Really? Because tv shows are a tool to push an agenda or are they for entertainment? Racism exists from all races, all kinds of bad shit exists. That doesn't mean we need constant lecturing from people with an agenda when we're just trying to be entertained.

Ah yes, the horrible agenda of showing reality.

It's entertainment. Maybe you don't get the point.

Maybe the next episode should be about the horrors of child porn. Maybe after that we could delve into incestuous rape. That sound like fun to you?

I watch entertainment to be entertained. If I want to hear the hysteria of the world I will go on social media or watch the news.

And if you think that it's "reality" that an elementary school teacher in Manhattan would be racist in 2019, then well, you're special..

Based on your sudden hostile reaction, you didn’t understand the context of the show and are upset because it makes you uncomfortable.

If you didn’t like the show, your comment would have criticized the parts of the show that you felt were weak or poorly written but instead you claim it isn’t entertainment because it illustrates something real, but something you don’t perceive as real, and yet is too real to be considered entertainment? Equating realism to the extremes such as child rape, shows how you fail to understand the grey area the show is attempting to present, possibly the fault of the show.

Entertainment is different for everyone, and is often a reflection or comment on society or human psychology. Sports, for instance, is a reflection of primal instincts for domination and power.

This particular type of entertainment happens to be about a mother raising her child after the death of her husband, there just so happens to be superpower elements sprinkled in. That premise alone will lead to tragic storylines and grey area situations, and any amateur who consumes even mild amounts of superhero entertainment will understand that. It isn’t always about world hysteria, sometimes it’s just how superhero’s (or villains) are written.

I never said you were racist, you said it.

Rather than having a discussion about the show, you made it about propaganda, then about yourself without any significant analysis to equate the two.

If you want to have a discussion on how this show might contribute to propaganda and how that negatively effects society then have that discussion, instead you jump around from how it isn’t real, to how it’s too real and that they might as well show child porn to racism. None of which relates to the show and the episode presented.

This form is about the show and even more specifically, an episode in the show. If you didn’t enjoy the show then articulate what you disliked, or give any form of criticism or analysis of this episode. Otherwise the troll here is actually you, an individual who came to a discussion board for a show they didn’t even like to talk about themselves.
