^yep.

thing is, jroth knows exactly what he's doing. he dropped phrases like "straight white male" and "I’ve been listening, reading everything I could." but he hasn't - he wouldn't have said the things he did if that was the case. or he hasn't been reading enough of the 'right' material, for a lack of a better word. and then: "then were to look back at the way I behaved on Twitter leading up to it, which was celebrating this relationship that then crushed them" it was NOT just the hours leading up to the episode. it was the days and weeks and months leading up. to. season. three.

second of all, this cherry on top of the cake, said by the interviewer:

"You’ve killed children, you’ve killed people of color, you've killed Grounders and Mountain Men. You do have a non-discriminatory death toll on this show."

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????? so........because ~everyone dies~ it is totally well and fine to be mindlessly killing poc right alongside lgbt* characters.

buddy. the point is over here.

yet jroth's response: "That’s true, this is world where we treat everybody equally"

im gonna refer to the cookie analogy again: person a has a plate of 100 cookies and person b has a plate of 1 cookie. take away 1 cookie from each of them bc that's ~equality.~ except now person a has 99 cookies left to enjoy and person b has none.

when both person a and person b have 100 cookies on their plate, then go ahead and start preaching about "treating everyone equally."

and then ofc they go right back to: "More characters that we love are going to die this season and it’s going to happen soon."

it was really nice knowing you, lincoln. :(

"whole sort of accusation of queer baiting"

yes. it. was. queerbaiting. the """"accusations"""" are correct. what would you label it as? ~product promotion~??
