again, this is just my perspective, so please, no hate intended:

leasbian death trope is real, but sorry, so what? it is s trend, if the show runners want to do it, its no difrent from american movies making the good guy win, or that whole "its just a dream" plot..... ways of making movies and tv shows, nothing more, sorry....

self harm? really? she was controled and that scene was pretty damn good acting, if you tried to kill yourself, then that was your decision, noone elses. the fact that you cant control those emotions and that seeing stuff like that gets to you, means you need help, show di not make you do anything so dont blame them for making a dark plot.... seriously, what about horror movies? others, who just claim that it was wrong, its a plot.... dark plot....

rape scene.... debatable.... maybe, but it was probably more domination than anything else.... again, if something like that hapened to you, it was wrong, but the show is not to blame for that.... and what they put in their own show.... i spit on your grave.... 3 movies, so.....

now, to the writing stuff.... there i agree, stupid, unedited and too rushed.... but really, if the show puts something in.... dont be too emotional about it, not everything is a conspiracy you know.... just because you see something it doesnt mean youre right... jr bullied ricky off the show and made pike kill him for drama... nothing else, no black peoples opression here....

with all that being said, i would just like to point out that this is just my opinion, nothing else, nothing more.... i do not intend to ba an ass or anything, and i like seeing other peoples opinions, but honestly??? taking away the piss poor excuse for writing, the acting was and is amazing.... and some people seem to make to big of a deal out of nothing.... I'm agreeing with you on the troupe idea. Though it's ended up being a cliche and upsetting people so, maybe ease up a bit! That would be a better strategy.

Also, DON'T take self-harm lightly. Self harm SHOULDN'T be promoted. I have a close friend who has done that to herself out of desperation and depression and frankly, she did it because she didn't have anyone to talk her out of it by simply telling her "It's a bad idea. Talk to me instead and we'll figure it out." I agree, Raven wasn't really herself and I pointed out too, but some people see it as promotion to a REALLY bad action.

As for the Murphy scene, I don't label it. Murphy is already too complex in my head to call it rape. The guy has a con behind a con, in his head, trusts only himself and doesn't really give a damn as long as he keeps his neck away from sharp objects.

Yes, true, sometimes people read too much into things, but it's human nature. There is a conspiracy theory ON EVERYTHING. So, a showrunner none the less should anticipate this. Hell, I am a writer and I am uncomfortable with overstepping boundaries on some topics. Simply because of people's overperseption.

Also, I don't think anyone will disagree on the acting part. Ricky only had like 6 scenes the whole season and he still was an excellent performer despite the bullying and feeling down.

(Sorry if you didn't expect a reply to that, but I got a bad habit of replying when I have an opinion to give. Sorry :P)
