Well said, Cheryl. But I don’t think it’s the audience here that needs convincing.

I actually cant stand the show. It’s weird though, I started watching the show first, got about 3 episodes in and then started reading the books, now I hate the show, and have never gone back. I hate shows that create unnecessary drama. In one of the early episodes they changed one little thing from the book and it…

Anyone who says “crisis actors” should be beaten right away.

Don’t you get it? Filling a world with historically inaccurate charicatures of white people is awesome, but filling one with historically inaccurate caricatures of Japanese people is so totally racist. Or something.

Everyone, pay attention. Something is eventually coming that may be racist. Keep your eyes open.

I don’t even know where to start with this. Do you think that the American west was only populated by ‘Westerners’, or that the opinions towards non-Westerners were anything less than completely racist both then and in later depictions? I mean, to go to Westworld would be to interact with:

Jesus. Just stop Charles. This is a bad take, and the further you dig yourself in.

this feels like over-correction. the entire premise of westworld is to live out a fantasy in a time and place you can’t actually visit. and then taht place merely refracts whatever prurient interests the visitor might have, be they for violence, sex, drinking and gambling, etc. that one place might be filled with…
