why does everyone call sh progressive but they made izzy, the latina, the most oversexualized character (i’m fine with her sexualizing herself but they made her the MOST sexualized and latinas are always hypersexualized when they get any bit of representation) they made that simon and camille scene non-consensual and didn’t talk about how fucked up it actually was and probably more but i don’t watch i’ve only seen some clips so idk what else but like ?? it’s not that progressive chill

well, i can’t say i expect much from a producer whose first description of Emeraude is ‘very, very sexy’ and had said she is ‘very nice to look at’ straight to her face in front of the entire comic con panel (i HATE McG, in case some of you didn’t know). and if we want to there are a lot of other things that can be said about this show, for example the fact that almost every characters that has been racebended (Luke, Camille, Maureen) are or will be Downworlders or the fact that Alec has just been outed without his permission in the lastest episode etc honestly i don’t think these things were written on purposes, just not very well thought. They tried, i would give them that, but i think they still need to put more efforts into it. This is not the first time things like this happened on tumblr though. Take sense8 for example, tumblr went crazy when it first came out and even now, even though there are so many problematic things about it :
