I was watching a video about The Evolution of Queerbaiting by Rowan Ellis and then re-watching the older video about queer-coding, and the latter video mentioned a comic called Check, Please! as a positive example of queer coding. I recognized the name since I had seen it on the fandom lists of a few people here on Dreamwidth, so I got curious, and googled it.
Despite being a Finn, I've never been into ice hockey (which is pretty much considered treason, along with not liking Finnish baseball), but the comic had a cute art style and the main character seemed interesting. So I started reading it.
And I can't even.
This. Is. Amazing.
Just wanted to let y'all know. Going back to reading it now.
