Petra Solano’s Bisexuality Is a Love Letter to “Jane the Virgin” Fanshttps://www.autostraddle.com/petra-sola ... ns-413717/Daraus:
Zitat:
On most other shows, upon hearing the audience reading Petra as queer, specifically reading chemistry between her and Jane, they would have cut back on the screen time they had together, stopped letting them share a frame. Or they would have given them both male love interests and stop developing their characters outside those relationships. Or have them both say the word “friend” so much the word almost becomes meaningless. Or said, “We already have Luisa, Rose and Krishna as queer women on this show; [...] Or they would have purposefully and strategically played up the chemistry without any payoff, baiting and baiting until we couldn’t take it anymore. We know. We’ve seen these things happen endlessly, relentlessly over the years.
Instead, Jane the Virgin saw the audience reading Petra as queer and gave her a female love interest. Simple as that.
