She was the best part of Green Wing.

Bing-pot!

I had to look her up, but there is indeed a strong resemblance.

Said the poster who literally projected their issues into an episode of Doctor Who then claimed the right to speak for the continuity of non-straight people stretching back millennia.

Let's see a quote where I claimed to be speaking for "the people". Let me stop you scrolling, because there isn't one. Work on your reading comprehension after you've spoken to a professional about your victim complex and anger issues.

Again, where did I deny you the right to speak? I just reaffirmed your right to say incorrect things all you want. Your right to say up is down does not preclude my right to correct you. And it is correction; my disagreement with you is incontestable proof that you don't speak for "people like me". Pointing this out…

Where did I dictate what you're allowed to say? I reminded you that you don't represent – contrary to your own assertion – the non-straight audience. Because you don't. You erroneously claimed the show has risked "piss[ing] off the people they're trying to represent" by including such an anachronism, as if you speak…

I will skip OITNB's every single time, but I don't mind letting Kimmy's play through most of the time.

Rickon Stark was fridged in front of his brother in the last season of Game of Thrones, but you won't find think-pieces on Medium or Slate or io9 about it. Similarly, three male characters were raped on screen last year, between The Leftovers, Outlander and The Magicians*, but there were no calls for boycotts, unlike…

I don't mean screen time, I mean audience/media reaction.

He was really on fire in Alien Covenant.

The murder of male characters never gets the sort of attention that murder or rape of female characters gets. Yet the foremost position taken against the latter – it's a real thing that can and does happen – is just as true, if not moreso. (Rape of male characters also gets a fraction of the attention.)
