The Yassification of Darren Criss; Or, The Darren Crissification of Yass Last Two Braincells

Many love him, some hate him, most people don't know who he is--this episode is about actor and singer Darren Criss! There has been controversy in the past few years about whether or not Darren is a queerbaiter, especially because he has repeatedly taken acting roles for gay characters. Darren is yet another victim in a long line of celebrities, both minor and major, who have been subject to the horseshoe theory-esque rhetoric of queerbaiting accusations, where straight men who deviate from traditional gender norms but Aren't Gay are automatically queerbaiting. We explore this in depth, starting with their own origin stories of why the fuck they care about this guy. They touch on everything from whether things that aren't gay can actually be gay, if being an Aquarius makes a man more likely to be accused of queerbaiting, and how rare it is that Darren Criss actually is half Asian, unlike the cast of iCarly and multiple other famous men who are either Jewish or simply white. This episode is truly a wild ride and for that we are both sorry and also very much not! You're welcome freaks!! Happy new year ;)
