#of course they dont. theyre treating it as a subplot in ONE episode of their comedy show

look i really liked the last episode but i feel like i have to say. the whole ‘just forgive them and move on! that’s the best revenge :)’ scene really made me cringe

#does not feel right #look i love the show but every time somebody says its progressive im like ‘…really?’ #just wrote a huge long post abt how the show mishandles social issues and how i feel about it #(spoiler: im conflicted) #but it hit the tag limit and im too scared to post it anyway so #but yeah. i appreciated the effort for trying to showcase this real important issue in the last ep #but the resolution was a miss for me #which like. makes sense. of course the COMEDY written by a majority white writers room #doesnt give a topic as huge and sensitive and all-consuming as racial injustice #the time and weight and focus it deserves #of course they dont. theyre treating it as a subplot in ONE episode of their comedy show #they were never going to give it the time and focus it deserves #but it still makes me cringe #idk idk i just felt like i needed to mention it #the show is great at deconstructing toxic masculinity #and dismantling logical fallacies present in straight while male communities that lead to an obsession with masculinity #but once the show leaves that narrow bubble of audience it focuses on… woof. things get rough #ted lasso spoilers
