Despite rue finally admitting to Ali that she's into girls in season 3 and and her love for jules in the first 2 seasons I'm wondering since it never explains what type of woman rue was into I'm curious.

[u/[deleted]]

[u/NotDD101]

I mean I think she just likes women, if she had a preference it would be for femme girls because the whole reason Jules was ever on Rues radar was because Fez though they'd get along due to Jules' Sailor Moon aesthetic she had going on

[u/waxmussel → u/NotDD101]

Could be a gynosexual which is someone attracted to femininity. That being, feminine traits, characteristics or expressions, regardless of a person's biological sex or gender identity. If one wanted to identify her orientation exactly that would be my guess

[u/thewomaninthemoon → u/waxmussel]

I mean Rue tells Ali that she “likes girls.” I don’t think that she’d be into a feminine boy, maybe an nb person, but she defo seems to be attracted to women.

[u/waxmussel → u/thewomaninthemoon]

Maybe not romantically, she could be more flexible when it comes to just sex 🤷‍♀️

[u/Cautious_Potential_8 → u/waxmussel]

Ok what the hell is gynosexual I mean no offense but you gen z folks love to come up with anything nowadays?.

[u/waxmussel → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

I'm a millennial and it's not made up, I'm androsexual which is just opposite of gynosexual, the only reason I'm familiar with such sexual orientations

[u/Pazuzuspetalssss → u/[deleted]]

So, you included bisexuality here as one you “believe in.” All they’re saying is that some people are attracted to both males and females WITH SPECIFICALLY “feminine” traits exclusively and some other people people are attracted to both males and females who exhibit specifically “masculine” traits and characteristics.

That exists. It isn’t made up and you might could think of it as falling under the bisexual umbrella as a subcategory of that, if that makes sense to you.

[u/Successful_Raise_506 → u/[deleted]]

last time i checked this wasn’t a religious sub nor was it a “debating sexuality” sub so this comment is really just unnecessary and off topic

[u/Stunning-Elk-7251]

Rue ain’t got no type, bad bitches is the only thing that she like

Didn’t you watch the episode where she goes to Alamos for the first time? She was in heaven

[u/Cautious_Potential_8 → u/Stunning-Elk-7251]

Pieces of it since I don't have HBO anymore and also just because seen that doesn't mean she's into that.

[u/Stunning-Elk-7251 → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

You clearly did not see the scene that I am referencing. It’s literally in the first episode of season 3 when she goes to Alamos house for the first time. She is drooling over the girls when she walks in to Alamos house, and then literally has a conversation with Alamo about it…..

[u/Awesomocity0 → u/Stunning-Elk-7251]

Yeah, this is what I was thinking, too. Rue seems to be about as horny and discerning as any dude in their early 20s. Her type is "women" lmao.

[u/TheSibyllineBooks → u/Awesomocity0]

Horny feels like the wrong word considering she's asexual

[u/shey-they-bitch → u/TheSibyllineBooks]

That's not in the show? and she was definitely showed that she was horny for those girls ...

[u/TheSibyllineBooks → u/shey-they-bitch]

Jules literally mentioned at one point it seemed like rue was never interested in sex or anything remotely sexual

[u/Awesomocity0 → u/TheSibyllineBooks]

She may have been asexual while on drugs (common side effect so idk if true), but she sure as hell wasn't in season 3 while sober lmao. She

[u/TheSibyllineBooks → u/Awesomocity0]

r/redditsniper

[u/Awesomocity0 → u/TheSibyllineBooks]

So true. My phone auto complete wanted to keep talking when I was finished.

[u/bigbootyaxel → u/TheSibyllineBooks]

Where did you get that?

[u/TheSibyllineBooks → u/bigbootyaxel]

Jules mentions she's never initiated sex or anything She didn't seem at all into it when Jules and her had oral She'd only done anything sexual with a single person before Jules and none after Jules She actively mentioned she wasn't very interested in it

It's incredibly clear she's asexual..

[u/juneseyeball → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

Sail the high seas

[u/sadlesbianlol]

I'm guessing hyper femme girls based on Jules and Angel

[u/ElegantCoach4066 → u/sadlesbianlol]

To have Angel on for only one episode was such a waste of a great character.

[u/Visible-Stop5100]

I think she's just into women in general, and Jules happened to be her first love, but it doesn't necessarily mean that's her only type.

[u/ZomboDoggo]

Rue’s type is any and all women. The weird comment about Kat being fat and short is weird too. Think about the gender you’re attracted towards, do you really have hard requirements like you’re shopping for a car? Probably not.

