The real culprit

How many young lesbians do you think watched this show vs horny straight boys?

Never watched it. Was she canonically gay? That would have been quite progressive for the time.

She was wink-wink-nudge-nudge "unconfirmed." Very close with a female companion.

My appreciation for snarky, smart-mouthed, tomboys is starting to make sense.
Natasha Lyonne hits so hard.

It's a two-sided coin. As a straight guy, watching Lucy Lawless in the Xena costume made me more hetero than ever.

And her voice. Her and Emma Stone could get me going reading War and Peace.

There are more than a few nudges about them being roommates. And as a horny teen, I was there for it.

I never watched it. I remember other kids at school talking about it, but I never watched it. Kind of wished I did now.
Time to sail the high seas. It gets gayer with each episode IIRC. Like longing stares and shit.

DISAPPOIINTEEDD!!!
A masterclass in acting. A true thespian.

Fuck, that's why!

Yeah, we all had a little growing to do as preteens. I tend not to hold it against purple.
holding it against green though is totally valid.

People liked to joke about Xena being lesbian back in the days.

Oh boy, when I watched Spartacus my childhood dreams came true.

don't they literally kiss near the end?

I'm a fairly cishet man and I think she's responsible for my appreciation of queer lit. I'm definitely a little gayer than I otherwise would be.
You misunderstand the math equation, much like how there is nothing manlier than two men (Femboys not accounted for due to unstable variables) there is nothing straighter that someone heterosexual appreciating homosexual tendencies of the opposite sex. Mind you this is operating on simplified variables, trans and bi folks make the math far far messier and I shall leave such matters of gayness and straightness to others who aren't me.

I seem to remember Xena doing the exact opposite of turning me gay

Oh definitely 🥰 I wanted to be her sidekick/roommate so badly.

Yo I should give this show another go. I remember watching it when I wasn't even a teenager, thinking it was kind of silly. But maybe it's good as an adult?
I'll give it a few episodes maybe.
it's very deliberately silly. and it's fun as hell. i watched it as an adult a couple years ago and to me it surprisingly holds up. the characters are enjoyable in a campy way, the actors are charismatic, the ideas are interesting (certainly more so than Hercules), and the action scenes—while clearly suffering from a limited budget—are actually top notch in concept. they were taking all their notes from hong kong action movies and it shows. they even nod to it by eventually taking xena "back" to the show's version of china.

Cool, I'll give it a go then I think. My wife also grew up with it so it might be a good nostalgic way to connect over something "new".

Out another diverse chick in it and make her gay and lame.
Ftfy.
That's not the quote from the episode though..
