I find it endlessly amusing that an old comic about lesbian culture accidentally created such a widely used and critiqued test for media. Meanwhile I actually really like it for its original purpose: I prefer to consume media in which multiple women speak to each other about something other than a man, all else being equal.
Fr though it’s like if a gag from the L Word had become a piece of everyday media commentary where most people just assume this Shane person must be a media theorist.
