considering to me 9 1 1 is a very good show and I like it
