There was this show that started in 2013 where TL;DR the entire premise was trying to find out who this criminal mastermind guy really was and why he was obsessed with a specific female FBI employee. It was vaguely baited as romantic as a smokescreen but was quickly made clear to not be that. Apparently the game plan from the first episode, according to the writers, was for him to be the FBI person’s mother that had transitioned, to be revealed whenever the final season was.They wanted to do it in season 8, but it was rejected by the network because they didn’t want a tranny show. So instead they extremely heavily implied it, as heavy handedly as they could get past the executives, killed off his daughter and made the show as terrible as possible so it would get cancelled. After their final paychecks cleared some writers started talking about it in public. This made the people that the executives were worried about upsetting very upset, so now most discussion around the show eventually involves someone sperging out about trannies and calling James Spader too bonemasculine to plausibly have XX chromosomes (which, lmao).So yeah transphobia ruined this random crimeslop thriller show.
Its funny when rightoids cry that trans people are being pushed in the media when its the opposite
>>42783230Rightoids struggle to find evidence for most of their retarded opinions and claims. Their data is biased, intentionally altered, or a flat out lie pretty much all of the time. They can only continue the grift in an echo chamber to drown out anything that might blow a hole in the facade.
>>42782758>They wanted to do it in season 8, but it was rejected by the network because they didn’t want a tranny showSo instead they killed Liz (the FBI employee) without answering any question (not just the tranny one).I watched the show religiously (it had 10 seasons).Still, overall it ended well. Reddington lived and died however he damn pleased and always in his own terms till the bitter end. Based af.
>>42782758>>42783230>>42783425>remember this [ancient shit nobody cares about] it was cancelled because transphobia! i'm being genocided! you are living a perpetual delusion where your opposition is constantly taking imaginary L's that never happened, unc.
Never knew that. Holy based. Trans people can actually be such interesting pot devices if people would not be cowards.
>>42784629Exactly, it was so much more interesting than him just being her dad or wanting to fuck her or whatever. Especially because there was this element of, his claimed reason for doing it was as the ultimate disguise to protect himself and his daughter, but there were actually a hundred different things he could have done to prevent that. So there was this implied element of cope of him pretending on one level that it was something he had to do for business/parental reasons, instead of just what he wanted to do that also happened to solve some problems. He has a degree of guilt and ambivalence over it, which is just insane amazing work for some whatever network show that was never regarded as deep or a prestige show. He’s also in contact with his dad, who pre-reveal is presented solely as “Katerina’s” (his old name) dad, and is constantly nasty to him about how he “killed his daughter”, which is so fucking raw and real on rewatch. They legit made the best fictional trans man of all time.>>42784469It’s a guilty pleasure because the “he’s a Redditor come to life” accusations make me feel bad about it, but he’s so fucking based and such a pure power fantasy. It’s crack. I love him. I can’t believe I didn’t watch it for a long time because I thought that they were being set up as a romance and found the age gap gross.
>>42784571Stop ruining TV chud
>>42786052He still oozes sex lol, what is it about that man?
>>42786956Yeah he’s something else. When he was in his prime, my goodness.
