I love Bowie too, but Raj is honestly some of the best gay rep I’ve seen in a while. He’s not a stereotype or anything, he’s just an average dude, and his crush on Bowie is like how anyone would have a crush, gay or straight y’know
If anything, he's probably one of the last characters that someone would expect to be gay, which is good, cause not every gay dude is a walking stereotype
@@flamethefurry3516 On the other hand, what I like about this show is that even though Bowie IS a walking stereotype, he's characterized by so much more than that. Like being a master manipulator and strategist.

yeah it's super common for mlm ships in mainstream media to be like the RAY OF SUNSHINE and the ANGSTY EMO, or like the whole "blue gay/red gay" thing. neither are always a horrible combination but specifically with the first trope it's pretty tired and too easy. i like that tdi did something different
@@davi_5142 I mean (assuming you’re straight) that’s pretty normal and healthy as long as you aren’t attacking queer people. It’s good to be more invested in your own life then others.
my favorite part about bowie and raj’s relationship is how supportive wayne is. he’s just excited for his buddy to be happy and who he is. I also especially love the “or bi” part. so many shows and movies refuse to acknowledge the idea of bisexuality at all and as a bisexual it was so nice to hear wayne acknowledge that raj liking bowie doesn’t necessarily mean he only likes men
I know this isn't something we even think about, but hearing the word "gay" used in an animated television show is such a big deal. there's a lot of power in it, in wielding the identity instead of just having a character "like boys" or whatever. one of the better ways i've seen a gay character and gay romance develop in an animated show.
I mean, for Americans and over here in the UK, yeah it’s a big deal. 16teen did say gay back in 2010 but that was for a one off character and her girlfriend. But I like it. This wasn’t stretched out, the relationship didn’t complicate stuff and it definitely felt organic. Plus, you didn’t need to make Bowie or Raj aliens to do it. And Wayne is just happy that his best bro finally found someone and knows he’s going to be the first person Raj comes out to.
I know right? It was amazing hearing gay and bi and having this relationship dynamic in a kids cartoon…for kids! I mean I know it’s been done before but it makes me so happy to see rep like this. This show is yet again ahead of its time.
Raj & bowie are like the best-confirmed couple. The most responsible and healthy thought process in Total Drama history. So many couples in TD rush into things, and it ends up biting them in the butt, so this was very mature. I'm glad Bowie never backstabbed Raj or anything and was more than okay with going on a date after the show Those 2 are def my favs
@MiloMondoI don’t think it would be considered betrayal since betrayal is with malicious intent and Bowie Cleary cares for ran, Bowie did tell raj that he would have to turn on him on top of that I think it was good that Bowie put their relationship on pause because if they rushed into things it probably would have turned out worse like Gwen/Trent
Bowie is one of the few characters whose actually put a potential relationship on the backseat unlike the other past characters which usually kicked them in the face
It makes sense in-universe too, these kids would have been really little when the first season came out, so they'd have been able to watch the old episodes and learn what NOT to do!
@@RockyGems Bowie mentioned he trained for this. He probably watched a lot of old episodes to make sure he had all bases covered, which is probably why his social game is better than previous villains. He's basically the opposite of Courtney, who had a terrible social game and often let her emotions and relationship drama get the better of her.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 Exactly, he did a lot of scheming, underhanded tactics like Heather, but didn't act overly-friendly as to be suspicious like Alejandro did.

@@Total.drama.fan.forever Nah Emma and Chase will probably be like the Bridgette and Geoff of the season They're constantly making out so then they get voted out
I doubt that would happen, mainly because this ship is generally well received. If anything, I think its more likely that Z and Chase would get together (which I don't think is very likely). The fandom has changed since the Gwenken days. Most people don't want a repeat of that mess, and the creative team is DEFINITELY aware of that fact.
Okay, we all love Bowie and Raj, obviously. But, I completely forgot when Zee straight up grabbed chase’s ass and started complementing how solid he was. Oh, and Emma knew there was something happening there, and she was jealous, 100%. 😌
@@bunsealu maybe he thought he was bi, then they broke up because raj wanted to explore himself, but later found out he was gay??? Idk man just spit balling
I'm so happy with how Bowie and raj went, they made them smart and very healthy about it, I'm super excited to see them in the second season and I hope they don't ruin it. Also I love that almost every episode has something gay in it
we all thought, thats what the writers wanted us to think at first. at first i thought those two hockey players were going to play the same role as ezekiel did in the first season, you know? say something homophobic and then get eliminated because of that.
