Thankfully I saw it before I was aware. But sometimes I’ll skip episodes of old shows if they bring up certain topics. Although the gay dudes in Barney Miller were funny or they were still funny while discussing whatever topic
I guess some major corporation took over and felt something was wrong. Sci-Fi tends to appeal to more men so some moronic corporate suits saw that as an issue. I remember in the early 90s the channel had shows where they interviewed Sci-fi authors or did some sort of deep dive into Sci-fi books. Also they had a lot of great classic shows that aired
I’m still mad about what they turned the sci-fi channel into. That channel debuted when I was 11 and I loved it. They knew their audience and catered to it. As for the news agencies that is no surprise since they are basically Democrat shills so you know what they will say.
It’s honestly sad to see adults act this way. Things happen you won’t like in life and as my dad said a million times “life isn’t always fair”. I guess these people live in such a bubble they thought nobody disagreed with them
And with Stranger Things season 3 they were gonna have that guy and girl at ice cream shop be romantically involved which would’ve been an homage to the reformed jock and nerdy girl trope but they needed to subvert expectations and make her gay
Haven’t read the book but I know one main character is a white blond girl and the author praised the race swap and gushed over how great the actress was and readers asked why didn’t you make her black in the books then
Hope so too
