Line 12:
Often classified as [[Fan Service]] or [[Fetish Fuel]], this is mostly just a [[Ratings Stunt]], calculated to get more viewers while creating a manageable amount of blowback from the [[Moral Guardians]], who, while generally disapproving of lesbianism, have a sufficient [[Double Standard]] concerning depictions of male and female homosexuality that they generally save their outrage for, you know, ''serious'' dangers to society, like ''[[Dogma]]'' or ''[[Brokeback Mountain]]''...
 
There's one other explanation for the lack of outrage over the most recent Sweeps SaphistrySapphistry, and that's that people are ''losing interest'' in women making out in prime time. Since the mid-2000's, the lesbian sweeps kiss seems to be getting increasingly diminishing returns in the ratings. The LGBT community is no longer desperate for whatever non-negative representation they can get, and critics are no longer impressed by a showrunner's "bravery" by including it. Further, when you can see far more [[Twincest|bizarre]] things on [[YouTube]] (to say nothing of [[The Internet Is for Porn|other corners]] [[Shock Site|of the Web]]), the '''Sweeps Week Lesbian Kiss''' is clearly in danger of becoming a [[Discredited Trope]].
