As a member of the sapphic community man I feel pretty lucky that this kind of representation is becoming more common in media, heck a lot of shows helped give me clarity on me being a lesbian, and it means so much to me and so many others as well!

so emotional about yasammy. watching that scene with yas and ben plus the realness of discovering your sexuality and all I can think about is the fact some kid out there definitely will take that to heart. especially sapphic kids who are also discovering their first crush on a girl and sapphic kids of color who have only seen white people allowed to express these feelings and kids who don’t know what they are but didn’t even know you could be like that.

jurassic is a huge franchise with extremely lacking rep. zia and kayla are great but one liners aren’t life changing. they’re fun easter eggs that don’t lose you money from conservatives. yas and sammy? their relationship can’t be cut out of the show. it was built up for four and a half seasons and they are core characters. you can’t censor them without losing the whole show. which is a huge step jurassic took.

yas and sammy are two girls of color who are encouraged to love each other. sammy is also chubby!! none of these things make them less deserving of love and every other kid is so excited to see them happy together. that means something!! to kids who are bullied for their weight, to queer kids of color who’ve never seen themselves on screen, to sapphics of all walks, to kids who just want a supportive friend group!! yasammy matter so much. it’s so meaningful to have a kids show do this and a kids show that’s part of a multi billion dollar franchise

this show would’ve been my everything if I had it as a queer kid who was weird and fat and not white. this show will be everything to a kid like that now
