Yeah it's not as big of a deal, and I sometimes think they use over negative hype as a form of marketing when they have nothing else and don't know how else to market it.

Which is lazy. Just like the show. I dunno, the writing just felt so bland and trying to be edgy because "look at how many people will be pissed at what I wrote" instead of actually thinking of something clever. Sorry the meh shows piss me off more than the garbage cause it feels like they know better.

So that's your perspective and it's valid and matters. If you consider the perspective of others, you may find it's not lazy, but actually one of the only forms of representation in mainstream media of these ideas. People are particularly butthurt when you include their nostalgia and find it an afront (sp?) to them.

So whereas one familiar but not invested may see an on the nose literal call out of how "we already know these groups feel," the aforementioned, underrepresented groups' members may see themselves finally represented on screen.
