Never watched it. Was she canonically gay? That would have been quite progressive for the time.

She was wink-wink-nudge-nudge "unconfirmed." Very close with a female companion.
Yeeeeaaaaahhhh that show had a disproportionate influence on me growing up.
I never watched it. I remember other kids at school talking about it, but I never watched it. Kind of wished I did now.
Can confirm. Fucking loved her back in the day
If anything, Xena turned me more straight
I'm a fairly cishet man and I think she's responsible for my appreciation of queer lit. I'm definitely a little gayer than I otherwise would be.
I remember seeing a comment somewhere wishing they would reboot Xena, but lamenting that they would probably make it "too woke" if they did
I don't think there's much they could do to make Xena more "woke" if they tried.
It’s like this one guy that asked “what’s a run of X-Men that has no woke messaging “. Like dude…
"Haha! Good one! ...wait, you're serious!?"
If you don't think they could make it more woke you clearly lack in imagination
You could make it more woke by replacing Kevin Sorbo with an actual human being, but that only affects the crossovers.
No replace him with a hamburger, no lettuce, extra pickle, grilled onions but not quite grilled right so you can still kinda taste the raw, and a dorito bun
DISAPPOIINTEEDD!!!
Kevin sorbo was a joke even at the time when he was relevant.i swear his movement to the right was simply so he could eat, because nobody has cared that he still exists in 30+ years.
I only remember his name, because Sorbo is a brand of assorted knicknacks, like hairbands , cleaning supplies, kitchen utencils and whatnot. My mom used to work there. https://sorbo.com/en
Also, I hope that someone sends him that quote so that he knows how much of a nothing person he is.
Who sends messages to nobody..?!
Put a chick in it and make her gay.
Out another diverse chick in it and make her gay and lame.
Ftfy.
People who talk like that have only seen pictures from the show, or they watched it a little bit when they were a child and don't remember 99%.
Because Xena and Gabrielle did pretty much everything except the physical deeds. And it was recently confirmed in a comic, where they kiss and say they love eachother.
Hell, you could probably show them the old show with the parts set in modern times and they'd blow their gasket. Becase the reincarnations are the opposite genders for a while.
"recently confirmed in a comic" doesn't really matter; because that's exactly how things get retconned in.
I mean, you're right, but not because of the comic.
Yo I should give this show another go. I remember watching it when I wasn't even a teenager, thinking it was kind of silly. But maybe it's good as an adult?
I'll give it a few episodes maybe.
It's still silly. But enjoyable from time to time.
I can't believe that, as a preteen, I thought she was "too manly"
Because a) no she wasn't, she was a straight knockout and b) that's sexist AF wtf preteen me.
She probably could have broken you in half and preteen you wasn't into that
Yeah, we all had a little growing to do as preteens. I tend not to hold it against purple.
Eh, our tastes change with age. I remember as a teen thinking chest hair on men was icky, but in my 20s I began to love it.
It sounds like you successfully matured, and now you may reap the benefits of Xena's sexy nature.
As a straight dude it just made me like bratty women.
I'm a straight dude and it turned me into a lesbian.
My appreciation for snarky, smart-mouthed, tomboys is starting to make sense.
Wanna hang out? Lol
Huh.
Natasha Lyonne hits so hard.
I mean... Xena, Calypso, and Gabrielle confirmed I'm straight. But at least Joxer taught me the kind of guy to find as a best friend?
Oh, and always keep any women I care about away from Autolycus.
This isn’t where I parked my car
If Calypso was a boy call me gay all day.
I'm the same way with Thor. I'm not gay at all, but id let it happen. He's a sexy man regardless of interests.
When I wanted to be Gabby.
