This. It's never cool to see something you love go down like that, but the social justice element is so two-faced. Where was all the outrage when the show was killing off POCs every five seconds?

People tend to get outraged when it's about a character who represents them. If white lesbians are only getting upset now, I don't understand why that's bad.

I've heard about this show a little here and there online and saw some of the reaction to that episode, and the thing that got me the most were the people who felt the show needed to take responsibility for those who were triggered and self-harmed and whatnot after that episode. I can understand people being upset to lose a character they love, as well as seeing a favorite ship end so tragically. And I can also understand people being frustrated at not seeing a happy non-straight couple on TV.

But...I just can't quite get on board with the idea that a TV show should be responsible for a viewer's mental health. I feel for anyone who is struggling with self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and I understand wanting to seek comfort in entertainment that can help people through that stuff. But to blame the TV show for triggering them just seems...I dunno.

Also, from what I do know about this show, it's pretty violent and dark and a lot of people die in general. If somebody wants to watch and root for happy, long-lasting couples of ANY sort, I'm thinking this would not be the show for them.

Oh look, it's someone come to start the Oppression Olympics.

Yeah. Can't be frustrated by both, can we?

Also pale skin = white person because america

Where does this come from on F!S? You guys snark about it everywhere, but I'm sitting here confused as fuck because... I'm American and loads of pale people here are considered nonwhite. Light-skinned Latinos and anyone from the Middle East, just to name the biggest groups.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-12 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
nayrt, and also not American, but I can never figure out exactly what IS considered 'white', because there seem to be a whole long list of exceptions and ethnicities and whatnot. You'd think it would be anyone who looks white or pale-skinned, but no, even that gets into hair-splitting with white-passing and exceptions, depending on the person or the argument at hand.

You might find this interesting; i learned a lot.

Interesting. But ignores middle eastern/non-Christian brown or light-skinned non-whites completely. Among some of those people, it comes down to self-identifying. Especially if you can "pass." But people will never let you forget you're Other, ultimately.

It was a POC who got killed. She was a POC and a lesbian, who would have thought that possible?

(Anonymous) 2016-03-12 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
Lexa was not a POC.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-12 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
She spoke in slang dialect and was dirty all the time, that is pretty much POC right there.
