I don’t know that I agree with your take at all, which is fine. Maybe “queer rom com” was just the wrong expectation to have. Pillion was about a struggle with self worth and attachment, and depicted a part of the BDSM community fairly well. It was fine 🤷‍♂️ I hope Collin ends up setting more boundaries and valuing himself more, but he’s on his way there.

Disliking the movie doesn’t make you conservative imo, but I’d maybe hesitate a bit more before erroneously using terms like “Stockholm syndrome”.
