At this point you tried, it’s alright.

Would say dismissed, sneered at, and heavily misunderstood but not persecuted. I’m glad for the story line, the community needs some sort of recognition and it explains Todd in terms of how deeply he relates to people in a non sexual way. But “persecuted”... given how woefully misunderstood the group is and a lot of…
All that and you still won’t provide a single example of persecution. If you want to say I’m wrong, prove me wrong.
Todd is a fan favorite who is a gentle, pure soul in a show that features a lot of broken and cruel characters. He’s the happy character, one of the most well-adjusted, and one of the kindest. Sure he has faults and he’s a man-child, but EVERY character on this show is deeply flawed.
You were the one claiming asexuals are being persecuted. If you can’t provide examples of what you mean by those claims then there is no point in continuing this discussion. If I’m wrong, by all means inform me.
A general lack of understanding about asexuality, or a lack of representation, or even a general prejudice against asexuals is not the same thing as persecution. Are there asexual hate crimes going unreported? Are people being assaulted or murdered for being asexual? Have asexuals been actively discriminated against…
I’m going to be honest, I think my brother is asexual. He’s in his 30's doesn’t identify as gay, is good looking and has never shown any real interest in women. Or men. And we’re very close.
That’s...not persecution. Like in any way. It’s rude, but they’re not being discriminated against. Rednecks aren’t dragging them to their death behind a truck. They aren’t losing out on a job or a promotion. Christ, I get a bigger reaction when I tell the wrong person I don’t like onions.
I wouldn’t say they’re “persecuted” but considering I’ve literally never seen a storyline about an asexual person on TV before I’d at least say they could use some more representation. I don’t think every Todd storyline needs to be about how he’s asexual, but it’s a nice character detail and I’m glad they gave it some…
You touched on this, but what I’d really like to see is an option to NOT skip credits (beginning and end) since I actually enjoy watching both. Not only do they give actual credit to those who made the show possible, they often have great songs/graphics and keep you in the world of the show a while longer. Case in…
You’re completely wrong Myles, and misunderstand parody.
Keep telling yourself that.
Lol, sure they are.
That’s my approach too, and for the same reason. I was in the greys and it’s shit. And I hate that this system discourages disagreement. Suck up to be visible! One of the things I liked about the old AV Club is that you could be the lone voice of dissent and it usually didn’t lead to a pile-on. You could rant about Won…
To the other commenters here who aren’t in the greys: do you approve every pending comment to fish them out of the greys?
Bernie forced her supporters to claim that Obama wasn’t American in 2008 which Trump then used as the basis of his political career!
Ah ha, it was Bernie’s fault. Stupid Sanders started calling Hillary Clinton crooked. Otherwise Trump probably would have spent months talking about her in measured tones, mentioning the nuanced way she was forced to balance the interests of her constituents with the realities of financing a campaign. He basically…
The Good Place had the best first season of any comedy since at least Arrested Development, maybe ever.
Dire??? You haven't truly lived until you've seen Barry Williams aka Greg Brady bust out a soulful version of Pinball Wizard.
