queerer than we can suppose

Okay look.

- Bix does at one point imply that Cassian sleeps around, and he just rolls his eyes like 'you're not funny'.

- Maarva accuses him of it during their argument, and he reacts with impatience -- "oh come on. Please" -- but only lashes out at the mention of Bix.

- Bix indicates that she and Cassian dated at some point. Both of them seem bemused at the idea that they might do so again.

- He is briefly seen naked in a hotel suite with Windi, although in separate rooms. They have a brief conversation that's apparently about grocery shopping, which does not especially suggest a reckless one night stand.

- NONE of his other interactions with women are even remotely sexual. He responds politely but half-heartedly to the club hostess's flirting in ep 1. He doesn't react to Skeen warning him off Cinta, and when he tries his standard I-am-just-a-cute-boy-next-door bit on her, Vel gets aggressively jealous and he doesn't do it again with either of them.

- He does engage in some superficial Bro Banter in response to Timm's jealous probing, but what he actually says boils down to 'Bix doesn't need protecting from me, if you're feeling insecure you should talk to *her* about it'.

The fact that, at 26, he has been sexually active at all does not prove ANYTHING about his general habits or attitudes. The next person who implies, for good or ill, that Cassian is some kind of profligate womanizer I will EAT LIKE A HARD-BOILED EGG. DO NOT TEST ME.

Edit: seriously the thing with Windi is so damn CUTE and domestic? like there's absolutely nothing horny about that scene other than "those sure are two very pretty people lacking clothes". It's SO OBVIOUSLY about Cassian seeking out human sapient contact because he's had to cut off everyone he knows and cares about.

- Mon Mothma is not more privileged than Luthen Rael.

- If the definition of "girlboss" is "detains and tortures other women", I'm not sure why we're still using that term as a positive.

- Refugees struggling to provide for their families are not, as a rule, motivated by greed.

- A show that is extremely good at being a dark political thriller in space is not automatically superior to shows that are good at being heartwarming pulp adventures in space.

- Thank you for your time.