@Gabe Mark baby get over yourself 💀 nothing is wrong with being gay or any part of the lgbtq+, also you clicked this video so maybe you’re curious and that’s okay
@Gabe Mark The definition doesn't include gay people, and it shouldn't because that is fucking stupid. Get over yourself and live your life instead of worrying about how other people live theirs.
Y'know I thought for a minute that at some point during the game that Bowie was going to end up using/backstabbing Raj. But nope, that ended up not happening at all thank god. Also kudos to Bowie for being responsible and straightforward with Raj, since he told him that he'd be willing to start the relationship after the game and also giving him a "heads up" that there might be a time where he'll need to "kick him in the teeth" since they're in a competition which I'm glad Raj was very understanding of.
According to Terry McGuin, that was supposed to be a plot line at one point, but the writing team didn't like it. Honestly, I'm really glad they dropped it. Their dynamic is so healthy and cute!
total drama is always for the women though, there's only like 1 to 3 male character guys I like, or is good inspiration to me, the rest fit in a stereotype
It's so sad how nobody ever wants to acknowledge the fact that just like how Wayne was supportive of Raj, Emma was supportive of Bowie's thing with Raj... yes Emma and Bowie might not be friends anymore but hopefully they patch things
I agree, I loved Emma and Bowie friendship and the fact she was so supportive. Sadly, they are not friends anymore, I hope they will return friends in next season
This new season looks like the most naturally inclusive show ever, having good black, lgbtq+, disabled, and inter racial couple representation. And I love how supportive everyone is, makes me so happy.
@@gabrielrodriguesmilech3605Yeah..but only so they could make stereotypes out of them. I’m surprised Noah didn’t have a stereotypical Indian accent. Point is in 2023 characters are black and Asian without that being a plot point or..idk something that’s made a spectacle.
@@gabrielrodriguesmilech3605 They are all stereotypes, what do you mean?? Heather is a mean girl stereotype, Gwen is a loner/goth girl stereotype, Lindsey is the dumb blonde, Tyler is the dumb athletic, Harold is the geek, they are ALL stereotypes. Their isn’t any one character that isn’t stereotyped. So what do you mean?? Your point makes no sense.
Bowie is so amazing this guy literally have no flaws and he did something that no other cast member could have did not to start a relationship while they're in the game unlike some other people Alejandro Heather Gwen Zoey Mike Owen and Izzy they should all learn something from this guy plus anybody think this is the first time we had a hero and a villain in love and it's not a one-sided thing or just a trick to get into a alliance
What I'm saying about Heather and Alejandro is like they couldn't have hit the same thing while they're still in the game same one of the game's over we'll get together
"Tdi is becoming woke!1!1!1" Cody and Noah technically kissed in the first season. Gay people ≠ Woke. I also find it funny that the people who are hating on this, clicked on this video. So they're just wasting their time hating for no reason.
I know we all love wayne bein the best supportive friend but OMG emma is so supportive too she is literally me when my gay besties talk about crushes 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
@drmanhattan5970 yeah and even in the older seasons, characters who were or are supposedly "gay" or LGBT overall weren't open about it, only hints were dropped for people who understood them. All around, this season gave more representation than any other show I've seen.
@@Alrightythen-es4gv None of those characters had any wholesome relationships, they were just manipulators (Alejandro and Heather), completely crazy (Courtney) or so stupid that the writers constantly had to make everyone else dumber to compensate (Scott). But yeah Bowie is a real fun antagonist which the show desperately needed after how awful Scott was and how they just reused Heather and Alejandro in all-stars.

Wayne supportive king. Also Emma was very supportive and I loved it. Loved Bowie and Raj ❤ ps. You jumped the scene when the campers return in the last episode, Raj says hi to Bowie and he smiles
Omg Same! But not gonna lie, that was a smart play on Bowie's end, since it helped him create an alliance with Emma since he saved her from getting eliminated.
@@schemar17 not unless they give the alejandro arc, where he manipulates every woman into doing what he wants with his looks and getting them booted off
I am sincerely very glad that there is Raj in the series, because against the background of Bowie (which is literally a collection of all sterotypes about gays), it is very nice to see a guy who is just a person, and not a stereotype on legs
I knew from the second I heard there was going to be a LBGT relationship that one character would be a gay stereotype and the other would not. When the designs were released, I was like "Which one is the stereotype?" and then I was like "That's him, right there!" when I saw Bowie. So I was totally sure he'd be one of them, but everyone was predicting the other would be Caleb, or the pair would be the Hockey Bros. And everyone was half right. I was very pleased the other gay rep came from a typically masculine guy.
