I think this us important so, a thread of things el oasis did to us:
(Feel free to correct me or add more)
- Queerbaiting: Being ambiguous & teasing about them being a married couple & making it obvious but never confirming it. Also giving us the drugged sex so we shut up but at the same time the homophobes didn't get mad.
- Erase of some sexualities. In reality this happened on VaV +
Them implying Maca had been with a woman just cos she was in prison "She isn't even a lesbian, she doesn't love you, she's just w/ you cos of the circumstances" And I was like sis please there are other sexualities besides lesbian😭 Not once has it been mention the word bisexual.
- Bury your gays trope: This one doesn't have to be explained 🤡🤡Even if they were very ambiguous with it, Zulema and Maca were attracted to girls (and each other) , we know it.
- Transphobia: As a cis girl this is not really my place, but didn't Tere made a really transphobic+
comment and they just let it hanging instead of correcting it at some point??
- Racism: Again this is not my place cos I'm white. But I think el oasis was kinda cultural appropriation. With the Mexican wedding and all... And as far as I know there wasn't any latinx involved +
in the writing of the season?? Also, Iván gave an interview and he said they chose the Mexican scenario cos of the colors and music and sumthin like that, and I was like, sis you didn't just say that 👁️👄👁️
(pls if you're a poc and see this correct me if I'm wrong)
Sexism: AND I WON'T SHUT UP ABOUT THIS. El oasis (and VaV in general) was literally an all female leads show, and yet, only two women took part on the writing and directing of it, but FOUR men.
In conclusion, there is a lot of ignorance coming from the writers and they should educate themselves. Our characters deserved better, we deserve better.