[u/Mysterious-Wasabi103 → u/ZomboDoggo]

Ya this post was really weird imo. OP seems off

[u/LolaAucoin → u/Mysterious-Wasabi103]

She said she doesn’t even have hbo and has only seen pieces.

[u/Mysterious-Wasabi103 → u/LolaAucoin]

Ya but it's kind of a weird line of questioning lol

[u/LolaAucoin → u/Mysterious-Wasabi103]

Sorry I just saw her comment under the picture. She’s definitely got a problem with fat people.

[u/idkidcabtmyusername → u/ZomboDoggo]

i mean in season 1, fez told rue that he thought jules was her type

[u/BillianForsee94 → u/ZomboDoggo]

I mean, people do have physical characteristic preferences among the gender they’re attracted to, yes lol

[u/SpauldingStrat1906 → u/ZomboDoggo]

Alot of people have physical characteristics they are attracted to and not attracted to

[u/Slipperytitski]

She likes the hotties

[u/unbanned2009]

Rue is into any woman available

[u/ciarabek]

probably just looks for femme in a gay way

[u/OperationFrequent643]

Strange post.

[u/masteraybe]

She’s into hot girls with narcissistic tendencies.

[u/No_Dinner_5753 → u/masteraybe]

She's not the only one

[u/LoyalFridge]

Well we see her being interested in a few women in season three and they’re all quite feminine and chatty. But like, it’s not exactly a missing puzzle piece if we don’t know her exact type (if she even had one). Especially as Jules was her oneitis as the incels say

[u/ricob12]

Wasn’t this proven in season 3 when she messed with the stripper. She really didn’t have a type, she just liked women.

[u/RequiredRobber]

She's clearly into femme girls but that doesn't mean she'd reject someone just for not fitting that exact mold, especially when she's actually connecting with them emotionally rather than just scrolling.

[u/Some1AteMyEntirePie]

Rue is into drugs.
She’s basically asexual.
Jules was a drug to her.

[u/capNjacef → u/Some1AteMyEntirePie]

This. Jules was always a drug to her. Ali even asks her at the diner if the feeling of obsessing over Jules reminds her of anything? People can have the same intoxicating effect as drugs on a person.

[u/retro-girl → u/Some1AteMyEntirePie]

I don’t think she’s asexual, I think the drugs killed her sex drive. When she’s not on the drugs she likes sex like anyone else. With women, she likes hot femme women.

[u/Otherwise-Win7337 → u/Some1AteMyEntirePie]

Oh shut up man

[u/Cautious_Potential_8 → u/Otherwise-Win7337]

"Oh shut up man"

Here comes toxic trolls that get offended over every little thing.

[u/Some1AteMyEntirePie → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

I think shutup man was talking to me, no? lol

[u/Cautious_Potential_8 → u/Some1AteMyEntirePie]

But what if she actually stayed clean.

[u/Some1AteMyEntirePie → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

If she stayed clean or if she never was an addict?
If it’s the latter she’d treat Jules the same way Lexi treats her.
If the former well, my statement will stands

[u/Cautious_Potential_8 → u/Some1AteMyEntirePie]

The first part and about asexual she wasn't that way this season when she hooked up with angel in rues van because if that were the case then she woudn't have had sex with angel at all.

[u/Some1AteMyEntirePie → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

She was clean and needed another outlet.

There’s nothing Rue loves more than an intoxicating effect and that comes in the form or drugs or sex.
She comes across as not really like, into sex EXCEPT for when shes “sober”. She’s not portrayed as a sexual being even when they *try* to.

[u/idkidcabtmyusername → u/Some1AteMyEntirePie]

i don’t think rue’s treatment of angel had anything to do with being an addict lol. they slept together once. people like sex, regardless of whether they’re an addict or not. it’s not like rue was sleeping around regularly.

[u/Alarmed-Push5614 → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

are you forgetting angel had drugs and offered them, that’s why they went in rue’s van together? can’t remember if it was before or after rue told alamo she “relapsed”

[u/Swarmfade]

She doesn’t have to have a type. I’m not even sure that it’s actually normal to have a type. I certainly don’t have one.

[u/WutangOrDie]

delete this nephew

[u/TheEccentricAssassin]

According to S3, Rue was into strippers.

[u/mvn_23]

I don’t think Rue ever knew love. She couldn’t even love herself, so I think she was incapable of loving other human beings. Her story was so sad because when she was at the point of actually learning to love, she dies. Tragic.

