You made a case for why the left should be more concerned with these issues, and you made a case for how this show could address this, but you’ve still failed to illustrate why this fictional show (set in an alternate reality) has a unique obligation to do this.

what actually doesn’t what?

I think the point is that what obligation does a show about one thing have to be also about another thing.

Honestly I think the only difference in “gaze” is that the female gaze is reserved for the best of the best men - 8.5 and up, and the male gaze is a bit less discriminatory - like 5.5 and up. And I think both have bio components.

Honest question. Of all the shows out there, which ones do you think need to shift their narrative focus to show an alternative experience, and what experiences should they highlight. It can’t *just* be this show, and it can’t *just* be woman of color. Plus, women of color is pretty broad - surely black women have…

This is a TV show, not “the left”

touché

exactly.

Objectively it would not.

It’s insulting to creators to ask them stupid questions like “how come your fictional work about the oppression of women, doesn’t specifically and in adequate detail cover the unique oppression of minorities?”

I don’t think the Monster assessment was not due to her infertility, rather the fact that she willingly agreed to it in order to become the best possible mercenary/assassin/spy she could be.

“male gaze”

I’m all for people having whatever harmless attractions they feel (by harmless I mean, not attracted to minors, animals, etc). I don’t really care about labels.

Screw that- this women is trying to sell prostitution as a wise choice for the every day woman.

Today I Learned: There’s money in prostitution. Had no idea. Mind Blown.

...in what was clearly an action motivated by racism and nothing else”

You are advocating treating women like literal babies, meaning infants. Infants are the only humans who can actually do no wrong.

Thanks for this. When it’s over, it’s over. And considering both of them are sitting on decent stacks, not that big a deal.

Apu’s a fairly goofy character on a very goofy show. He’s not even that goofy.

“believeallwomen” is insulting to women. It basically says “women are saintly, defenseless creatures, utterly incapable of malice or falsehood.”
