    This is what I said:

    Great idea. I would love a prominent TV show to have main characters of the opposite sex that are good friends and a romance is never shoehorned into it at any point.

    A prominent TV show.

    As in one. Singular.

    So I’m not sure where you have gotten it into your head that I want no romance at all in media.

      main characters of the opposite sex that are good friends

      These days you’ll get romance with characters of the same sex too, detracting. If you only look at the main characters, maybe. But a show without romance at all? No.

        For fuck’s sake…

        For the third time:

        Great idea. I would love a prominent TV show to have main characters of the opposite sex that are good friends and a romance is never shoehorned into it at any point.

        Since you need this re-clarified for you, I’ll do it a fourth time:

        I am talking about the main characters of a single TV show and, since you need further clarification, main characters of a single TV show who are both heterosexual and opposite genders who have no romantic feelings toward each other,

        Do I need to be even clearer?

        As for your suggestion that queer romance is as commonplace as heterosexual romance on TV now, that’s just laughably untrue.
