I’m always impressed by our writers taking things where they do and I trust them so much.” There are some things coming up later in the season that are so upsetting, that they really stuck with me. On the show’s dark themes, which range from cannibalism to murder, Lynskey says: “I’m so surprised sometimes.

The sophomore season of the survival thriller series also stars Sophie Nélisse as the teenage version of Shauna, as well as Ella Purnell as Jackie, Steven Kreuger as Ben Scott, Warren Kole as Jeff, Christina Ricci and Samantha Hanratty as Misty, Juliette Lewis and Sophie Thatcher as Nat, Simone Kessell and Courtney Eaton as Lottie and Kevin Alves as Travis.
I know that living through a mushroom zombie apocalypse is its own kind of trauma, but it was just a very average love story where they got to, in a way, live happily ever after. Lynskey says other storytellers should take note of the lack of queer trauma narratives in Yellowjackets: “I also love that about The Last of Us, that third episode. Melanie Lynskey as Shauna in Yellowjackets Speaking with GAY TIMES, Lyskey doubled down on the comments in her tweet, saying it’s her “honour” to advocate for LGBTQ+ causes and representation in mainstream media. Her response, in which she confirmed that she is, in fact, backing the aforementioned “agenda”, immediately went viral. He chose a powerful, high profile target that had. While Lynskey doesn’t identify as queer – and her character in The Last of Us seemingly doesn’t either – she was bizarrely accused of “more homosexual agenda pushing” by one irate, anti-LGBTQ+ viewer. When Florida Governor Ron DeSantis decided to go after Disney last spring for opposing his Don’t Say Gay law, he was making it an example. More recently, Lynskey had a two-episode arc in HBO’s post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us, which broke various records for the network and received acclaim for Bella Ramsey’s queer leading character and episode three’s gay love story between Murray Bartlett and Nick Offerman. Throughout her illustrious career, the New Zealand actress has starred in several films and television productions adored by the LGBTQ+ community, from But I’m a Cheerleader to The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Yellowjackets. And conservative and religious media will feel the deepest cut!” And James Schwartzel, the owner of a Fox radio station which features prominent conservative hosts, warned eight members of the Florida House back in March that the passage of the bill “creates too much liability for our business to continue." He added in an email: "We will change our conservative programming, and announcers will quit.Melanie Lynskey is “honoured” over her status as a queer icon. “I understand the perceived intentions of this bill however, this bill will slice both ways. Javier Manjarres, publisher of the conservative site The Floridian Press, likewise warned that DeSantis “could be on the verge of causing himself a historic and irreparable self-inflicted political wound” if he signs into law the legislation targeting media protections. Places like The Gateway Pundit, a right-wing site, argued in an editorial that the “misguided” legislation would put conservative media publications in jeopardy: “SHOOTING ITSELF IN THE FOOT,” the headline blared. But the Times reports that while DeSantis is “typically known for having his finger on the pulse of the right,” he “appears to have misjudged the issue,” given that pushback to the legislation came not only from free-speech advocates and news organizations but the kind of conservative outlets that DeSantis favors. “There needs to be an ability for people to defend themselves not through government regulation or restriction, but through being able to seek private right of action,” DeSantis said at the time. He took his media-bashing to a new level in February when, during a roundtable discussion, he floated the idea of legislation that could make it easier for people to sue news organizations for defamation. The legislation would, among other measures, “narrow the definition of who qualifies as a public figure, automatically presume that statements by anonymous sources are false and define certain types of speech as libelous,” according to the Times.ĭeSantis-who has yet to announce a 2024 presidential run but is widely expected to declare-has consistently attacked the press and shirked traditional media throughout his time in office.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that barring “late changes or a special session,” two bills targeting press protections and drafted at DeSantis’ urging won’t face a full floor vote during this year's legislative session, which officially ends Friday. Florida governor Ron DeSantis’ anti-media legal agenda didn’t even make it through his state’s Republican-led legislature.
