Huge pet peeve of mine with frum serials.
It's the spiritual equivalent of replacing fat with sugar. It's no healthier, wont help you lose weight, and ultimately causes diabetes. |
The serials place too much of an emphasis on gashmius? oh please. Only when trying to point out why its wrong.

That does not relate to my post.

These two girls were not originally attracted to each other s-xually, when they became friends. They had a certain emotional connection.
It appears that they became closer and closer, kinda like a crush. I think at this point they are unhealthy, not because they are in it for s-xual reasons, but because the nature of their relationship can lead to s-xual feelings at this point. Not so much as in wanting to get into bed together, but enough to cause arousal. There are too many indicators in the articles that can lend an arousing air to them.
As so many of us know, and as someone pointed out, in a healthy relationship where two friends 'get' each other so well, it's okay to love a female friend and to enjoy a hug. After all, Hashem created us in a way that we enjoy hugging our female friends, we get a comforting from it.
However, sometimes even in a healthy relationship, and for sure in an unhealthy relationship, some can become aroused from the 'emotional connection'. Someone quoted arousal nonconcordance. It's a very real, common thing.
As adults we can certainly be intuned to that. I don't know if teens have these issues because I have no experience, but I'm sure there are.
However, would I want my teen reading this? I don't think so. I think this would trigger her if she was having these kind of issues.

I don't think the story was deliberately intended to have the implications that it seems to have, and I think that if the writers and readers are innocent enough to miss it, it shouldn't be a problem. But why should the story be there if it is about such a specific situation, and about adults, not young teens?

This story alone isn't evidence that Mishpacha Magazine's office has been invaded by lesbians, but if you turn the page, there's a story called The Rainbow Girl?

Ouch. Just googled it. I guess I’m pretty sheltered. This is BAD. Although I’m sure it was a mistake.

I like rainbows.
Speaking of which, isn't it ironic rainbows is the sign for LGBTQ pride when it was the sign Hashem used to show he destroyed them all once?
It's a bit pathetic I cannot wear, like, or use rainbows because I'll "look" gay.

The name has nothing to do with this serial that's being discussed. It's the title of the next serial, which seems to be about an out-of-the-box artistic girl with teacher issues. It's coincidence.

There are other ironies, like the Israeli Olympics being called the Maccabi games.

They responded that it's about teens, which is plainly false. It says explicitly that it's her first job out of seminary.
I can only conclude that no one at Mishpacha has read it.

The story is winding down and the problem is being resolved, with the protagonist realizing the unhealthiness of the relationship.
