Gave the series a chance. Got partway through the first ep of The Rig before it had too much gay commie message pushing for me.
- an oil platform that appears to have an equal number of men and women working on it (massive immersion breaker)
- woman has an authority position as the corporate beancounter
- another non-white appearing women is shown as a dyke having a zoom call with her "wife"
- female beancounter was disagreed with the old white man in charge, goes on a rant about how its been happening her whole career, calls him "dinosaur"
- (the dealbreaker) lesbo easily wins a fight with a larger white man
Noped out after 5.
I watched the trailer because I had never heard of this thing, and the environmentalism message also seems to be pretty in your face. Literally in the first 30 seconds of the trailer, when it looked like the rig was suffering some sort of geological event, one of the crew said "When you punch holes in Nature, eventually nature is gonna' punch back." And the show seems to heavily imply that whatever is happening is basically Nature taking revenge for drilling oil, and some of the crew seem to think that maybe they deserve it because they said they should have never been there to do the drilling.
Which begs the question: If you are an environmentalist with an aversion to oil exploration....why are you working on an oil rig?!
Oil Rigging is one of those miserable shithole jobs that nobody but men would do, so the only reason they'd even bother making a show about it is for activism.
Especially as, unlike most of those "job" shows, the rig can't have hilarious disasters happen. Because one thing going wrong is usually either a mangling/killing, a massive ecological disaster, or something even an idiot knows is millions of dollars in losses.
Got to do it the right way, become a Process Operator and do control room jobs. Norwegian platforms do 2 weeks on, 4 weeks off. My friend who does it now spends more time golfing in Spain than he does here.
You don't even gotta get that far. Just being the supervisor on a lot of onshore rigs gets you a job making shit tons of money to sit in the truck all day watching DVDs and then responding to retarded questions.
Because your lesbian girlfriend is only with you because of her massive oil-rig-worker fetish, duh.
This porno probably already exists anyway.
For sabotage, I'd guess.
And I’m curious as to how many women work on oil rigs. But yea I guess any modern day show around oil will lecture you about it
Brother, several cousins and an uncle or two work/have worked on rigs. None of them has ever seen a woman on a rig, outside of a contractor there for an installation/upgrade visit, or a member of corporate.
That’s what I figured. Similar to the shows about fire fighters. They seem to be 50/50. I’m waiting for the show about trash collectors with female representation
Have several family members and friends who are smoke eaters... grand total of three female fire fighters across all their houses and ~20 years of experience. This includes the one that got fired for sexual harassment because she got fake tits and proceeded to walk around topless so people could see them.
I mean, women are represented in shows about trash collectors. Who do you think is represented by the piles of worthless trash?
A leftist is nothing if not a hypocrite.
