The buffy scene was a little bit awkward. But generally they handled Willow´s coming out and her relationship with a girl SO well. Especially for the time.

yeah i couldn't get past the awkward acting, but overall, the scene / reaction isn't terrible, and i can appreciate how big it wouldve been at the time! 💜

[@bluegrasskids52784]

I get the feeling the acting was awkward because they wanted to portray the awkwardness.

[@nicholasjh1]

​@@bluegrasskids52784I believe so. They aren't normally awkward, and this isn't the total coming out scene. Buffy was not 'immediately'okay. There is another piece later that they talk about it and Buffy admits to get awkwardness and they talk about it a bit more

[@Olivetree80]

@@laurenelloise it was definitely supposed to be that way for a reason

[@lexterminate]

So Buffy’s my favorite show and Buffy’s the kind of show that is a journey and has a lot of contextual stuff in it so it can come off cringey if you’re dropped in with no context. There’s another “metaphorical coming out “ scene in season 2 of Buffy where Buffy “comes out” as slayer to her mom and it’s very much treated as a coming out scene and she gets told that if she leaves not to come home. it’s a really rough brutal scene but it hits in the feels every time.

[@Dani_1012]

Well this comment has officially convinced me to watch Buffy 😊 tx

[@micron000]

I think that Willow's coming out in Buffy has to be taken in context. At the time, there were practically no main wlw characters in network dramas. Most wlw storylines we did get, were done for ratings - they were the most blatant queerbaiting, highly pushed in marketing as "groundbreaking", and garnered hype for the show through controversy. Even within the shows narrative, it was always seen as experimentation. Once the storyline was over, one part of the pair would usually leave the show, and the other would go on to only have straight relationships, their sexuality never to be mentioned again. With the (very very) few characters that did stay LGBTQ+, they would usually have a way over-the-top, dramatic storyline, such as outing, being kicked out, bullied or gay bashed etc... And even then, after the storyline would be resolved, their sexuality would usually take a back seat, and they would mostly stay single. This was obviously due to public opinions at the time, but also had a lot to do with censorship rules with 90s network TV. Buffy being a show mainly aimed at teens, which decided to not only make one of the main and most beloved characters queer, but also chose to keep her as such long term - was in itself, groundbreaking. The fact that it was handled with so much care, is really clear if you look at other coming out storylines we had at the time... Willow being pretty casual about it, choosing to tell Buffy of her own accord, without expecting it to be a huge dramatic moment, was already unheard of. And yeah, Buffy freaked a little, but again we have to remember the times... It was such a short moment, and then she was honestly pretty great. I also feel like the context of the whole episode matters here. The show made a very important commentary on the trend I tried describing above. Basically, Willow's long-term bf Oz, which she dated through high-school, had to breakup with her cause he went on a journey to find a cure for being a werewolf. At the start of S04 (their first year at collage), he was gone and Willow met Tara. The two became close and then in this episode, Oz comes back, having found a cure. Watching this episode air as a pre-teen, my heart automatically sank since going by what would usually happen in other shows, I expected Willow and Tara to turn out as just another queerbaiting storyline, which would now be forgotten since Oz came back. However, what ends up happening in the episode, is that Willow actually chooses Tara over him. That is literally something never before seen on TV up to that point - she had a chance to "be normal", to go back to a boy that she did love, who treated her well and truly loved her back - But she still chose Tara over him. If you weren't around in the 90s, you might not realize how unbelievable that was to watch, but trust me, it was! If you also take into account that after said episode, Willow and Tara stayed together for over 2 seasons, and even though Tara's exit was handled somewhat unfortunately (they killed her off basically), Willow went on to have another relationship with a woman in the following season - meaning, the show never went back on her coming out. They kept her queer which was great. The show also featured the first ever wlw kiss on network TV, with Willow and Tara, which again, was handled amazingly. It was purposely left out of trailers and promotion for the episode, as to not fall into said queerbaiting "trend". They put their first on-screen kiss into a dramatic episode that had nothing to do with the couple, and showed it as a totally normal part of life. In that episode they are all grieving the sudden loss of Buffy's mom, and the kiss was meant as a moment of comfort; Tara trying to calm Willow down after she breaks down crying. This was a full season after they've been together with no on-screen kisses, and so it was very clear that there was no element of queerbaiting or publicity stunts - Simply two queer women in an actual, loving, long-term relationship. As far as the acting goes, you're of course allowed not to like it, but yeah - it was pretty normal for network TV of the time, and in fact, I personally think Alyson (Willow) did an amazing job at conveying her internal conflict, without making it overly dramatic. I understand why it might be jarring when you're so used to the TV shows of 2020's, but again, as someone who watched it at the time, it was seriously incredible and paved the way for a lot of other wlw couples and characters in the early 2000s and beyond.

