#not to mention Austin saying zimon have a physical chemistry they need to explore like that's so fucking racist goddhdndhdjdj

It genuinely stresses me out a little when tv shows write a character that has so many borderline toxic traits but is portrayed as the "good nice guy" within the narrative like you're telling me a whole collaborative effort between cast and crew and no one is able see how fucked up that is???

#this one is for u #max richman #u little shit #no but I've been thinking about it since i watched that video essay #he's literally the root of all of zoeys insecurities #and the show goes aww he's such a good guy it just the wrong time for them #feels like I’m being gaslighted #see the problem with men writing other men as the nice guy #they project themselves into the character #like the amount of alarm bell ring in my head is kinda triggering at this point #also bc the s1 finale is fresh in my head #its absolutely INSANE to me that having max say i told mitch how i feel about his daughter like it's something sweet #it’s so narcissistic to centre your feelings in that moment it was so damn weird godkdncjdjd #and i know they're trying to say look how messy emotions are yes true but they've way past that #simon and zoey arguing in 1.10 was messy and then later cathartic #what max does is genuinely manipulative at best and abusive at worst #not to mention Austin saying zimon have a physical chemistry they need to explore like that's so fucking racist goddhdndhdjdj #and i know they have an episode about racial bias and yet this kind of micro-aggressive racist as trope is what will happen #do not cast black people in a love triangle with yts if ur going to have them objectified as being good for lust/sexual chemistry #like its a textbook racist trope #and the gag is simon is a better friend!!!! #god i cannot believe im getting this heated over hets #but sometimes man racism just makes my brain go very haywire in a bad way #its so annoying and frustrating when creators enable their racist fans #:/ #zoeys extraordinary playlist #zoey x simon #annnnnnnnd [rest] #shut up sarah
