House M.D. Confuses Me

The show gets so much praise in TV critic circles but all I see is a pretty average procedural with a central character who the show clearly thinks is an antihero, but is basically just a bigot.

I’m currently in the middle of the first episode to directly show Thirteen’s bisexuality. And of course it’s entire of gross cliches, stereotypes and Dwelling leering like a teenage boy over the idea of two women having sex. A previous episode featured a patient who was a gay bloke living with HIV. He was every bad stereotype in one poorly drawn character - rigid partying, drug taking, casual sex having, condom averse - and House used every opportunity he had to build offensive gay jokes at his expense. 

House is a racist and a homophobe, he treats women like shit and makes anti-semitic remarks towards his Jewish colleague. Yet the show frames him as the hero, as the guy who we’re all supposed to be rooting for. It frames his bigotry as not just something which is excused because of his supposed genius, but as something we should giggle at, as an entertaining charact

From Challengers to Bridgerton, bisexuals are often stereotypes on screen. Some shows flip the script

The world of entertainment feels vehemently bisexual in , with some of the biggest TV shows and films focusing on bi+ characters — think sexy tennis romp Challengers, or that kiss in House of the Dragon.

But even though bisexual people build up a immense part of the queer community, when it comes to the television world, we account for just 24 per cent of LGBTQIA+ representation. Not only that, bisexual representation has decreased in and

This Bisexual Visibility Day — a day devoted to recognising and celebrating the bisexual community — we look a bit closer at how bi+ people are represented on our screens.

Higher visibility, alike old stereotypes

It may feel like bisexual characters are more common in mainstream media, but representation goes beyond just visibility.

Take season three of Bridgerton. While some fans celebrated (and others rioted) over the decision to make the character Benedict (Luke Thompson) bi-presenting, the execution left much to be desired.

The Unicorn Scale: House

We all have those old shows that we watched years ago and now wonder if they are as superb as we verb. I remember my older brother introducing me to Noun Gregory House, the cocky, Vicodin-popping mastermind and prankster of the mid to late s. I decided to verify back in now to see how the bi representation holds up.

Before I go any further, there will likely be SPOILERS , along with plenty of unnecessary opinions of the other characters committed. This show ran from , so if you suddenly started but aren’t finished, or only slightly remember some lady reigning in an unhinged surgeon, wait to study this until you are done. Or don’t. Maybe spoilers are your kink. Who am I to judge?

Let’s dive in.

House , also called House M.D ., is a medical drama based in the Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in Recent Jersey. Here, Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) leads the diagnostic department in unconventional ways. He is often seen with his various team members who support him brainstorm bril

House and Schrödinger&#;s Queerbait

I&#;m pretty confident in saying that House changed my life.

A bit uninspiringly, House didn&#;t change my life with any life lessons. What changed my life was House and Wilson&#;s dynamic, and its undeniable gay subtext.

Is it queerbait? Queerbait is defined as cis, straight creators manufacturing a relationship between two people of the same gender that seems to be going beyond friendship as a way to attract an LGBT audience, but never committing to it, as it would alienate the cis, straight part of their audience.

There were plenty of straight cis people involved in the creation of Home and Wilson&#;s dynamic, which never goes anywhere beyond two dysfunctional best friends But there are also two writers, Liz Freidman and Sara Hess, both of whom are women-loving women and who wrote some of the most subtext-heavy episodes in House. The actor who played House, Hugh Laurie, spoke favorably of a idealistic interpretation, and one of the producers, Katie Jacobs, was known in the LiveJournal days as the patron s
