[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Netflix does this and it's so annoying.  They always plug a gay character love story that has nothing to do with the plot. As a black woman I am all for organic diversity but if every dark skinned black female character has to have a white female lover, I have to think there is an agenda.

This is exactly why it’s [b]annoying and seems so contrived[/b]. [/quote]

Only if you live in a bubble with no queer friends or aren''t a queer viewer yourself. But sure, the inclusion is the problem, not your inability to look outside of your own experience.

I don't have a single friend, in my huge group of friends, who has ever been divorced. For real. Don't see it as contrived when shows feature divorced characters. And in all honestly, I completely live in a race bubble...I have Asian, latino, and muslim friends, but really, no black friends. And yet, doesn't seem contrived to me to see black people on screen. Or to see white friend groups with people of color.

What the hell.
