Thank you for saying all of that, it means so much. This completely unjustified hate towards Harper reminded me so much of Sophie. I was so so mad and hurt by that reaction as well. And like you mentioned there’re countless other examples. It’s so easy to see the patern in those reactions. She could’ve been the most likeable character ever, people would still show their true colors. The lack of empathy is astounding, and so so hurtful to rl closeted people, myself included

First, sorry I’m replying so late! Obviously I always wish I could answer earlier but some of these come off more time sensitive than usual. I do hope you feel better now even if…well, nothing’s really changed on that front, just time? Well, and as other anons pointed out, the news that the movie did really well for Hulu. And personally, I feel like I’m seeing a kind of defense spring up to the initial onslaught, so that’s nice.

And yeah, I was way more aggressive when I stated this earlier but have since calmed down and don’t want anyone to feel like I’m attacking them specifically, but we really have seen this again and again, even with more sympathetic characters. And you just can’t separate her from her background and what created her, you can’t be like, yeah, I feel sorry for all that but it’s no excuse, even though, agreed, it’s not an excuse! it’s explicitly understood to be bad, by everyone! It’s just not shown as unforgivable? Which, is that so bad?

There’s just…you don’t have to forgive her yourself, you just have to accept that not everyone will hold it against her. But some people can’t do that to such a degree, they legit think the movie is objectively bad and harmful for suggesting it. 😡

I’m not seeing anything about this on social media. Certainly I don’t expect to see it covered by the mass media. This is truly something we need to fight back against. Even if you don’t have ComcastXfinity, please let your voice be heard.

Amidst a pandemic when we’re all trapped at home, when we’re working from home, schooling from home, and our only entertainment outlets are online, this is cruel and unacceptable. 1.2 terabytes might not be bad for an individual, but if you’re a household of 3 or more, this will be terrible for you.

Make some noise about this please!

This is why we need net neutrality and also why internet needs to be considered a utility, like water and power.

Apart from the “Send Me Back” deleted scene, I’d give anything to see the scene of Dani taking care of Grace from her bedside from that photo in the card game.

I know! Well, I’d also like to see the full scene from the detention center where Dani grabs her face and then whatever happened on the pickup ride where Grace put her hand on Dani’s shoulder and she woke up, so near?? I want those!

But yes, also, they had Dani administering to Grace like THAT five minutes after they met and…they cut it? 

That degaying pass really pisses me off. :<

What would you like to see Carina do if it was up to you? I always felt dumping her on the PRT was a bit of a reach but it would have been an easy way, especially with the pandemic storyline, to add her to the main cast. I agree that character wise, Carina has always seemed really into being an OB so it would be a big change. I wish they’d just promoted her on Grey’s Anatomy and brought her on Station 19 for medically relevant episodes and character/relationship development but oh well.

Yeah, a promotion on Grey’s and then personal story time overlapping both shows, with Maya appearing on Grey’s as much as Carina appeared on Station 19 would be the way to go. But barring that, the show doesn’t seem to have the budget or inclination to do what I’d prefer, which is Carina getting as much screentime and story as Travis and Dean and Jack and the rest, so those pockets of their personal life that we see, that should be Andrew and her job. it’s tough to do that kind of juggling and I don’t think they really want to, just devoting a whole part of Station 19 to the Grey’s world and not in the context of the PRT like with the other doctors that guested.

Right now they’re treating Carina as an extension of Maya’s allocation of personal time and it’s obviously not enough for a whole character. You’d think combined they’d get more, even IF it were just shippy, let alone her own time, but…I dunno, maybe they had plans that got scrapped from covid, maybe they don’t have the resources to create both fire situations as well as obgyn situations. But it’s going to be a bummer if we finish 4a with hardly any of her.

i’m so glad someone else brought up the wilds i’ve barely seen anyone talk about it!! i’m so excited for an all female lead show (the majority of them are also women of color!) i really hope it gets the hype it deserves

Oh, I didn’t really notice that about the makeup of the cast, but awesome! And yeah, I feel like even though it’ll be working against The Prom in terms of online hype, the fact that it’s a show works better for it. Hopefully once it’s out, people will discuss it.
