Ah, the "straight relationships are illegal" fandoms....

"Quick! The showrunners just introduced an opposite sex couple immediately after three same sex ones! We have to make one character bi and the other pan!"

"Oh my gosh! The mean-girl character just started sucking up to a kid she used to be friends with who has since become her social superior in the most transparent power grab of all time! It must mean she had a lesbian crush the entire time!"

siiiiiiiigh

Why is it though that queer relationships seem somehow watchable/readable, but straight relationships are just not interesting?

Obviously this will not be a universal experience. But I'm straight BTW, love the opposite gender, just find those plots almost universally dull.
