[The Big Bang Theory]

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
But the show is racist. And sexist. And anti-Semitic. And really awful in general.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
I probably have seen maybe twenty to thirty episodes max, but I still think that you're maybe being a little bit dramatic.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Fandom apparently has a gigantic hate-on for BBT. I think it's a pretty stupid show for a lot of reasons, but I can't quite fathom how it's able to command such depth of anger in people.

How is it anti-Semitic?

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
Because Howard is Jewish and yes, they make jokes about that as well.

It could be the case that they're awful to him because they're awful people, not because they're racists.

Especially Leonard. Fuck that guy.

(this is still compatible with the idea that the show is at times racist for the record)

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Uggggh, Leonard. He was the reason I stopped watching. Boring, passive-aggressive asshole.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
I think he might be my least favorite portrayal of a nerd in anything, ever.

I like Leonard and don't think he's better or worse than most characters.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too, fellow anon! I'm baffled by the hate people have over here.

I love Raj, too :)

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
But then he gets horrible when he's drunk.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he does! I hate that. Usually he's an okay guy and all of the sudden, he's a totaly asshole and I hate him. Meh. It IS just a show.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
I love Raj as well. I don't watch the show a lot but he was always my favorite. I am still sad and annoyed that they wrote him as a sexist asshole when drunk. It seems so OOC and not at all funny.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
That show has fallen apart completely. Stick to the earlier seasons. Such a waste of a superb cast.

Well, he was the character that annoyed me the least, from the few episodes of the show that I've seen. I never found it funny. :T

Secret 15 - The Big Bang Theory (TV series)

[personal profile] transcriptanon 2013-12-11 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Picture is Dr. Rajesh Koothrappall, better known as "Raj", as portrayed by the actor Kunal Nayyar, from the TV series "The Big Bang Theory". He is a man with olive skin and short dark brown hair parted near the middle. He is smiling and wearing a light green, cream and pink striped shirt, and a gray and yellow vest and a purple jacket.]

Not secret: I would LOVE to have a friend like him. He's adorable, a great cook, throws awesome murder mystery parties and he's my favorite character on Big Bang Theory. The secret? I'm starting to resent the rest of the cast for putting him down all the time and have to keep telling myself that it's just a show, they're not REALLY racist...

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
The show can be really funny, but it's taken a huge turn downhill. The jokes at Raj's and Penny's expense have gotten really old. This coming from a person that fell in love with the show and gorged on every single episode to catch up with the current season last year misses the old episodes. What happened to fresh and funny? It's still humorous in its own way, but I don't rush to catch up on missed episodes any longer.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
This. I love the older episodes, and the direction this show has taken makes me sad.

IMO Season 3 or 4 onward should be regarded as some type of re-boot, re-make, or spin-off.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
HEY GUYS HAVE YOU HEARD?

HOWARD'S MOM IS FAT!

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
I just wanted to say that Kunal Nayyar is a fucking stunning looking man.

Esp when he has a bit of scruff.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-11 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
fuckin agreed.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-12 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I gave up on this show ages ago but Raj is still the cutest thing. Actually, all the actors (esp Kaley Cuoco) are really great, I just wish they had better gigs.

"I gave up on this show ages ago but Raj is still the cutest thing. Actually, all the actors (esp Kaley Cuoco) are really great, I just wish they had better gigs."

KC is my least-favorite of the bunch, but I second everything else you said.

I think it's fascinating that BBT has sky-high ratings and yet the online fandom is more or less dead. This show might have millions of "viewers", but it no longer has fans, and I find that very telling. I keep coming across BBT-themed sites, tumblrs, et cetera, that haven't been updated in two or three years. The number one show in the country isn't even in the top 50 fandoms on FF.net.
It really shows how Internet fandom is a different group of people (more discerning?) than the general public.
This might sound paranoid, but the show itself seems to discourage any non-canon shipping or thinking outside the box, and that's not conducive to writing fanfic or other creative endeavors on the part of fans.
