But your comparisons are kind of off? I mean look. You posit a "made for men" show as being not necessarily "cancerous to women" (emphasis mine) but when you posit a "made for women" show, you don't mention it being "cancerous" to men, only unappealing. See what you did there? It's because a "made for men" show typically mean women in demeaning, objectified roles, while a "made for women" show typically means "issues that supposedly do not interest men". You're comparing "cancerous" to "uninteresting" as if they're equivalent. And THAT'S why the idea of a show for men and a feminist show end up being mutually exclusive, because two different standards of measure are being used depending on what the market audience for the show is.

As for Black Sails, I haven't seen much of it myself. What I did see where two sex scenes in which a male character with a story arc is pleasured by a group of women who are mostly just background eye candy. The second sex scene is between two women and if you saw it, you might be able to figure out why people are critical of it. There's lesbian porn for actual lesbians. And there's lesbian porn for straight dudes who like lesbian porn. They look... quite different.


Also? "Has at least one awesome female character in it" doesn't necessarily mean it's a feminist show, or that it's a show that doesn't have issues.