Wayne supporting Raj is already a great friend, but not wanting to reveal that he knew so Raj can tell him himself is literally so sweet I wish I had a friendship like that 😭😭
I thought they were going to overdo it with LGBTQ scenes and all to acomodate to modern times but I was pleasantly surprise it was not the case, or it felt so natural I did not care. Despite Bowie introductory line being about how he is TD first openly gay character, like he was reading his own character descripction on a wiki, he went to become my favorite character of the new gen, alongside Scary Girl. The Hockey bros, Ripper, Julia, maybe Damian were other I liked as well. Glad he made it to the finale, he deserve it and earned it, and given how finales work on TD i'm relieved there is an equally canon ending were he wins, hope that is the one that airs o my country eventually.
Idk why People was worried about Bowie and his personality, ok he may look and act like the steryotipe, but i don't think there is something wrong with it. He is strategic, intelligent and competitive, and can also be sweet and somewhat romantic. I like that, despite his strategies, he is not a bad person and he does not fall into the role of the villain as such. And how much he cares about Raj 😊😊
yes i totally agree! he was a stereotype but literally every total drama character is a stereotype of something! bowie was a really fun character and he was a good player in the game
This season was great I was questioning it due to thinking the trailers gave to much away but the season really surprised me with all the Plots the trailer didn't show in the slightest
I agree! my only real problems I have with this season is that it's short but fast paced, less dramatic and thrilling towards the finals, Lauren (Scary girl) being voted out over Ripper and also the episode that was mostly focused around farts, other than that, it was a pretty fun watch!
Wayne and Emma being supportive wingpeople towards their respective friends is my favorite thing,, (don’t talk to me about Emma and Bowie’s friendship being nonexistent at the moment, I’m still emotionally hurt about that :,)) id like to imagine the two teaming up to watch Raj and Bowie going on a date and prob try to make things work behind the scenes during those dates,, :00 (We stan our king Wayne in this household,,)
Omg I was devastated to find out Raj and his amazing straight ally bro was kicked off so early. Raj’s relationship with Bowie was the best part of the show. And I was really wanting his friend to tell everyone he’s gay only for him to get upset by that but both coming to an understanding in the end of the show…which I know is corny lol.

@Milomondo im sure theyll patch it up next season...i hope
@@Base-The-Ace I also hope Wayne and Raj get more differences in their personalities outside of the gay one and the straight one
as someone who loves Emma, I agree.
The shark being supportive of the relationship too lmao
4:54 the shark being an ally made me howl! 🤣
For real! I loved that part XD
Fr that was lushhh xx
The fact there's more gay moments in this season than the other 6 combined is 💀💀👌👌 Stan bowie
Bowie FR came into this season to upstage all the people from the past.
@drmanhattan5970 yeah and even in the older seasons, characters who were or are supposedly "gay" or LGBT overall weren't open about it, only hints were dropped for people who understood them. All around, this season gave more representation than any other show I've seen.
Idk if it has more gay moments than Season 1 bc that season was hella gay too
Finally, a "representation" that isn't a stereotype
Well it certainly starts that way but they do build on it nicely.
5:27 " All Kinds of Nuts! "
*"Pretty Sure."*
5:40 “the shark?!?! Did he also make out with the shark too” HELP-
HELP
Probably
The gay or bi panic is soo cute, never in my life would I think they'd have this happen💗😭
I hate when shows have to adapt a agenda
@@goofball__ what 💀
3:52 I love the Bowie's laugh being compared to Scott lmao 😂
8:57 vomiting gay is an ability i need irl asap
This is me when I saw this ship
Basically, you want learn how to use the Buster Beam.
Undertale ability
oh, to be puking pride. super freaking coolio.
I thought I was gonna love Raj and Bowie but I ended up loving Wayne. He’s the best friend we all want and need
Honestly not gonna lie I loved this couple Bowie was a villian but he was a fun one and I enjoyed him and Raj
@@Alrightythen-es4gv None of those characters had any wholesome relationships, they were just manipulators (Alejandro and Heather), completely crazy (Courtney) or so stupid that the writers constantly had to make everyone else dumber to compensate (Scott).
But yeah Bowie is a real fun antagonist which the show desperately needed after how awful Scott was and how they just reused Heather and Alejandro in all-stars.
