OP

[(Anonymous)]

I will admit, I have lots of opinions on it, but they mostly come from the fact that my friends watch it and whenever I spend time with them (and I do quite a lot), they either bring up this show or put it on when it's on tv. I watch it far more than I would like to, but because it's my friends, I put up with it. One of my friends also introduced me to it and wanted me to watch it with her because she thought I would have enjoyed it, so I did. Usually, if I start watching a show and I don't like, I simply stop watching. That time I couldn't because my friend loved it and so I tried to like it by watching episode after episode with her. I don't laugh at the jokes, and my friends believe than I think the show is "alright", but I just can't tell them all the reasons why I actually hate it.

Also, as I said when I replied to another comment, I don't ship Leonard/Sheldon as if it was one of my OTPs - the ship just helps me get through an episode of the show.

The thing I can't stand about it is how everyone is portrayed as sex starved and how having sex trumps everything. Sheldon not getting this is a running gag even though the guy should be firmly established as asexual by now.

That's actually one of the reasons why I don't like the show. I myself am a geek and I'm certainly not starving for sex - granted I'm not male, but do we really need to add "desperate for sex" in the description/portrayal of geeks, too?

I actually always thought Sheldon was asexual. It's pretty obvious he's not interested in sex and I thought that it was "common knowledge", even though it wasn't fully addressed by the show. I was actually a bit worried when they introduced Amy as Sheldon's girlfriend for this very reason. Okay, the audience wants to see Sheldon in a relationship, but should the writers have given into the audience's request like that? A person can be happy and have a satisfying life even without a girlfriend/boyfriend - you could show that to the audience instead. Also, is the show implying that asexual people will suddenly turn sexual because they see a pretty boy/girl, or that forcing an asexual person into a relationship with a sexual person who clearly wants a sexual relationship will turn them sexual with enough time and effort? Right now the writers seem to be handling the whole Sheldon/Amy relationship pretty well, but these kind of things will need to be addressed sooner or later.

I probably think about this too much, but the fact that the show is making me think these things in the first place doesn't exactly make me like it.
