@nytopinion @peytonology When I was a kid, there was a girl in my class who always played football with us during lunch-break, got in fights, and was the very definition of a 'tomboy'. Nobody gave it a second thought. She's happily married now with 4 kids. I'm glad, for her, that she grew up back then.
People who judge everything by representation: "I love this!"
People who judge everything by how 'woke' it supposedly is: "I hate this!"
Me, who judges everything by how good it actually is: "I don't like this."

@witchernetflix The Wire is one of the most critically acclaimed and loved TV shows of all time. Had a gay female cop (Kima) and a gay male criminal (Omar). Plenty of scenes included gay kissing/sex. Nobody cared. People go nuts when it's a fantasy IP though. Too many changes to source material?
@RareIrishStuff There's never been a Christmas ad to top it on Irish TV, because people could relate to it. Now every ad is plinky-plonky piano music & a singer who sounds like she's just woken up; over some contrived, maudlin tug-at-the-heart strings 'scene' copied & pasted from John Lewis.
