They should have just made them gay though.
Yes, and from the beginning. This was kind of the problem with episode 1. In the first part 11 years prior, there is no inclination they are gay so..... All friendships have an undercurrent of homosexuality? Is that the point?
That and sexual identity is the most complex thing ever, when it really isn't....it isn't SJW...it's just overwhelmingly progressive in approach. And not in a good way seeing as the ending kind of celebrates a marriage now built on infidelity both ways. It painted them as happy, and put together, where the usual end to Black Mirror is a haunting pathos.
A better end for this particular episode would have shown them ruining the kid's life because of this arrangement. THAT would have been a Black Mirror episode, but they took the politically progressive approach that sexuality ruling lives is the moral and right thing to do. Everyone is happy with what they get. Just a lame ending that doesn't challenge the story it sets up.
Terrible and politically heavy handed episode.

I don’t even think it was making a point on sexual identity. I think some people see it that way because they are always searching for the “SJW angle” to be triggered by.
To me, it was more so a realistic lesson on the consequences of VR and sex. VR is going to get more and more advanced, and so to the sexual stimulation you can get from it. It’s like porn on cocaine, and it can absolutely wreck a marriage because you have avenues for more exciting sexual experiences that aren’t “really” cheating, all the while you are neglecting your SO.
I actually think that’s why they didn’t make them gay. If they made them gay, it’s just a story of a man having an affair. This story shows us a new technology and basically a new phenomenon - a new kind of affair.
