If I'm being honest, the Bechdel test isn't an insurmountable goal. It's a simple rule, two women with names talking about a topic that is not a man. Narrative-wise, that means having motivations for women that are not about the men around them - Lydia remembers Stiles because love is not an example. It's a low bar. And not hard to achieve.
As for great art, meh. That's only somewhat true. I can think of films and television that has soared because of feminism and vice versa. That's anecdotal evidence and doesn't hold water for me.
Yeas, I know what it means. I don't think any tests should be applied to any creative activity. It's similar to censorship and I don't believe in it. Anyhow, let's go back to talking about other things.

is there anyone else that just doesn't get anything out of Sterek?
I appreciate that people are into it, but it wasn't for me. They had solid chemistry and Tyler Hoechlin is one of three thirst-trappy reasons I like the show (Ryan Kelley and Cody Christian are the other two), but I always saw Stiles and Derek as having a classic sibling dynamic. I also felt like Derek needed many years of therapy for any relationship to work - queer or not.
I won't knock anyone for being into them, though.