7:09 His face just screams "Who just interrupted my kiss?"
FR
I expected to dislike Wayne but oh I take that back!! He is such a good friend and oh so supportive of his gay bro Raj and it makes me very happy!! 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈💖💓
why did you expect to dislike Wayne?
Nah its disgusting this nonsense is embarassing
@@K.B.D0learn to spell embarrassing first, and also this isn't nonsense, it's a part of real life.
Finding disgust in something that naturally happens just shows you have very little knowledge.
@@roseslime713" Learn how to spell learn first" typing errors happen there fixed🤣
@@roseslime713 Nothing naturally just happens its dependant on how your grow up/your home enviroment but instead of seeking help to sustain such urges you have people embracing it which is the problem the sinner is loved not the sin
4:00 i love how he's making sure Bowie doesn't think theres something between him and Wayne LMAO
Lol I never noticed that-😭
“Slow and steady wins the race!”
“He’s right!!”
“Nah guys we should pick up the pace”
“🥰🥰🥰.. nvm calebs right. MOVEE!!!”
I grew up with the og Total Drama way back in 2000's. I was a loyal fan to all Stars. The fact we just now got a queer character brings such a smile to my face.
I'm so excited to see how their relationship evolves in the next season
I really hope they don't ruin it like they did with Gwen and Trent or Duncan and Courtney...
@@BassiKun99 I hope so too, but I'm optimistic because I think they've learned from their mistakes, and plus, the writers this season are different
BOWIES LAUGHING AT JULIA DOES REMIND ME OF SCOTT NICE REFERENCE😂😂
Wayne supportive king. Also Emma was very supportive and I loved it. Loved Bowie and Raj ❤
ps. You jumped the scene when the campers return in the last episode, Raj says hi to Bowie and he smiles
“We should pick up the pace”
“Caleb’s right. MOVEEEE👹” 😂
Bowie and Raj, hm? I’m gonna enjoy this season. And Wayne is one of the greatest friends anyone could have. Supportive King 100%
Raj and Bowie are so cute and a good couple we stan Rowie
8:57 ah yes, gay vomit 💀✨
Are you a part of the OSC?
Bowie did think Caleb was cute, but I was surprised Bowie stabbed Caleb in the back.
Omg Same! But not gonna lie, that was a smart play on Bowie's end, since it helped him create an alliance with Emma since he saved her from getting eliminated.
Everyone thinks Caleb is cute but looks isn't worth the million
@@schemar17 not unless they give the alejandro arc, where he manipulates every woman into doing what he wants with his looks and getting them booted off
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 OH! Every women AND Bowie. He’s in the race to:D
@@Impending_Carpal_Tunnel yeah, I know total drama won’t do it though
I am sincerely very glad that there is Raj in the series, because against the background of Bowie (which is literally a collection of all sterotypes about gays), it is very nice to see a guy who is just a person, and not a stereotype on legs
I knew from the second I heard there was going to be a LBGT relationship that one character would be a gay stereotype and the other would not. When the designs were released, I was like "Which one is the stereotype?" and then I was like "That's him, right there!" when I saw Bowie. So I was totally sure he'd be one of them, but everyone was predicting the other would be Caleb, or the pair would be the Hockey Bros. And everyone was half right. I was very pleased the other gay rep came from a typically masculine guy.
Wayne supporting Raj is already a great friend, but not wanting to reveal that he knew so Raj can tell him himself is literally so sweet I wish I had a friendship like that 😭😭
2:31 we Stan a supportive king
This was good, shoutout to Wayne for being supportive and an overall good friend.
"Your bum is like statue hard dude, like I'm holding two five pin bowling balls..."
"Are you sniffing me dude?"
Chase and Emma are the new Geoff and Bridgette 9:36
They will probably be early boots next season
X3 frr
"i think that was... i feel... huh.."
and
"that felt... right...!"
just melts my heart. the way they look at each other in the last episode EEEK
Wayne is the HOMIE, he is so supportive of his friend no matter what.
2:05
This wasn't even Bowie being gay, it was just him being a literal menace
I thought they were going to overdo it with LGBTQ scenes and all to acomodate to modern times but I was pleasantly surprise it was not the case, or it felt so natural I did not care.
Despite Bowie introductory line being about how he is TD first openly gay character, like he was reading his own character descripction on a wiki, he went to become my favorite character of the new gen, alongside Scary Girl. The Hockey bros, Ripper, Julia, maybe Damian were other I liked as well.
