Weve previously gotten hints of Carys relationship with his sexuality through the near-constant stream of microaggressions hes faced.
Over just three episodes,The Other Twohas clearly telegraphed Carys negative associations with his gayness.
Although their meeting is ostensibly about growing Carys career as a living meme, the subtext offers much more.
Its impressive that in the midst of all this commentary, the show still manages to be legitimately funny.
I mean, the eye-roll!
Kate Berlant, step on my neck.
With such overt shaming, its no surprise that Cary swings back to the take-down-this-video-immediately camp.
At this point, Cary has reached his emotional bandwidth.
Hes a reluctant icon for the gay community grappling with his own feelings of shame and repression.
Hes a gay icon!
And in this way, the video finally liberates him.
His final beat in this journey isnt as triumphant as his post-oral masturbation, unfortunately.
Despite his new liberation, he still has 20-some years of conditioning to unlearn.
Bless the comedy gods.
Whew, what a week!
This feels ominous to me, and I need more information.
It was a little dry.
Pink doesnt do bad optics.

Yeah, but Id love to do a miniseries likeFargoor something.
