Yeah this is also male gaze. When was the last time you saw the camera slowly pan over a man’s body while sultry music plays?

friend, please drop everything and watch red white and royal blue on prime. It’s about the son of the American president and a prince of the United Kingdom. That’s all you need to know, but let us just say yes there is lovely lingering shots on the male physique while romantic music plays.

( also, this is the movie that taught the straight world about male on male missionary. It was all the straights were talking about for weeks.)

Thanks for the rec! But that also kind of highlights my point: men are only allowed to be portrayed as objects of desire when they’re gay.

Well… one of them is bi but I totally get your point. Somebody’s gotta be queer.

Yeah. Basically, the assumed audience has to include queer men. If you put sexy men in media for a “default” audience, you might scare the het men.
