1 OMG, the new season of degrassi has a a trans guy character as a major character, not a one off.
I WOULD REALLY LIKE THEM NOT TO FUCK UP. and any other teen show, or any other soap, I would assume fail from the outset, but degrassi, though loving the drama, usually goes for respecting their characters, so I have hope. And I can not for the life of me think of another ftm recurring character on tv other than max on the fricking l word, certainly no show aimed young like degrassi. and degrassi is my damn show, srs, idek. I understand I am a grownup, But it is MY SHOW
2 I mean, I get the no kids at VVC thing, so this is just a spin off but all the people who feel like they can't speak freely at a con if there are kids there since the kids might overhear their assbaby tentacle porn conversation, can get over it. Parents who bring their kids to cons know what gets talked about, and can be in charge of knowing when to get their kids away from a conversation near them.

Date: 2010-07-05 10:42 am (UTC)I haven't been watching it on a regular basis since I was in Canada, which would have been like -- wow, 6 years ago -- but I was totally impressed that they could show a teenage girl who has sex, gets pregnant, decides to get an abortion, and there is zero moralizing and judgement involved. So my default expectation is that at the very least they're going to try really hard.
