#cabenson is endgame - Lacking personal space 18 seasons (and counting?๐ค) on SVU ๐
@SVUWritersRoom @nbcsvu (we saw what you did there ๐) @warrenleightTV
@Larkin2112 @msterrybrown @Millie_Morris Ditto. I find your posts very insightful Terry. This was a good conversation, Iโve found it very cathartic too ๐
@msterrybrown @Larkin2112 @Millie_Morris I think thereโs always room for people to learn & grow in general, even when itโs a positive situation. But when itโs a crap situation like this, & u can help others see it as u live it? Thatโs pretty awesome
@msterrybrown @Larkin2112 @Millie_Morris Larkin itโs okay to be sensitive, I get it ๐ Itโs a tough gig at times hey. Thatโs a very fair request to make of Christine or anyone within a conversation that is sensitive.
Terry youโve touched on a great point, that this is a great way for people to learn & be informed.
@Larkin2112 @Millie_Morris @msterrybrown I vividly recall many instances where fans were quite vicious in stating they donโt see Liv as gay, or other main cast members for that matter.
So long as ppl are recognising anotherโs pain, and not rubbing salt in the wound, I donโt see an issue x
@Larkin2112 @Millie_Morris @msterrybrown I donโt think thatโs fair to ask Christine to not give her very polite view. I can see and respect both of your points of view, even though Iโve seen Liv gay as a float parade since S2. But Christine u werenโt disrespectful in yr views, & I appreciate that u were so kind abt it +
@Larkin2112 @msterrybrown @Millie_Morris That was a messy period in the fandom ๐ I feel like this situation is gonna be 2.0. Which makes me feel old ๐
@Larkin2112 @msterrybrown @Millie_Morris On scenarios that can destroy a character, remember the pink suit that signified the death of gay Olivia all those years ago? My heart canโt take that shit again ๐๐ Putting it out in the universe so that we donโt get dealt something like that again
@Larkin2112 @msterrybrown @Millie_Morris But even through my disappointment, Iโm trying to also remain realistic in the sense that even if the writers room perfected everything theyโve gotten wrong thus far in writing a queer arc for the show, thereโs still ppl above them that can destroy all of this. And that blows
@Larkin2112 @msterrybrown @Millie_Morris Errors from yest & completely destroyed a very loved 20 yr character, as well as crucifying the queer story. Both options would hurt though
@msterrybrown @Larkin2112 @Millie_Morris I agree, my concern for the integrity for the show lies with TPTB. Unfortunately the writers canโt spell out what we already know about their prejudices ๐
@msterrybrown @Larkin2112 @Millie_Morris What Christine mentioned is how Iโm feeling, having a legitimate concern if the writers would give a 20 season character an authentic queer story. Iโd be pretty devastated if we receive โcharacter assassinationโ simply bcoz the writers room were trying to give the fans rep
@msterrybrown @Larkin2112 @Millie_Morris A bitter reminder. That the writers room revealed what they did yest, it makes me nervous at what they would offer the audience now :/ even if they have learned from it
โEveryone will need to process this in their own ways, and nobody has a lock on the best way to do that.โ This ๐
I sure do hope that everyone from the writers room, up to DW, will learn from this & grow from this, & move the show into 2019 & lead w love & respect
