Excellent Show - New era of post SJW feminist drama?

It's not free but it's done in a proper and non-annoying way.

The propaganda is limited to mostly presenting the actual fact that women were not well received in that environment in that era but the inertia was not that big. The males were mostly surprised to see a good female chess player than outright denying her to play. Plus: they accepted her as a peer quite easily once she proved her self.

And as she grew famous she was still a curiosity but not in a very bad way. There were still jabs at "a woman should rather stay home and know her place" but I would say normal for that era -the 60s.

But beside that an excellent show, whatever propaganda might be in it can be overlooked for the overall feeling. Plus: she is not the regular SJW Mary Sue and she is growing and learning through the show, in all aspects of life, plus she does a lot of "mistakes" and is far from perfect.

There will not be a second season, the story is done. And in a very satisfying way.

I'm not familiar with the work, but this sounds almost like parody. Without any context, I would think this is reductio ad absurdum or argumentum ad absurdum: "females are strong and independent badasses, white males are pathetic rapists!"

In other words, taking such an extreme position to prove the general idea of the position is stupid.

Imagine thinking tv is out to get you. Could never be me.

Seems as if you have already decided to dislike the series. There is no second season. It is based upon a novel and adheres very closely to it.

This is television, not a minefield. Your posturing is juvenile at best. Hahaha.

Are you talking about Godless? I didn't think Godless was all that feminist, actually. I don't know how to put spoiler covers on text here so I won't say more, but I felt the feminism was just a patina over a much more interesting story underneath.

Agree with what you say though about many shows saving the propaganda until the audience is invested. It gets a bit old and blah.

i'm a bit befuddled by your original comment that you didn't want some women are badass bullshit, when in fact that is precisely how it ends...She beats the dominate white male grand champion... which of course was total bullshit as no woman has ever won the world championship in chess, so this was yet again another women can do anything movie which ignored the reality of chess, which is pretty much stratified into a womens and mens breakdown just like golf or tennis where the reality is women just don't ever seem to be as good as the best men. Though I guess most people unfamiliar with chess would realize that chess is really another sport where gender seems to pop up and show a difference exist between the sexes.

I thought that was a very real and meaningful moment. And it was the third and final time that word came up in the series. Pity you were to squeamish to continue. And no, they’re not all the same.

What a ridiculous complaint...

You threw a tantrum on social media over Cuties, didn't you?

I agree, although I made an additional post a bit further up saying I really thought it was only really bad at the beginning of the final episode.

Namely, the exposition of her friend's post orphanage life was eye raisingly bad. That's the problem with blatant SJW writing right there - it takes you completely out of the story by taking the agenda pushing too far. I haven't read the book but I'd happily bet that entire part was a special inclusion for the show - Why couldn't she just have had a black friend who was there for her?

They then also shoe-horned in that flashback with her mother giving her a special anti-male speech.

You long for the days when everyone on the screen were white and straight, don't you?

And?.. What's wrong with that, exactly?
