I just can't resist pointing out the irony of people complaining about privelage on television. Owning a television/computer, being able to afford cable/netflix, and having time to engage in hours of meaningless entertainment are clearly signs of privelage.

It's not a bad thing to try and change trivial aspects of life, but it's sad to me that so much time and effort is being wasted on this while, in the real world, PoC, members of the queer community, and other oppressed peoples are being actually killed and brutalized. I suspect that, if one of your precious televisions were stolen, many of you would call the police, thereby empowering the largest domestic perpetrator of violence against minorities. In a similar vein, tangential references to presidential politics imply that people here believe in the legitimacy of a government that regularly kills oppressed peoples.

The sad fact is, art mirrors life. As long as you are a consumer cog in an oppressive machine, you will continue being spoon-fed the regurgitated rhetoric of the culture inherent to that system. The people who are upset about this are not just members of the LGBT community, they are members who, to whatever extent, have bought into the very system that is discriminating against them. People who have cast off the mass media yoke don't even know who Lexa is.
