We spoke to Brett Chamberlin, Govt Director, OPEN (Group for Polyamory and Moral Non-monogamy) who tells us, although “tempting to have fun each portrayal of non-monogamy in well-liked media,” it must be performed each responsibly and from a spot of understanding.
He continues… “It is irritating that Riverdale used its characters’ non-monogamous relationship as a ‘stunning twist’ slightly than participating with an genuine portrayal of non-monogamy as merely being a part of folks’s identities.”
Chamberlin continues, “We did not see or hear something about why these characters apply non-monogamy, what it means for them, the substance of their relationship agreements and communication practices, or any of the opposite underlying motivations and work that makes relationships of any sort operate.”
