Good Omens RT: The Expansive Queerness of Good Omens (1:03:35)
Consulting Fans: Sunday, B, Finn, Science, Johnlocked
Producers: Johnlocked & Finn; Editor: SundayDuck
We discuss how Amazon Prime’s recent adaptation of Good Omens is a wonderful example of expansive queer representation, particulary of asexual characters and relationships and of transgender/gender non-conforming characters.
- Thread on queer rep with Neil Gaiman & fans
- NG keeping it open to asexual readings – “it’s a love story”
- Really lovely thread by someone identifying as agender, asexual
- NG’s thoughts on not reading headcanons / his love of the joy of fandom, headcanons
- Medium piece “Good Omens” is the asexual love story I’ve been waiting for
- NG being delighted that people love all the gender fluidity, “As you say, it’s all love.”, “None of the angels or demons are binary.”
- Happy Non-Binary Day from NG
- Absence of toxic erotonormativity
