Emory, Devon, and Skye discuss all the queer couples in media that should have been canon, and rate them based on three criteria: No-Hetero, No-Homo, and No-Romo.

We watched App Monsters. It was a show.

What if a nerd and a jock fell in love? What if they kept having dramatic conversations about their feelings for each other in the most romantic lighting of all time? What if one of them is headed for a major heel turn?

Next week, We’re watching the Netflix show Wednesday. A show which dares to ask the question ‘what if none of these characters had any damn chemistry?’ CW for conversion therapy.

WRQ 15 - Jennifer's Body

We watched Jeniffer’s Body, a movie about teens growing up and dealing with confusing and ambiguous feelings for each other, but also there’s demons and jokes.

Did you know anything about this movie? Did you know it’s funny? I didn’t know, but I’m glad I do now. Look at all these teens being the absolute worst. It’s good.

Next week, We’re watching Sabikui Bisco, a show about mushrooms and boys who would die for each other and also a crab. Recommended viewing is episodes 2, 3, 9, 11, and 12. Or, you know, just watch the whole thing.

EDIT: Fixed playback speed issue.

We watched Serial Experiments Lain, a show which explores many complex philosophical themes, such as ‘what if god didn’t want you to touch a boob.’

This is a big-time Show That Turns You Trans, and we discuss the unintentional, and dubiously intentional, queer themes and characters.

Next week, We’re watching Jennifer’s Body, a movie which teleported us all directly back to the year 2009.

WRQ 13 - Yugioh! The Dark Side of Dimensions

We watched the Movie of All Time, Dark Side of Dimensions, starring the Man of All Time, Seto Kaiba.

Finally we explore the origin of ‘DSODing yourself’. You have to watch DSOD in order to understand Sonic X, and you have to watch Serial Experiments Lain in order to understand DSOD. These are the facts you can only get from We Rate Queerbait.

Next week, We’re watching Serial Experiments Lain! Recommended watchlist is episodes 2, 3, 7, and 12. Content warnings for suicide, unreality, cults, online harassment, and mass shooting.

There’s nothing quite as romantic as teaming up with your old partner to assemble a team of experts and professionals to steal some expensive rocks.

We watched Sonic X with guest and Sonic expert, Dan!

Can you be asexual and swaggy at the same time? Can you have a surplus of Boyfriend Points even when you’re eternally single? Can you be at the center of a polycule when you’ve never thought about kissing in your entire life??? I mean, yeah, probably. The X in Sonic X is the shipping X. This series is pretty funny.

Next time, we’re discussing Ocean’s Eight!
