Gregg Araki, who directed the episode The Wrestler (S2.E11), has written and directed several indie films focused on LBGTQ characters and he said that the wrestling match in that episode is the "gayest thing I've ever seen." He pointed out that, in his opinion, the show is obviously aiming for a gay audience by featuring young guys in very homoerotic situations, but as a network series, they -- and other shows -- are restrained on what they can do. He said, "Riverdale and Teen Wolf and all those shows, they're all made by these super-gay creators, right? And they all have these super-hot guys in them. But they're a tease because all they ever do is get naked, take a shower, slap each other. Like, I get it. I get that there's this gay sensibility at work, and they're objectifying [Archie] to a ridiculous degree. But they feel almost frustrating. It's on the CW, so they're very 'This is what we can do.' I mean, [Archie] was kissing some dude this season. Anything they can do to gay-bait the audience, they do. But they all do it. It's like, what's his face, Nick Jonas. It's just like, 'I'll f**king pose in my underwear, grab my dick, show my ass.' It's like, 'Whatever, I'll do anything. But I'm still straight.' If you wanna get super queer-theory philosophical, it's fetishizing a straight guy to a ridiculous point."
