I& #39;m not interested anymore in watching shows without diverse or queer rep. I barely have time to do my laundry, I& #39;m not wasting my time on things that make me mad or sad.
I& #39;m tired of white male showrunners/writing rooms getting credit for doing the bare minimum -- and often cynically, at that. There& #39;s still a lot of work to do behind the scenes, and unfortunately, knowing how the sausage was made often skewers my perspective on a series itself.
Even if other find it delightful. And it& #39;s ok to find things delightful! You should. It& #39;s already hard to do. It& #39;s just difficult to lose myself in the actual storytelling if I know the elements that went into it were hypocritical or don& #39;t practice what they preach "in house".
There are also SO many white, male showrunners and writing rooms who are working and fighting tirelessly to encourage and promote diversity -- esp. in #cdntv. Good people exist from all background and opportunities. And I have the privilege to call many of them friends.
Which makes my tolerance for proprietary, selfish, gate-keeping egomaniac ding dongs ever lower. Silver lining: they& #39;re scared right now that we& #39;re coming for them. & #39;Cause we are.
To clarify: this is not a subtweet about the show (not genre) you think it is. It& #39;s about garbage people behind the scenes. P.S. Genre TV is always ahead of the curve, even when they still struggle and are learning, as we all are.
