you know what I love about the sex lives of college girls? it knows when to create drama and when not and instead shows us how helpful understanding can be, specially in female friendships. how Kimberly had this thing with Nico and didn’t tell Leighton and when she finds out, does she get mad at her? no! she immediately wants nico to apologize and looks after Kimberly. when Whitney tells the team about the affair do they blame her? no! they support her and make her understand it’s not her fault. when she tells her mother? same! when Bela decides to talk about the assault do they not believe her? the girls all support her and same with the girls at the comedy club. and Eric coming to apologize and making sure he does better next time and kicking him out. and on and on.

what I mean is, I was on the edge of my seat in this scenes worried that it would create unnecessary drama because I feel that’s how this kind of scenes usually go but no they surprise me and it felt good and real and important.

First Kill does not center or even give quarter to gross men. The one gross man we see is Cook from the Guild who just isn't actually hitting on or creeping on Calliope but he's got a vibe like he would if he got the chance. And he is unequivocally gone in the ep after he is introduced. Thank you Cal and subsequently, Juliette!

But even in the scenes between teenagers, they literally have the song Slumber Party playing in the background with lyrics about cunnilingus, but when Ben turns Juliette's spun bottle towards Calliope, there is no whooping and hollering, no lewd comments about wanting to watch, or complaints about the game now being unfair because it landed on someone else. Everyone just kinda goes "Alright, cool." And backs off smiling. It centers a lot of things I love about this show.

Consent. No one is forcing Juliette to kiss someone she's uncomfortable with, especially as a lesbian but also in general.

A complete and total LACK of homophobia. Like these kids don't bat an eye about Juliette and Cal going in the closet to kiss. They're just there to have fun and no one is under any impression that coercion or skeevey commentary is fun.

There's not even the for some reason obligatory in this kind of media creepy "misunderstood" white guy.

The centered narratives are for the girls', a balance between both of their experiences in the story.

People saying it caters to the male gaze are not watching the show. There isn't even a fictional character to whom this show is catering. The girls are in their world. No one is watching.