Joss Whedon surely has his faults, but there are a lot of things he does, or did, incredibly well, and handling Willow's sexuality was one of them.

[@GentM2015]

Maybe I can see from the eyes of someone who's never watched Buffy how you didn't get it, but her reaction to her best friend coming out was perfect. She wasn't expecting it in the least and then is strictly supportive once past the intial phase of shock. It is not about the time it came out either bc her reaction would be perfect today as well.

there’s also a great scene in Stranger Things when Will “comes out” to his brother thats kinda brief but also shows that he is getting closer to not hiding anymore and accepting that’s who he is

[@astridmocha8931]

You two are quite charismatic and well-spoken! I found this video via the Buffy content, and aim a wee bit sad you weren’t impressed by the scene. But you explained your reasoning well, so I understand where you’re coming from. I think coming from a conservative background and being older, I actually find it the most realistic out of the bunch. That initial shock, and over compensating of “that’s fine, that’s fine” and realizing “why am I acting weird, this is my dear friend” and making that sincere connection is all done within seconds. So I actually love Buffy’s acting.

[@sharris256]

There’s an episode called Family which I think threads the line of talking about queerness and homophobia through very obvious allegory. It would probably again be dated but the end speech gets me every time.

[@sybariticcupboardrat3763]

Decidedly NOT the first lesbian kiss on TV. The first on a tv show (at least in the US) was on LA Law around ten years earlier. And that's debatable. Willow and Tara MIGHT have had the first lesbian kiss between main characters in a long term relationship. Maybe.

the buffy scene when isolated like that is pretty weak but it's a good story as a whole especially since at the time they were still censoring lesbian relationships not even allowing them to kiss or hold hands or be sexual. it's okay for it to not be your cup of tea but the tea you do like exists because of the trial and errors of those before :)

[@maimurray]

Leighton’s coming out scene always gets me. It’s probably the raw emotion and how you can relate to that fear. I can relate, fully. When I found out I was a Lesbian I never said I was for a while, because I was scared to and was scared about how others would feel. But then I realized that I didn’t have to tell anyone who I didn’t want to, and then it just got easier, I think. It’s still scary sometimes, but now I can say it fully and with certainty that I am, in fact, a Lesbian and it won’t change whether I choose to say it or not.

Two other animated shows with really great coming out scenes are Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts and The Hollow.

[@davidkidd5252]

Honestly, the way you guys talked about Buffy was very correct (for someone looking back on it, all these years back). Because it was only a short clip of a longer set up. For a long running show, a progressive long running show, it was a hints here and there. I honestly want to say this was 2-3 episodes set up. Buffy’s reaction is very much of that time, freak out don’t talk about it and then just accept.

[@TheThinker2478]

I identify as asexual, and I kinda view the metaphor in the last scene a bit differently. It’s true that a feast has the connotation of being appealing, whereas she doesn’t want to have sex with anyone. But I imagine that she perceives sex as something she should want, and before this scene, she doesn’t realize that it’s okay not to want it. Therefore, there are a bunch of “appealing” options, but she doesn’t want any of them. I don’t know that she is saying that she sees others as objectively attractive, so much as she sees others who, based on those around her and what she’s seen growing up, she should be attracted to. I dunno, that’s just my two cents. Hopefully all that makes sense lol.

[@trekkie74656_]

Thank you so much and I wish you both the best future ahead of you ❤

[@ArtichokeHunter]

it's interesting to assume that awkward acting = bad acting, when the awkwardness is deliberate and the scene conveyed exactly what it was trying to convey: a character freaking out, being called on the fact that she's freaking out because she's acting weird and awkward, and denying it because she knows she shouldn't be weird about it. it's cool if some people's coming out experiences weren't awkward, but i think it's pretty normal for them to be. buffy's journey is a little like the dad in love, simon just without the toxic masculinity; both don't know how to react and make it weird initially, even though they're not actually homophobic, and then later they process better and are able to better support their loved ones.

