She was cool with fucking the brain slug when it was inside the man she describes as her brother, though.

    I think it is somewhat unfair to “demand” of Beverly to be okay with her partner unexpectedly being a woman now. If she isn’t into that, unfortunate, but whom people are attracted to is very much their personal business, just as whom they identify as.

      you know, in any other situation I’d agree but the whole episode was framing this narrative where she gets past that. was just a super weird heel-turn to go from “okay I can fuck a very long-lived parasite without knowing if their host consents” to “okay I can fuck the parasite in Ryker without Ryker consenting even though I see him as my brother” to “a femme presenting host??? THAT’S too far”

      and then she was mad and weirdly condescending about it. being upset about the premise is kind of dogshit, after all that

        if she isn’t attracted to a female body, then her saying no is understandable.

        its not possible for a lot of people to just turn off what makes their hoo-haa happy. and holding someone responsible for what they can’t control seems unfair.

          obviously. it’s just funny that it was somehow Goblin’s fault and that she was fine with body swapping up until that point
