" and a row of women who immediately run off to have a quickie with the president just because he nods at them."

The show is awful and there have been alot of missteps. But i really do think Scandal is a perfect example of how writing your personal politics into a show can ruin it. I think a lot of storylines that were done were in service of feminist views, but then the show isn't about that. And it isn't consistent in those…

Tbh, Olivia's little speech really irked me. Like he's single now, so if all the sex he's having is consensual then what's the problem. If fitz was a woman and olivia was a man, and gave that little speech. We would have to sit through 20,000 plus articles about slut shaming and how that's wrong. So why is a divorced…

Amelia in Private Practice is awesome, which is why I am so shattered because Grey's Amelia is the woooooorrrst

Thank GOD! YES I kept trying to tell everyone Higher was awful and everyone thought I was crazy

I actively hate the Owen/Amelia pairing. Actively. I wish they would bring back her republican BF from Private Practice.

Yes! I for one have always been #TeamLogan

Yeah that was bad too, because they made the magic black person trope literal, but even then if they had expanded on that and written it properly it could have been cool and interesting? Like why are the Bennet's always caught up in Vampire drama? Are they the Stacey Dash's of the witch community?

I mean agree to disagree I suppose. I always thought she was the weak link in all of those O Russell films. It was always so clear that she was playing parts that really should have gone to actresses older with more talent. I still think that silver lining playbook could have been saved had you switched her out for…

"Had this been the year 234343 and everybody was some shade of brown"
And this still isn't true because South America been like this for a minute and look what goes down in the DR and Brazil. Whiteness might go but he'll just hand the reins over to his equally no good cousin Colorism.

Where do you want me to start? You could write a dissertation. For TVD it was basically a bunch of little things that when put together, was a large mountain of bovine feces.
For starters think about the Salvatores they are this family that owned this plantation, and it's romanticized. From the jump Bonnie isn't…

Well I also have a lot of friends who work in tv, black women specifically, and their experiences have been significantly different than yours so, agree to disagree

" getting white creators to have a diverse cast can, at least in TV, give an impetus to hire more writers of color in their writer's rooms"
It doesn't tho. And we've seen this time and time again. White creators have Characters of Color and then either a) Doesn't write them as real people and they get shuffled off to…

"Oscar or Grammy nominee or winner attached to your resume gives an artist more name recognition, more creative credibility and freedom, more opportunities, and more leeway to negotiate when receiving those opportunities. "

The Carl plot is just straight up racist.
You set a show on the southside of Chicago and only have one black person in the cast for 6 years. And the joke is that isn't it so funny that carl acts like this stereotypical version of black people. ha ha ha…no.

Yeah. That stuff will get you if you use it straight. But mix it with some water, olive oil, and vegetable glycerin and it's like magic.

Nah. Drake is such a f*ck boy. That Hotline Bling song is about him being mad that his sidepiece went out and got herself a life.

It is my truest and most pure hope that someone takes TVD and The Originals and teaches a class called How NOT to Write Your Characters of Color

ugh. This show. Those flashback scenes are hilarious. I laughed when the maid exiting was white. TVD has always been this weird kinda racist show, and last night along with some previous episodes feel like they've been trying retcon a bit, especially with damon's comment about native americans, and I just want to say…
