Tobias and Ax had the best books and that they had to share a line-up slot was a travesty

Pop culture needs another show to give way too much attention to now that Game of Thrones is ending, and I'd like to move we reboot Animorphs for this purpose. I think it can shoulder that burden.

I think the Wheel of Time tv show is finally getting made. They'll probably just sex that up a lot more than what was in the books.

Aside from most male characters having long soliloquies about female characters` breasts, and female characters having long soliloquies about their own and other female characters` breasts, there's also a lot of polygamy and BDSM going on there, as well. But yes, I don't remember sex itself ever being described there, and I will be thrice damned if I ever look it up to check. If nothing else a TV series could be way better about pacing.

One of the great lost treasures of Usenet is The Far Snows Dance, which describes a sex scene between two major characters by using the flowery names for sword fighting forms.

Beachcomber posted:I like Northern Exposure. Northern Exposure was fantastic. Its treatment of Natives wasn't perfect but to this day its one of the only shows to treat Natives as actual humans who have lives beyond their culture and religion instead of showing up as a guest star, getting angry at the protagonist for disrespecting their people or a sacred site or some tradition and then leaving, once the protagonist shows they aren't racist. Its one of the only shows to have Natives even show up.

I was watching the classic MST3K episodes on Netflix the other day and holy poo poo were the transphobic jokes flying fast and furious during ‘The Incredibly Strange Creatures who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies’. It’s a shame because other than that garbage I think it’s a pretty good episode and certainly a deserving movie.

Mr. B Natural is another one that had me sweating and cringing. I guess the other way to put it is that the culture has (in certain ways) improved in 20 years.

They just keep calling Mr. B gay way, way more than I remembered. The jokes about a woman jumping around on a scared child’s bed are still funny simply because they notice something uncomfortable that would have been invisible in the 50s, but talking about Mr. B as a sexless man/woman creature or whatever betrays a total ignorance that is hard to imagine now.

In college I tried to introduce a friend to MST3K by showing her the Manos episode, but forgot about the host segment where they discuss what physical deformities would make for a creepier monster than Torgo and Joel suggests having no nose. My friend was born with severe facial deformities and had had several painful attempts at construction surgery. We stopped the episode right there and I spent a lot of time alternately apologizing and listening. As far as I know she's never watched the show since and who could blame her.

Oh gently caress. I’ve had some awkward instances where I encourage somebody to watch something that contains X thing that’s uncomfortable in one way or another, but never anything that bad. I’d have died of guilt.

After my dog died, my friend showed me an episode of Louie where he did a stand up bit about putting his dog down and that dog not dying, coming back, only for him to put it back down again. And in the same or next episode he was watching a dog and it died or sorta died. Anyway I hated Louie CK after that.

I don't remember the specific episodes but the show Gilmore Girls has several examples of homophobia. And the added a gay character in the Year in the Life specials that almost feels like a gently caress you response to the criticism.

Its not just media. I can't remember the last time me or my friends used the word "human being" as an insult or joke after using it all through our teens and most of our 20s. Its not like it was something we made an effort to do, it just fell from our lexicon.

It feels weird to blame the creators for making poo poo jokes that we, as poo poo people, willingly sought out and consumed in large quantities. My current vocabulary doesn't include gay slurs, but boy howdy when I was younger. That's on me as much as it's on anyone making the stuff I was watching.

The new episode of the Bill Corbett podcasts talks about how they regret alot of the jokes from the previous MST3ks and stuff and pretty much vowed to not do that again. Though of all the older comedy media like that MST3k steps in it relatively the least. I should go back and rewatch Comedy Central Presents.
