I think there are plenty of shows and movies that aren’t framed as explicit morality tales, with complex and often repugnant characters like Breaking Bad or Mad Men. Nightcrawler is a movie with a protagonist that exploits characters around him, even causing his employee’s death. He never even gets a moment of…

I love that the CW, which hardly ever has met a high-concept premise involving attractive young people that it didn’t like, gave this a quick once-over and then took a  hard pass

Maybe don’t make shows where weight loss is the be all and end all goal? Maybe make shows starring fat women who are happy with their weight and just continuing to exist in the world and their weight doesn’t consume their every-waking moment? Don’t use farstuits. Use fat actresses and make shows that aren’t about…

Or maybe just don’t make a show about how a fat person can only be happy if she really looks like Debbie Ryan and has her jaw wired shut so she can be skinny? CGI would be just as much a problem.

They had that joke in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, too, but it wasn’t about how fat Rebecca was, it was about how lonely she was. Which made it much, much funnier.

NPR’s review said this:

The fat thing also is still very very bad. You want to know how fat and insatiable Patty was? She ate her twin in the womb. No joke. Like really. They had that in the show.

On the other hand, it would be a really great opportunity to have some “track work” occurring when all of them are loaded on one train, preferably in between stations, and preferably with an AC outage.

Maybe you could start by teaching yourself how to think..

Teaching people (especially blacks) how to think, is one of my primary missions in life.

15% isnt a percentage for winners.

9. Just smart enough to know they’re not smart and angry about it.

Really? “It’s always something” that’s your take?

Trans people taking issue with non-trans casting in trans roles

Wah wah it’s always something

Gay people being frustrated by stereotypical and homophobic representations

So picking a heterosexual woman to play a transgender person who identified as a woman, at a time when transgenders are still largely blocked from playing hetero men and women...

Equating being trans with being a cancer patient? Erm ok....

What?
At some point I think you need to stop and contemplate why you are so interested in defending something you have done no research on.

I agree, so far it’s nothing but queer-baiting bullshit which provides ample cover for people who have no desire to confront their own prejudices.

These two characters aren’t queer, they’re just ‘really close friends’. This transman is just a confused lady who like pants. I am over film studios and show-runners using…

My main complaint about Johansen in anything is she’s a really ad actress.

I have a number of issues with Scar Jo playing this character. One is with the fact cisgender actors often play transgendered characters and the other is with the fact the trans man Scar Jo is playing was fat in real life. It feels doubly insulting to cast a cisgender, thin actress in this part.

trans-exclusionary radical feminists who do not believe that the rights of trans people should be included in discussions of women’s rights
