THEY'RE A WELL-WRITTEN GAY COUPLE CAUSE THEY ARGUE
Really? That's it? That's the only reason people keep bringing these two up?
THEY'RE A WELL-WRITTEN GAY COUPLE CAUSE THEY ARGUE
Because they're not constantly sucking cock on camera or queening out
You say that, but then the same people go nuts when you have characters like pic related who do nothing but talk about how they wanna fuck each other.
Gays that are depicted as mostly normal people who just happen to love cock and are otherwise still characters are infinitely less annoying than giga-faggot homoqueers written entirely for progressive goodboy points.
I don't know, I actually like it when fictional married couples are actually show to lust after each other.
something is well done for once
"UH WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THAT"
people like you should be shot
No, it's because they're presented as completely normal people who happen to be gay, rather than making their homosexuality a core part of their identity. They fuck each other in the ass, they don't make a big deal out of it. Neither do most actual gay people.

That's the issue, though. They aren't normal and never will be. It's not worth validating because when you give a pass to the former then the latter is it's logical conclusion.
gays cant be a couple they are just an abomination
So... how should they be written to be considered good to you?
falling off tall buildings
I like them because there’s more to them than just being gay. Gus is very old school and stubborn, Wally is quick to anger but an over all kind guy. Also the man from Pluto had a very sweet ending.
Make gay characters
Make them actual characters
"This is good"
Make gay characters
Make the fact they're gay the only major character trait they possess
"This is bad"
It's really just that simple.
More people should learn the difference between characters that happen to be gay versus gay characters.
This.
They're a believable old couple because they act like an old couple, having the fact that they're gay as something evident but not pervy, political or ridiculous.
This, there's an almost infinite list of characters that are gay that nobody gives a fuck about. It's only characters that make their entire personality their gayness that become "controversial", and that's largely just a product of people picking up on them being used as mouthpieces. The fucking Portrait of Dorian Gray is homosexual as fuck and written by a fucking homosexual, it's considered a cornerstone of modern literature because it's fucking well-written and the characters make sense as characters. Just make good shit, fuck.
Because it's extremely sweet.
Also the actor sold it extremely well.
normal people who happen to be gay
no such thing
The common boomer joke back then was "I hate my wife/spouse" so the Adamses were written to be the opposite, obsessively into each other. Nowadays, though not a joke, gays are written as gay first and then people while OP picrel are written as people who are gay.
How dare you besmirch Gomez? He's an actual fucking chad the likes of which your pansy-ass could only even begin to dream of becoming. He's allowed to do whatever the fuck he wants whenever he wants, he's earned it and the full respect of anyone that's not a bitch.
And they're ugly
It doesn't stink of fag narcissism thats why.

Good or bad?
gay (bad)
Gus is cool, but Walley is a bit annoying. No way a spinoff would've been good.
Sounds like the praise is going towards the relatability. Honestly it feels like only gay men have realistic couple dynamics on television as they show both the ups and downs, while lesbians tend to be purely lovey dovey and without fault.
purely lovey dovey and without fault.
In other words, A narcissistic delusional that is far from reality.
Feel like shit just want Greg and Terry back
I need these condoms so I can make love to my lover
and don't smirk - they're for gay sex.
How many gay couples are there in cartoons compared to lesbians anyway? Most examples I can think of are just dads from secondary characters
The 90s got lesbians right too, honestly the depiction of gay people in general peaked in the 90s and 00s and has done nothing but decline ever since. The difference is that it's turned from actual hatred into a fetishistic ideal that doesn't actually exist.
Cause they're just good characters and not trying to push being gay as cool and noble. Remember that new Allen Scott Green Lantern series where they pretended him sucking dicks at the docks was the most heroic thing ever?
Not many. Just off the top of my head:
-Greg and Terry (American Dad)
-Clyde's Dads (Loud House)
-Bug Gribble and Juan Pedro (King of the Hill)
-Mr Simmons and his boyfriend (Hey Arnold)
-Mr. Garrison and Mr. Slave (South Park)
-Mr. Ratburn and his husband (Arthur)

Not entirely by itself but it's one of many t hings that do make them work.
The comic version is better and manages to be gay and not a walking talking stereotype.
Eh, he's not even gay in the comic until he becomes a non-character.
This is my first time seeing a boomer crash out in real time. Go for it dude!
Too stereotypical, and his friendship with Mark never felt natural. Not sure why they would remove his whole "coming out" deal.
People who obsessively seethe over gays aren’t normal either.
Seething little BITCH
That's because trannies took over the alphabet club.
or queening out
You know we have good written gay characters who did that. Its better to say that they didnt feel like forced in characters.
whos obsessively seething?
They're opposites but you can tell they genuinely love each other.
yeah but people like seeing abominations in media so this doesn't even hold up.
could be better. his not a bad character but it feels like they only use him when they need a fag on screen.
loud faggot hands typed this
people would like dykes on tv more if they beat each other up like they do in irl.
queening out isn't enough to make a character bad, but being a queen cannot be the only trait they have. pic rel was a capable super-spy badass who doesn't overshadow the main badass (brock). he's a great contrast to brock while remaining capable and fun in his own right.
They're funny, and it's a comedy show so that means they're good characters.
