Don't have time for too much complex thought right now but just wanted to say THANK YOU.

I feel like pop culture has really fed into this nonsense, where every scene between anybody is written/filmed as "ship-bait".

This idea people can't be friends without underlying sexual tension feels a lot like "you can't just enjoy something without putting it online and side-hustling it." And it sucks.

It feels like another extension of how everyone sees every single human interaction as transactional anymore.