Glad he made it to the finale, he deserve it and earned it, and given how finales work on TD i'm relieved there is an equally canon ending were he wins, hope that is the one that airs o my country eventually.
9:14 he’s just gayly filling his nails
Aww even the sharks find bowie and Raj an adorable couple :)
i'm literally crying wayne is all that is right in the world i would KILL for him
5:09 “I got kissed by a very fine boy”🤭👑🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Somehow, I expected the ongoing dynamic to be Raj and Wayne together.. Neat seeing Wayne as supportive friend to Raj's love.
3:01 this was like the weirdest moment in the episode
Where are you finding these episodessssss
@@niccit6960 search up "queens from island" they got a video with links to all the episodes in the desc of the vid
Fr
Raj being so genuinley confused about himself and then wayne being so genuinley happy about it 😭
Wayne te amo , eres el mejor amigo que alguien puede tener 💓
Idk why People was worried about Bowie and his personality, ok he may look and act like the steryotipe, but i don't think there is something wrong with it. He is strategic, intelligent and competitive, and can also be sweet and somewhat romantic. I like that, despite his strategies, he is not a bad person and he does not fall into the role of the villain as such. And how much he cares about Raj 😊😊
yes i totally agree! he was a stereotype but literally every total drama character is a stereotype of something! bowie was a really fun character and he was a good player in the game
6:00 wait.. howd they find that out 😨
I never would have thought of that… 😨
Well you see my good friend…
This thing called clothing tags exist.
… thats- that- i- no.
you forgot when Raj said he was a hotdog type at the end of ep 7
Ayo-
Wait!
Why is Bowie the hotdog type and not Caleb? Caleb was so sexy that he managed to get Chris to simp for him, Bryan Singer-style.
@@whathell6t We know nothing about Caleb's sexual preferences. For all we know, he might be.
2:36 i love Wayne 😭💗 protect at all costs 🫶
0:59 “gorgeous man alive”
Justin: *hold my beer*
Alejandro holding a baseball bat
The fact that Emma knew about Raj and Bowie before Wayde did is a crime
i love how you basically made a bowie scene pack and called it “gay moments”
This season was great I was questioning it due to thinking the trailers gave to much away but the season really surprised me with all the Plots the trailer didn't show in the slightest
I agree! my only real problems I have with this season is that it's short but fast paced, less dramatic and thrilling towards the finals, Lauren (Scary girl) being voted out over Ripper and also the episode that was mostly focused around farts, other than that, it was a pretty fun watch!
I love Bowie and Raj but I was genuinely cringing at that Zee and Chase scene 😭
0:11 i loved that "swish"
7:22 that girl is adorable
I cant- i love her dance and squeel😭
3:45
OMG, the part where Raj was laughing and blushing at Bowie was just too adorable! 😊😊😊😍😍😍
CHASE AND ZEE I SWEAR LMAO
Can we talk about when Bowie was introduced his pearl necklace moving was so smooth
at 4:19 the fact that Raj looked at Bowie's lips before kissing him 0-0
En serio
WTF con Raj y Bowie xd
2:32 we love ourselves a supportive bestie 🥹❤️
4:25 aww baby 🥹💖💖
4:37 supportive king 😤💪
5:48 I love his character so much 😊
7:04
“aand, when the game’s over, let’s go on a date”
*kisses*
…
*”MOVE, MOVEEEEEEE!!!”*
Wayne and Emma being supportive wingpeople towards their respective friends is my favorite thing,, (don’t talk to me about Emma and Bowie’s friendship being nonexistent at the moment, I’m still emotionally hurt about that :,)) id like to imagine the two teaming up to watch Raj and Bowie going on a date and prob try to make things work behind the scenes during those dates,, :00
(We stan our king Wayne in this household,,)
Trust me when I say this, Raj could NEVER have a better supportive friend than Wayne
Wayne literally held off celebrating Raj kidding Bowie so he could tell him and spent time making sure Raj felt safe enough to tell him
Wayne the best
the chase and zee scene …I can’t wtf was that 💀
💀
💀
😂😂😂
Omg I was devastated to find out Raj and his amazing straight ally bro was kicked off so early. Raj’s relationship with Bowie was the best part of the show. And I was really wanting his friend to tell everyone he’s gay only for him to get upset by that but both coming to an understanding in the end of the show…which I know is corny lol.
i honestly love how this season does this, and even doesnt make it the sole focus which makes it even better
2:51 HELP?
