Seconded, that the IATSE members in my social media circles have specifically highlighted the streaming topic repeatedly over the past several weeks/months.

Forgive the flagrant pedantry:

That is basically it, as popular as Bill is he made some huge problems for Hillary in both 2008 and 2016, like the whole tarmac situation. They should know better than anyone what will give the GOP mob more fuel.

Mickey (Macaulay Culkin) and Tuberculosis Karen’s (Sarah Paulson) conversation mimics so many that I had at that time, quickly shifting between discussing the terrifying danger they are in, the projects they haven’t yet completed, and debating the true villain of the film Jaws.

In many ways - and I am loathe to say this - this is the best-case scenario, in that the same folks that are mounting the most vigorous opposition to government mandate for vaccination or masking or really, most any public health infection control measures, are also the same folks that’ve been championing the rights…

I find the trickiness being that the distinction “die hard” and casual fan was decidedly different in that pre-streaming timeframe. Friends (and one would have to also peg Seinfeld and Frasier as the other tentpoles of the era) really represents the last generation of unifyingly popular products of the multicam sitcom…

Now that I’ve had a chance to throw cash at the Mouse House, it occurs to me that part of the variance I’m talking about is just the differences in what constitutes ‘objectionable’ in different places.

And yet you keep posting!

(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

You clued into one of the counterpoints I’d had in mind - representational strides have been continuing throughout television, and even Disney’s own properties in some cases.

Accusing Ivanka or any of the family Trump with psuedo-intellectual anything is more credit than even they’re deserving of.

I don’t believe any of that was said.

I think you’re definitely ascribing intentions to me.

China, certainly - but it’s reductionist to leave out the plenty ‘nuff other countries we’ve seen LGBTQ+ content edited out or overtly suppressed.

I think the point that’s perhaps being missed - not taking away from T&L, or Katie or your own take - being that it’s a matter of being “problematic” (say, in the vein of whitewashed casting choices for comparison).

“Primarily”. Spermatozooa are known to contribute mitochondria infrequently - at least in the real world. Because it’s the exception rather than the rule, the temptation is to then wonder why those instances were “chosen”.

Not that it makes a lick of difference to clearly non-humanoid Force users, but the had-to-take-graduate-genetics-twice in me is wondering if that means:

In our defense, who’s to blame for that reality?

...which suddenly raises the question in my mind - and hear me out: Is Orange McPumpkintits the first person in history to be gaslit by reality?

Unironically - a rather perfectly accurate summation of losing the popular and electoral votes!
Whaddya know, guys? He’s right about some things after all!
