Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. There are also instances where both Payton and Astrid say that they weren't even sure that River was bisexual, again hinting to the idea that their love is not romantic or sexual. there is someone in my life that i love, but that love is not romantic or sexual.
Both men seem to be fluid or bi-sexual, but only Payton appears to be open about it. We can definitely see that Payton's relationship with Alice, and Rivers relationship with Astrid is a lot different to Payton and River's relationship. So I figured he might be bi, but second season rolls around and it turns out that he never was gay and kept River as a sort ‘moral compass’. “let’s dance,” river said against patyon’s mouth.The political ascent is real. However, one thing I don't exactly love about this show is that almost every character is fluid/bisexual rather than gay or lesbian. Finally, the fact that both River and Payton were able to love and be in a romantic relationship with other people (Astrid and Alice respectively) whilst also loving each other sort of hints at a different type of connection.To me it seems like Payton and River had this love, connection and the need for intimacy with each other, but they didn't know what to do with it or how to deal with it, so they just let it get physical.I think it’s also easy to take for granted that in season 1 none of these people are technically adults though in the satirical world of The Politician their problems are played quite high-stakes. But how they framed it felt more like River cared about Payton as a person, because he cared about so many people. But the idea that Payton’s threat is about making River out to be a liar means that at this high school, being open about your sexuality is the cool and righteous thing to do. Idk.
I agree with you, we decide how to interpret it. 6:42. ben platt made stephen cry for two hours straight duration: 6:39. it goes beyond just caring for him. Payton was born into a poor family, but he was adopted by Georgina Hobartwhen he was a baby. I think it adds more significance to their relationship and connection.I feel Payton was just in love with river as a person and a personality and he of course was also jealous but I don’t think he was necessarily aroused by males but I do think he is sexually aroused by women along with loving Alice.More posts from the ThePolitician community.Subreddit for the Ryan Murphy Netflix show, "The Politician" starring Ben Platt.
they dont show us many interactions with river so we'd really have to just to take it at face value since river died. They became friends but when Payton found out that River was running opposite him as Student President, he became angry. i choose to believe that payton and river romantically loved their two in different ways.I read this as a much more sexually fluid thing. If you thought that the politician was going to be about something even remotely close to a normal high school election — well, i don’t know you made it this far in the season thinking that, but “october surprise” should absolutely disabuse you of that notion. With Payton, we don’t exactly know.The following response is about romantic vs sexual attraction, and not about the show.The split attraction model (SAM), differentiating between romantic and sexual attraction is, and I hate saying this word, extremely problematic.As someone who identified using SAM for a really long time, I understand the appeal, but intentionally or not SAM hypersexualizes queer identities and props up compulsive heterosexuality.I'm completely willing to believe that some people experience split attraction, but I think it's rare, and that most people who use it are either misinformed or experiencing compulsive heterosexuality.that conversation was quite ambiguous imo (i’m doing a rewatch soon, esp this scene so i may edit my revised thoughts later) but my interpretation is that the two concluded that he wasn’t gay nor bi but pan(?) payton x river.
Queer Platonic.Damn bro you really wrote it perfectly.
They had a prior relationship- as friends and as lovers. At the start of the first season I thought Payton was gay and was hopelessly in love with River but kept Alice around for the looks of it or because society expected that from him.
payton & river | i don't know [the politician] duration: 6:42. yonki stuart 938,071 views. River continues to appear randomly throughout the season in Payton's dreams, there to give advice.
what we don't know is the lengths to which dede, her campaign advisor hadassah gold (bette midler), and payton's rival turned ally turned rival again astrid (lucy boynton) will go to challenge him.
He might be bi, as he does really care about Alice.
River kissed him back slowly, easing it deeper; his fingers twined with payton’s and he felt an incredible tenderness as he felt the slight shake to payton’s hands. Payton hobart (ben platt) of the politician, on netflix september 27, is not a real boy.or at least that’s what the show’s opening credits lead us to believe. They did imply that he wasn’t sexually attracted to River, but he could still possibly have romantic feelings for men.
