A Underrated Web Series: Bulk The Series

As a bear, I find it difficult to find authentic bear portrayal on mainstream television.There are numerous grounds for this discriminatory tragedy.To begin with, no one in Hollywood understands what a "bear community" is.Yes, they recognize our appearance and may recognize a few of our terminology, but they are unfamiliar with our angst, humor, or originality.Second, many homosexual TV shows, such as Noah's Ark, Queer As Folk, Will & Grace, and others, seem to follow a basic LGBT aesthetic.Don't get me wrong: I think it's great.All of the series on this list are my favorites.

They laid the path for today's gay content explosion, but they only represented a small segment of the homosexual community, with twinks, toned men, and maybe a muscle stud or two.They didn't describe myself or the many chubby, hairy, bearded bears that were watching, but rather exclude us.That takes me to my final point: marketability.

Despite the fact that it is 2020, the year of our bear king, the culture and Hollywood still do not regard huge homosexual men as sex symbols, at least not sufficiently enough to warrant their own series or plot.They are so entrenched in their ways that taking a chance on a homosexual bear project is difficult for them.If Hollywood won't give us a chance, the Internet will, in the form of a web series, which is where I first saw a TV show devoted to the gay bear subculture.

Bulk: The Series was the first bear episodic series I'd ever seen, and it had a significant impact on my life. Finally, a series in which I saw myself in the characters, witnessing bears of various shapes and sizes and their many struggles, such as dealing with ex-boyfriends, attempting to start over, dealing with a crazy roommate, and even discussing weight.It was invigorating.

Many people, not only bears, can relate to the experience of trying to forget about an ex.For a self-produced series, the high-quality scenes and production quality are outstanding. Bulk demonstrates how to do it correctly.