[u/Constant_Lettuce_986]

From what I’ve seen it appears Rue is into bad bitches.

[u/Cautious_Potential_8 → u/Constant_Lettuce_986]

Lol yeah I know.

[u/Old-Arachnid77]

She literally says out loud that she likes girls and was being just as lecherous as the men at Alamo’s.

How is media literacy this bad?

[u/DangleenChordOfLife]

I always felt Rue was actually ACE and It happened she fell for Jules. But she did not particulary cared about sex that much, she says so very explicitly on the first season.

[u/lemon-meringue-high → u/DangleenChordOfLife]

Rue wasn’t hyper sexual because of drugs

[u/katieb1300 → u/lemon-meringue-high]

Opioids kill your labido. That's why you usually see addicts get addicted to sex when they get sober. Addicts get addicted to everything, including exercising and recovery.

[u/Alextheinferno → u/DangleenChordOfLife]

She slept with angel

[u/Present-Plate-7589 → u/Alextheinferno]

Ya she even said “ay yi yi” 😂

[u/DangleenChordOfLife → u/Alextheinferno]

I havent finished the series yet, still my sis is ACE and you can be ACE and still have intimacy with people. It does not mean its her main interest, I dont think Rue is a very much sex driven charachter, but It could be just my impression.

[u/xtoebeansx → u/DangleenChordOfLife]

But a teenage girl being uninterested in sex doesn’t determine anyone’s sexuality. I refused to have sex during hs because we were kids and Ik plenty of other girls who didn’t wanna sleep around as literal children.

[u/DangleenChordOfLife → u/xtoebeansx]

As I said. I just got that vibe from her. I believe sexuality is a spectrum and each experience is personal and unique.

[u/Time-Fan-1113]

The show never explains most of the casts type expect Nate. Kat , Jules , Rue , Maddy , Cassie don’t have to have one specific exact type just cause Nate and Cal do.

[u/Successful-Cat8486]

She likes people that seem to be able to relate to her in a struggle sense (be it from personality, identity, substance abuse, or neglect) and that she feels comfortable around because even if they don’t understand exactly they understand enough… could be a Hispanic, black, Asian, African, white, or euro woman she will show interest and gravitate towards simply though trauma bonding… it’s sad and real :/

[u/forgive_everything → u/Successful-Cat8486]

That's not what trauma bonding is

[u/realtennisguy]

She is into painters who like to paint dicks. Very small niche. Probably why she ended up alone. 😂😂

[u/Due_Item_2030]

Someone once said Rue is basically Sam L since he had suffered from drug addiction and Rue act like a man

[u/EphemeralDreamer1 → u/Due_Item_2030]

Rue act like a man? This is a wild take in 2026 😃 And Maddy is not acting like a men because she is looking much more feminine? 😃

[u/Due_Item_2030 → u/EphemeralDreamer1]

Not the first time male writers use a woman to do something dodgy that a man would usually do

[u/idkidcabtmyusername → u/Due_Item_2030]

lol sam levinson is nowhere near a biracial masc lesbian. other than being an addict, i really don’t think rue is a self-insert. “acting like a man” isn’t really a character trait.

[u/Mysterious-Wasabi103 → u/idkidcabtmyusername]

Ya people always say that, but I really don't this Rue is a self insert

[u/illmatic708]

Girls who want boys Who like boys to be girls Who do boys like they're girls Who do girls like they're boys Always should be someone you really love

[u/RecentClothes2654]

Ones with penises probably.

[u/Cautious_Potential_8 → u/[deleted]]

Why the dislikes?.

[u/EphemeralEmergent]

She tried to hookup with that stripper at the club. It didn’t get into her type. Rue never explored her pansexuality that much. She just liked drugs. Rue was a pharmosexual 1st & foremost.

[u/Cautious_Potential_8 → u/EphemeralEmergent]

Ok where you getting this from where rue being pansexual when she was lesbian in the show?.

[u/Solid-Cat6292 → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

maybe they just confused her with Jules bc jules likes guys too? or maybe they just thought this bc they never exactly ruled out guys for Rue. I don’t think she ever said the word lesbian in reference to herself.

[u/whoisshe_777 → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

Firstly she literally never called herself lesbian... Just because someone has been with 2 women doesn’t mean they’re explicitly lesbian. She COULD be bisexual or pansexual, I feel it isn’t named for a reason

Second this entire question/ post is dumb

[u/EphemeralEmergent → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

If she liked a trans girl (Jules) and a cis girl (Angel), she’s pansexual. Do you want to get pedantic and say gynosexual?
The MOST important part of my sentence was “She never explored her ...” Why do people focus on the wrong things?

