So like. I agree that casting her seemed like pandering, and I think it was indicative of one of the problems with the new series - even though I liked it a lot overall, they were clearly very aware of, and playing to, the show's status as a nerd shibboleth.

But I wish you didn't have to frame it around Day being nothing more than "fap material". Because I don't think it's true, and you don't even really need to mention to explain why it was pandering. It's not pandering because Felicia Day is "fap material", it's pandering because Felicia Day was popular. It's really reductive and shitty to frame it that way.
