One of my fave things abt queer eye is when the gays do the thing where theyre super affectionate or they jump on a bed and roll around and hug and have a good time and then the like het cis man theyre currently helping like freezes for a second and isnt sure what to make of it before they take a step over the edge of fighting some of that internalized toxic masculinity and then goes!!!! “Hey guys look out here i come!!!!!” And the fab 5 are alwayS SO well receiving in it and welcome them and its just. So nice. Thats what we need.
honestly I was dragging my feet to start watching queer eye because I felt like it was a lot of white gay male culture and not much else. but I gave it a shot and I would now die for these boys?? they’re compassionate and caring during their time with the person, and it’s not just white guys helping white guys. they get into some hard-hitting stuff and don’t shy away from awkward topics. also they’re adorable and I love them
fab5-esque commentary has effectively replaced a lot of my shitty internal dialogue??? like, the more i watch queer eye, the more inclined i am to think “i should wear an outfit that makes me feel confident today” or “i should prepare a meal instead of making ramen again” or “i should tidy my room” or “i shouldn’t put myself down for being vulnerable.” not to say that i don’t still have depression and shit, but inundating myself with media that encourages positivity and self-love has helped a lot and i wish we had more shows like this tbh
I finally gave in and started watching Queer Eye, my god I adore the Fab 5 so so much I want a group of friends like them, and I’m honestly in love with Antoni