So about Buffy, they couldnt even have Willow and Tara kiss for multiple seasons due to pressures from the studio. Very different time. I thought you'd actually be watching the scene where Buffy comes out as the slayer to her mom. Thats the finale of season 2 and was one of the premiere coded coming out moments of the 90s. It was really there for people before gay relationships or storylines could really come out. Also the acting is meant to be awkward in that scene, but more than that Joss Whedon writes characters and dialogue very odd lol, you get used to it, but a serious conversation from season 4 is gonna be an odd experience for someone who never watched his stuff lol.

Coming out is something that happens in so many different ways, that it's hard for me to rate such scenes. There are many different emotions that play a role, and you have to take into account the time these scenes were set in. In the 80's and 90's, a coming out scene wasn't common on TV or in films. Coming out or queer kissing scenes usually caused a lot of uproar (just remember what happened to Ellen when she came out in her own show. Love the wine analogy from "Shitt's Creek".

If you do anymore videos like this you should do the insatiable (Bob and Bob or Bonnie coming out to Patty) and teenage bounty hunters (sterling coming out to Blair) Oh and I really love the rating system you had on the first reacting to coming out scenes video where one of the ratings was directed by a straight man😂

Schitts creek - patricks coming outbto parents scene is a must. Sex education - Adams scene with mom Glee - kurts scene

[@akitauma2387]

i love the the scene from pose the boyfriend was right to put his foot down after his mom insulted his girl like that

[@wherearetheavacados13]

There's something so special about seeing people come out, I can feel the weight being lifted from their shoulders or something 🌈💕

[@skylarmercykilled1986]

My favorite coming out story to this day is still Santana Lopez from glee, it was heartbreaking and rewatching even more, because of the actress' passing. Please react to that one, if you haven't yet. Aside from that my favorites are Simon from love, Simon and Zoë Rivas from degrassi next class.

If you make a part 3 of this video, I would love to see Alyssa's coming out scene to her mom in The Prom! It makes me cry every time I watch it but the film is so underrated 🥲

[@carstenschultz5]

Even though the show didn’t yet know then what their trajectory would be, I love the scene in Hush in which Willow and Tara move the vending machine together.

I'm gonna weigh in here on the buffy reaction. Full disclosure it is my all time favorite series. I was newly out when this episode aired, and at the time it was it felt so awesome to be seen and heard in mainstream shows. However, Buffy's reaction did seem cringe based off her role as a defender of all human kind, even then. That said, it was an honest reflection of how reactions to coming out were at that time. Even closest friends who have no issue with gay people had that uncomfortable reaction because there was no social basis to react to. The whole gay issue as it was known then wasn't represented much mainstream, so there wasn't much education or experience with it. So basically buffy's reaction came from a perspective of a world she knew, not the world we know now. It is most definitely a reflection of how the year 2000 was VS 2023. She wasn't uncomfortable at the gay aspect, it was a reaction to the time she lived in with limited visibility into our process. NGL, i wish her reaction was more hollywood ending type, but it was honest to the time it represented. For context, born in 1983, and coming out was not a thing i dared do until the late 90's or early 2000's.

YESS,PART 2!

[@laurenelloise]

its finally hereee

[@GinnyRamone]

Yes, watch Pose! Watch Pose NOW!! There's so little out there for positive representation of trans women and this show is definitely one of the select few that is majority well done. I would also say that in my opinion, the scene where Blanca confronts Christopher's mother isn't a traditional "coming out"; in fact, I would argue that as far as coming out scenes in the show as a whole, that one matters very little. I would classify it as a "growth" scene, showing that Blanca has high enough self esteem to not put up with anyone who won't see her for who she is -- but if I say any more, I'll run the very real risk of spoiling it for you.

[@vstro_i]

There’s actually more scenes from dead end paranormal park! Earlier in the episode you watched, Norma comes out to Logs, and the main character Barney comes out to Norma in episode two and I recommend you watch both of them!

[@FilmFanaticyoutube]

There is a more better add on scene for HeartBreao High on the last episode with those 2 characters Spoilers -> When the one with short hair who was crying on the clip you showed is getting chased by Police.