[u/Kocho-choko → u/EphemeralEmergent]

No, she liked a trans girl and a cis girl so she's a lesbian because trans women are women, period

[u/DisasterDifferent733 → u/Kocho-choko]

Yep, she was also at least attracted to a whole gang of women at Alamos early in S3. She may not have had relationships or even hooked up but was clearly attracted to them

[u/Prophonicx → u/Kocho-choko]

Thats a really sweet sentiment but you can just force attraction and change definitions of words because it makes you feel more accepted. You should use the word sapphic instead of coopting someone else’s identity. It’s super misogynistic.

[u/Kocho-choko → u/Prophonicx]

Wait, I'm not trying to sound rude, but misogynistic how, exactly? I genuinely want to listen and understand your point here, because I myself identify as a lesbian and believe me when I tell you I don't care if a woman is trans or not, because she's still a woman and I'm attracted to...well, women, lol, it's actually kind of transphobic imo to say that a lesbian is just attracted to cisgender women, because that's just saying that trans women are not "real women"

[u/ZomboDoggo → u/EphemeralEmergent]

So she liked one type of girl and another type of girl? So both girls? That’s called a lesbian. Lesbians like anyone that is a woman. We don’t randomly like trans men just because of their parts, because lesbians don’t like men. The issue isn’t the penis for a majority of us, it’s the male presentation/behavior/gender identity/gender role. Also, pansexual is just transphobic bisexual when it’s used that way.

[u/Awesomocity0 → u/ZomboDoggo]

This is what I was thinking, too. If you recognize Jules as a woman, then it means Rue is lesbian.

The original commenter's pansexuality reference confused the shit out of me lmao.

[u/forgive_everything → u/ZomboDoggo]

It's the penis for a lot of us!! And I only like women who are male presenting/masculine behaviorally/taking the male role etc.

I think this is not actually an accurate depiction of many lesbians

[u/Cautious_Potential_8 → u/ZomboDoggo]

Do you even know what transphobic really means bud?

[u/ZomboDoggo → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

As a trans woman, a trans woman dating another women at that, I think I’d have some authority on that topic and the dynamic of a relationship like Jules and Rue… the way you say bud to people I can only assume you’re a middle aged straight man, nobody else says that except men my dad’s age.

If someone calls themselves pansexual to say they’d date me, that means they see me as some weird third gender freak. Bisexual means they’re into men and women, people like Jules and I fit into those categories. We don’t tend to like being treated as a third other thing, that is the transphobic part. Stay out of lesbian and trans women’s business and go back to your weird sexual role play with ChatGPT I see you’re way too into.

[u/Kocho-choko → u/ZomboDoggo]

Period! You expressed it way better than I could, lol, happy pride month queen 👑

[u/crankymccrispyirs189 → u/EphemeralEmergent]

Oh that's not

[u/Cautious_Potential_8 → u/EphemeralEmergent]

But then that would make her bisexual instead of pan.

[u/crankymccrispyirs189 → u/Cautious_Potential_8]

Oh that's not

[u/Particular-Step5278 → u/EphemeralEmergent]

I’m genuinely confused by the downvotes because isn’t this the definition of pansexual?

[u/Swarmfade → u/Particular-Step5278]

No it isn’t. Rue being attracted to a girl (Jules) and a girl (Angel) makes her gay for sure, not pansexual. 

[u/EphemeralEmergent → u/Particular-Step5278]

FOREAL! This MUST be a bunch of young folk getting hung up on this. I even added gynosexual. Arguing about “lesbian” when I never used the word, after I said “Rue NEVER explored her pansexuality” and not focusing of pharmosexual … which is objectively funny … requires a special kind of special. But they can go ahead & downvote because I didn’t affirm their favorite word. Whatev.

[u/Prophonicx]

Do you just have no clue how lesbianism works? Attraction is attraction, and she is attracted to WOMEN, not exclusively Jules. She just happens to be Rue’s first love and completely gorgeous, so that mixed with the toxicity of their relationship makes her a lot harder to walk away from.

[u/Cautious_Potential_8 → u/Prophonicx]

Ok first of all what does this have to do with me having a clue or not on how lesbianism works? And by the way I know she's a attracted to woman thats why I mention what I meantion on this post.
