Wow, you aren’t getting this at all, are you? How tragic. Your lack of scope is staggering.

I am not showing any lack of empathy, you dolt. I am giving you some fucking scope, since you seem to think progress isn’t going fast enough to suit you. And it hasn’t stopped - likely this was a record year for LGBTQ+ representation (I am lazy and not googling it, but it has trended upwards for decades). You are…

I’m not saying he is wrong, I am saying his take was pretty racist.

No, I’m judging her based on her racial appearance AND

Good god you are stupid. If you can’t see how he used her race as a measure of likelihood to be a racist, you need to go back to school and get some reading comp. Because judging someone based on their race is racist - and that is what he did. Duh.

Wow, axe to grind much? Get some scope, kiddo. They aren’t crumbs, it is progress. If you expect a tiny fraction of the population to get a role in every show, you are going to be disappointed forever. And stop projecting your endless negativity. “Just screw them, huh?” Shows a distinct lack of understanding of what I…

FYI, LGBTQ+ people are a very small percentage of the population. And sadly, there is a sizable chunk of Christian conservatives out there that will always cause networks to think twice about “alienating” viewers. That being said, I named characters from shows I watched. Didn’t realize you expected main characters - I…

Off the top of my head? Captain Holt from Brooklyn 99 (my guilty pleasure show). Sara from Arrow, Moira from Handmaid’s Tale. Wasn’t the recent Dr Who companion a POC gay woman? I recall hearing Sense8 had a good amount of LGBTQ+ characters (didn’t watch).

Lobbying and gerrymandering.

What is priceless is that “police and military power” are also rooted in that economic power. The latter literally lining their pockets with fat gov’t contracts for our Forever War, while the former ensures poverty (especially for POC). I used to call this system Crony Capitalism, because that was pretty accurate.…

The show doesn’t deal with sexuality at any great length. It has sex acts in it, but it isn’t about sexuality specifically.

Thanks for that nuanced critique. Pointing out someone judging a person’s appearance when the content of their character is absolute dogshit seems like maybe we should just worry about the latter and not be racist. Simple enough. Not sure how that is a “poor take”.

Why are you worried? The sexuality in the context of this show revolves around the main characters. All are straight as per the narrative. Not sure what you expect, but there is a lot of representation of LGBTQ+ people in the media. It isn’t going to be in everything, unless you want throwaway nods that pander. Maybe…

Uh, way to miss that point there, bud.

I didn’t say that because he is not white, he can’t have issues with black people. At all. That being said, I find it unlikely and can’t think of a single instance of anti-black anything in the show. Given that, sure seems like you are looking for persecution or some sort of victimhood where there isn’t any. The show…

What? How about just enjoy it and not labor over representation? It is there. They don’t shy from it as a concept. Just that of the maybe three characters that actually have sex, they are straight. Not exactly a shock, right?

On Friday, Ives—a Chicago-area state representative—released a campaign ad that managed to be transphobic, sexist, and racist all in just one minute.

You do see your own racism in that comment, right? You are judging her based on her racial characteristics. How about stick to the fact she is a racist piece of shit? You know, judge the character and all.

You need counseling to handle your persecution complex, because holy shit this show is about POC and not at all anti-anything.

...uh-huh. I think you should seek some counseling.
