I saw this recently but wasn't as surprised as I'd like to be. That entire show seems like a prime example of something that pretends to be transgressive while ultimately just upholding core social norms. I'm sure it was more legitimately forward thinking at the time of release, but looking back on it, I'm not sure it really was as much so as it's hyped up to be. It reminds me of how some churches have declared themselves more accepting of homosexuality. It's like, a concession made in exchange for keeping the core doctrines socially viable. In sex and the city, sex positivity feels like a concession, and the core doctrines seem to have a lot to do with gender roles, social hierarchy, consumerism, etc. I've only watched episodes here and there though so I may be off the mark.

Community Rules:

~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.

~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
