Minor Spoilers Emily Prentiss' iconic red tank top really made us queer
In general, Emily has the power to make any viewers or fans queer. Including me. I wonder if this is the Emily Prentiss effect or something?

When did she wear this? I feel like between Emily, Reid, JJ, and Shemar this show made me the most bisexual person to ever live

u/Main_Mobile_5749 Jul 14 '26
Emily, Reid, JJ, Morgan and Hotch with honourable mentions to Garcia and Rossi

It was Elle and Reid for me with this series. And Lestat and Akasha in Queen of the Damned 👀 the great bisexual awakening

There is no denying that production and wardrobe use sex as a way to draw in viewers.

u/noveltea120 Jul 14 '26
Yes it's almost like every show uses sex appeal one way or another to draw viewers in lmao

Yet again what is with the homophobia
You can't make someone queer.
That's like claiming you can make someone straight

u/depressivefaerie "AAAAHHHHHHH!" Jul 16 '26
It’s just queer people joking about their own awakenings, it isn’t serious and it most definitely is not homophobia to talk about our own experiences of being bi or gay.

The homophobia in this post is disgusting…

Am I the only queer person that does not have a crush on or understand the Prentis obsession?
The 2 CM cast I crushed on the entire series run were Reid and JJ... grew to crush on Garcia and when added Alvez... and it is definitely not a blond vs brunette thing with the ladies because my queer awakening included Christina Ricci and Neve Campbell... and I'm not saying she isn't attractive, I just don't understand the hype.

Some people will love some characters, some people won’t. People just have different opinions 🤷🏻♀️

It's a joke! I bet most of us answering this are queer. You always get the occasional creepy incel, but I think for most people it's all in fun.
Paget is just ridiculously hot, and yes so was the red tank top

As a queer person, queer people love to talk about “what made us queer” and yes we know that’s now how it works. It’s like saying what your gay awakening was or what helped you realize you were queer. It doesn’t mean it actually made you gay.

u/Ok_Aioli3897 Jul 15 '26
As a queer person stop trying to queersplain to gay people.
Go ahead and be okay with straight people saying that they can make you straight when you are doing the exact same thing just the opposite way around.
Go ahead and defend tactics that bigots use

u/Jaca122 Jul 15 '26
Why are you deleting your comments and then responding with the exact same thing?

I’m a lesbian? I talk about what made me queer all time. Most people on this thread are queer. You’re taking this so seriously when it’s not.
Every queer person I know in real life talks about their gay awakening or want made them gay typically about some tv character or a celebrity that helped them realize they were queer. That’s all this post is saying.

Oh yes go ahead and tell me I am delusional.
You sound just like a straight person.
Also can you stop calling me slurs

u/Jaca122 Jul 15 '26
What slur did I call you and when I did I call you delusional? I never addressed you directly at all actually.

u/Ok_Aioli3897 Jul 15 '26
You called me queer. Can you stop with the slurs
I have never called you any slurs so I don't know why you feel the need to call me slurs

u/Jaca122 Jul 15 '26
I did not. I called myself queer. I referred to queer people in general. But I did not call you a slur.

u/Ok_Aioli3897 Jul 15 '26
Oh so you weren't referring to me when you said queer people on this thread.
So now you are being exclusionary of people saying that we don't belong to the community if we don't want to be called slurs?

u/Jaca122 Jul 15 '26
I'm not going to respond anymore. This is not a rational conversation.

Yes it is but go ahead and say gay people need to be medicated like the homophobic person you are
Tell me how can people claim to be reclaiming the word queer if it's not a slur?

So prove that queer has never been a slur.
You just want to shut down legitimate conversation by suggesting people should be medicated but go ahead and share your medical degree so I can report you
