Honestly some of these replies have me thinking that:

A) Netflix hired people to defend the show on negative articles and comments

That the show exists is not the issue.

He was nominated for Guest Actor In A Drama Series

It’s time for this lesbian supporting character to deliver a “badass quip” about how she’d totally bang the straight male lead character, to let us know this man is objectively fuckable, which she can tell because she is a lesbian. Oh wait we cut that part, we cut literally the only part that states she is a lesbian,

That is NOT a very good line. It’s NOT a bad ass quip. It’s not “cool”. It’s the kind of line a man who has no idea what lesbians think or act like would write for a woman and then pat himself on the back for his understanding of both lesbians AND women.

I know many men are going to reject this report and offer up defenses for Ansari. And I suppose Ansari’s actions will seem ok to them, because it’s been a given for so long that men push, and women resist.

We literally get misinformation from the White House every. Single. Day. And that’s supposed to be one of the most credible departments in the entire nation.
It doesn’t matter who the medium is, if the victim collaborated the story, doesn’t deny any of the details, the important thing is that the world hears about it.

I’m glad there’s finally a dude willing to be the arbiter of when women can feel like a guy acted inappropriately.

Institutionalized sexism is a thing, inequality in high powered positions is a thing, and that still doesn’t mean that a person can’t be comfortable in a situation just because you don’t think they should be. You were presented with the fact that there was a female producer on this show, and your first reaction was to

If she has been very outspoken about her sexist treatment, then why was your immediate assumption, after being told that she was a producer on this show and was presumably someone Simon talked to, that she must not have been comfortable around the male producers? I do not think she retreated into a corner - your

Yes, I don’t think you care about her, or any of the other woman here or anywhere else, as anything other than tools which allow you to recite the same talking points.
