“A good episode on these 2 episodes, while I generally can understand a desire to indicate a somewhat inclusive character range and so a bi/gay character or component won’t immediately make me hate something (even if I find it often excessive) I didn’t care for that part of Rogue, though I think what redeems it is the fact they only lean into the gay romance in an acted bit where they’re trying to cause attention and scandal to the people there and then they acknowledge the Doctor couldn’t banish Ruby but he could Rogue implying the love of Friendship is more valuable than romance a classical idea the catechism leans on in its homosexuality paragraphs.
Ultimately this like Space Babies’ emphasis on the goodness of the babies make these episodes have subtle cut backs against the liberal message they push where subtly the goodness of children and friendship over same-sex romance is either conveyed or at least instilled into the mind.”
