It’s TRON!

Spot on.

Just before we have some of the usual ‘Cancel culture gone mad!’ comments, no, she is not being ‘cancelled’, she is facing the consequences of using a public platform, the internet equivalent of shouting out in the middle of the street, to make questionable comments, and Disney would rather not have to deal with it.

I’m pretty sure it’s Michael Ironside.

Yup. I mean this..

Wow, the amount of people up in arms over POC allowed to voice cartoon characters that represent POC is.... amazing. Especially for shows that rank in millions a year.

Wait wait... what ethnicity do you think Bart and Lisa are?

This is a show that also rewards the viewer with repeated viewings. So many little details in the backgrounds of scenes that play out later in the series that are so easily missed. Plus some of those little details, like titles of books on shelves, give the narrative an expansion if you look up the materials online!

I ended up taking notes and drawing family trees.

One of the best shows on Netflix.  You need to watch it with original German audio and english subtitles (if you need them).  This isn’t a show you can watch while also browsing on your phone.

My wife and I stumbled across this when it first came out and love it. It’s not a show you can casually watch with a couple glasses of wine in you.  You have to pay attention and be clear headed to keep track of who’s related to who and what time you’re in.

I like the idea that SE is just really lousy at the secretive part of being a ninja. Like he just can’t help but tell everyone about his membership in the elusive organization because he thinks it’ll impress Scarlet. Had he gone to Yale, he’d have a bunch of t-shirts with the Skull and Bones logo on them. 

not happening. it’s part of his costume forever now.

Or...

... and cue the butt-hurt white dudebro fanboys about changing the gender of a character where a: it makes zero difference to the character but b: makes a huge difference in representation on the screen, which far outweighs the need for “fidelity” here.

Please be gentle. I read what you wrote and I myself get what I think he is trying to say. I’m not saying I agree. I think he is saying that everyone should be able to have their own beliefs. Like he can have his and you yours. But he also says that he disagrees with some and stated what he believes. I personally can

Well, at least genetically, human biological sex is indeed binary when you look at the numbers of cases where intersex changes occur (which the scientific opinion article you linked above conveniently avoids, and which is 0.028% of all people). Endocrinology I can’t comment on, but neurologicaly as far as I know there

Exactly. I greatly enjoyed the first series, but this news has definitely dampened my enthusiasm for the forthcoming season, which is frustrating as I was extremely excited to see Anthony Mackie as the new lead. I need to think through whether I can justify watching the new season...

And the Envoys weren’t revolutionaries trying to bring down the system, they were the elite shock troops of the system.  

That’s disappointing, as the conceit of the series seems like it would lend itself well to a trans positive viewpoint.
