unpopular Andor opinion?: aside from being sidelined and tortured, I got mental illness from the first live action Latina woman being overtly sexualized in the second episode. I almost had a heart attack.
I get it yadda yadda this is a different series with a darker tone and sexier vibes whatever. But with his sister having possibly worked at a brothel and watching Bix basically be as close to stripping in a Disney Star Wars series when she visits her boyfriend was where I said “literally no women wrote this.”
It’s personally really sad for me for these reasons:
1: it touches on stereotypes of Latines viewed as “exotic” or as objects. A woman can be gorgeous and sexy but also be of VALUE but because her story doesn’t go much further than being tortured it’s really fucking sad that THAT was a necessary 5 minute scene from night to morning. And with the shittiest guy ever lol? Also, it feels like some cheap male fantasy that someone inserted themselves as cassian and was like “haha my hot ex gf fucks this really shitty guy but he told the police on me because he’s jealous and she cares about me more.” We already understand that cassian is a victim of cultural discrimination but to have him on the run be motivated by a jealous boyfriend is kinda weird. There were so many ways it could’ve gone. I also feel this puts less value on her character because her story is heavily determined and driven by the men around her.
2: This is such a contrast to Jyn. Felicity herself was like ‘over my dead body will Jyn be sexualized in any fucking way.’ (Paraphrase lol). And I was SO excited for new women in Andor to be along that same vein like in Rogue One. Where you feel the stakes for these characters because of their stories. It is very refreshing to see female characters be done tastefully. Where they are complicated and grey. This is only one reason why Jyn is one of my top faves (if not top fave of all time). So when I’m hyped for a mechanic/business owner to join the Rogue One universe and you’re telling me she’s Latina(!) and then show me what happens her, I had to MOURN. FOR DAYS. I’m still mourning obviously. I wanted Bix to be the gorgeous woman she is and still do her own shit and have her own priorities. I wanted her to be kind but not at the expense of her own freedom?
They could’ve shown Bix escaping on her own then meeting Cassian under the hotel where he was on his way. She could’ve been written to engineer the helmet when her hands were free to stop the device without the imperials finding out. Her going back for him teaches cassian to go back for people too. Literally the smallest fucking inkling of anything would have helped but she is really reduced to forwarding the plot. She literally gets brainwashed like wth.
This was probably the biggest issue I had with the show. Like it’s still a masterpiece and all but I was so invested in the people and it was just so disappointing. It feels like what I have to feel with Bix almost how I feel with Rey, that whatever happens in the media isn’t real to me whatsoever.

All the jobs I could easily get are jobs I would be super overqualified for and would not pay me enough to live.
The jobs I am qualified for I can’t get, because I don’t have 10+ years experience, because I wasted my youth living for my mother and two emotionally abusive ex-husbands instead of living for myself.
As is tradition.
