THE WCHER WAS SUPER GAY WAY BEFORE SEASON 3

I'm not not a big fan of this mostly bee I don't thk every non tradnal man should be bisexual/gay. The seri is ripe for reprentatn, and now the show has fally livered s first meangful gay romance, a fact that the crics, the viewers, and the st are here for. If you intify as a heterosexual man and Geralt's bathtub scene didn't turn you gay, then the sight of him sually heftg a giant boar over his brawny shoulrs might be what do for you season two.

Short of dyeg his hair blond, Jaskier is full gay-crisis mo here.

Perhaps Lren S Hissrich always tend for there to be some queer subtext, some extra nuance, that not even Batey might be aware we asked Lren directly about the homoerotic unrton of Jaskier's relatnship wh Geralt, she too said that there aren't any. "I don't thk there are any homoerotic unrton for those characters, but I do thk that when you talk about girliends, people have no problem sayg, 'I love my girliend' or 'I would do anythg for her', or 'If we got to a fight, and she didn't want to see me anymore, my heart would be broken'.

THIS MASSIVELY POPULAR FANTASY SERI ON NETFLIX IS ABOUT TO FEATURE S FIRST GAY ROMANCE

Outsi of La, a gay character who barely registers as such Nightmare of the Wolf, LGBTQ+ inti don't seem to exist this anchise at all (that we've noticed, anyway). Is The Wcher gay? At the time, shownner Lren S Hissrich nied any homoerotic unrton, explag that this was "jt an example of male iendship" be fair, if any bottom was gog to receive pliments om straight men, would be the extremely pert and ed lovely one that belongs to Henry Cavill.

And when they were fally rned after an extend absence, Jaskier got his k off the first chance he uld get, showg off his newly-sculpted abs a bid to imprs Geralt and remd him of what he'd been missg out aga, The Wcher team nied any homoerotic unrton between the pair.

IS THE WCHER GAY, OR VERY GAY?

After Nightmare of the Wolf tossed a blk-and-you'll-miss- gay character lled La, the Blood Orig prequel wove multiple queer storyl around Meldof's lost love, Gwen, and Nathaniel Curtis' "Fancy Gay J" (as the st liked to ll him).

NetflixHontly, 's givg 'Padam', and we're not the only on pickg up on those gay vib by then eher. Still, that hasn't stopped onle tractors om whg that Jaskier shouldn't be "gay" at all.

IS JOEY BATEY GAY? RUMORS SPARK AS HIS CHARACTER BE QUEER ‘THE WCHER’ SEASON 3!

But the cx of all is that homophob n no longer ny Jaskier's queerns, so stead, they argue 's wrong bee 's not fahful to the source, Jaskier isn't queer the books, that's te, but where's the outrage for the many other chang that Netflix has ma to The Wcher then? Speakg jt recently to Gay Tim, Batey mented on this "very vol negative space wh the fandom, " potg out that 's "actually the mory, " not the majory, who feel this way. We hope he's right bee do seem absurd to object agast a queer-d character beg revealed as queer a world where basilisks and chernobogs are readily accepted as the Jaskier sgs his new gay banger, their love is "not a want, 's a need".

If they ma Geralt a b gay too. As we’ve gradually e to realize, even the Netflix seri that aren’t “gay, ” so to speak, ually end up featurg at least one gay character, or a proment gay subplot. You n’t jt tease wh that and not expect the gays to tune !

And th begs The Wcher‘s first gay love story. In nversatn wh The Gay Tim, both Batey and Skner discs what a thrill ’s been to brg queer reprentatn to this fantastil world. Speakg to The Gay Tim, Skner, who is openly gay, scrib the opportuny to play an LGBTQ+ character “ a show of this genre and wh this much reach” as thrillg and a real privilege.
