One of the things I enjoy about the show is its musings on themes, like morality and RL issues. For example, does anyone remember Octavia's scene with Lincoln in Arkadia, preoccupied with her own social marginalization, she basically told Lincoln how to be a real grounder!? While I can understand her visceral reaction due to her past, lets just say that scene didn't went well with me, especially since she actually knew where he was comming from..


 * "it's embarrassing to be a part of this fandom sometimes."

Honestly, I think that despite some bad feelings overall this fandom understand that it was an unfortunate chain of events, which actually resulted in some positive outcome in RL, it is only the actions of the toxic few who took to bullying that are embarrassing.


 * " But hey, can't argue with people who have the mindset that straight white men are the most evil people on this planet."

Btw, such conceptualizations are actually rather common. In politics, people often find comfort in self-fulfilling echo chambers, and thrive on demonizing the political "other". Its the trap of the vague "self vs other"..

Anyway, don't we have a thread for this kind of crap. I'd rather talk Chai Romruen ->
