‘Bromance’ Is Not Only Homoerotic, It’s Complicated

We completely agree.  And it is with great pleasure that we say this because the writer in question happens to be Gabe Delahaye, who, as we’ve mentioned, we would gladly bone have a bromance with.

Gabe notes that the show, for all its tongue-in-cheek homoerotic asides and its cast of requisite reality TV fame whores, actually delves into a ton of heavy emotional territory which isn’t usually the purview of man-focused television.  Not only that, but it gets at a shifting paradigm in Gen Y masculinity… to wit:

[The show suggests] a very new tendency in modern masculinity in which it’s OK and even GOOD to have a certain playfulness about your sexuality, but it’s an incredibly fine line, and one that you have to constantly be looking at while you walk it in case you accidentally step over.

In other words, it’s no Paris Hilton’s New BFF–maybe because Brody isn’t a completely brain-free box of hair with nothing to offer the world besides herpes? Just a thought.

Anyway, see for yourself:
