You're approaching this from a political perspective, which I think is blown out of proportion a bit, tbh. Bigots don't need tv shows to be bigots, and no amount of shining virtuous gay characters is going to change their views - on the contrary, *any* kind of representation is going to be seen as a sign of global gay…

Well, quoting the review for the first episode:

I'm not defending the show (see the last sentence of my original comment), it is terribly written. What I'm trying to say is this "don't you dare make the woke gay character a villain" line of criticism/outrage feels a bit like a kind of "benevolent sexism" to me. I mean, the show wouldn't be any more or less bad…

I *want* gay characters who are raging psychos, or creepy socipaths. Not to mention that there is in fact a bit of truth to this development - the most demonstratively "woke"…

Has the AVClub just published an article about how men are a better choice than women?

I disagree that Lacey was the only deadite, Ashy Slashy has also clearly suffered a deadite transformation, what's with the white eyes and the teeth.

Well, I'm not an expert on Thai names but the few I know (e.g. the director Apichatpong Weerasethakul) I wouldn't even try to pronounce.

It's actually Borisovna, even the caption editors got it wrong. It never ceases to amaze me how Americans have so many troubles with Russian names, they're not hard at all, especially compared to e.g. Thai ones.

Am I the only one thinking it was an extremely dumb move to eliminate Acid Betty right before the makeover challenge?

This sort of forgery is pretty easy to do, since the portraits in question aren't painted but printed on canvas. So you just photoshop the original photo and print it, forgery done. The fact that a selfie (or worse still, a photo of a print-out of that selfie) is sharp enough for license plate in the background to be…
