Reply to comment by platoprime in Does Don Winslow introduce endless female characters just to write explicitly about their bodies and sex lives? by hammnbubbly
I don't think there is, I think the difference is diplomacy and semantics. People who dislike it dislike it because they are judging it through that lens. So the difference between dislike and judgement is how you perceive the person complaining about it views the readers who enjoy the series. So it's not dislike of the work vs. judging the author, it is probably more so dislike of the work vs. you feeling judged.
Same thing happened with the Orson Scott Card controversy, lots of emotional meltdowns to be seen of people defending their enjoyment of his works. Not that this is all that similar, I do believe that Jim Butcher makes Dresden an ass on purpose and is not himself a hardboiled misogynist.

Butcher is kind of shooting himself in the foot here, where the genre he's bouncing off of is largely sexist and he's playing into it. So yeah, it's a bit, but it's also a bit much.

Debatable, if it is made of wood then OP is surfing on a piece of alien plant matter. Life is thought to have been instigated by alien asteroid water, after all.

I think the poo stare is actually them watching you watch their surroundings. Like if a bear jumped out of your neighbor's garden shed you would probably indicate that Toby should pinch that one and get back home asap.

After Rise of the Planet of the Apes came out, Koko's handlers unironically produced a video of Koko criticizing humanity, just a whole political speech.
Outside of that, I think Koko was pretty good at asking for oranges. Honestly, language is hard and it's difficult to tell a gorilla what they're allowed to do.

Gotta remember that entertainment news is a vicious cycle. Reddit reacts to media, media reacts to users reacting, and users post these regurgitative articles.

I'm just impressed that they had three coherent arcs within 11 episodes. A lot of writing these days feel stretched out and bloated so it was refreshing. I do think "rebellion before the rebels, following a bunch of nobodies" won't be for everyone though.

For me this has been the only consistently good Star Wars media since The Mandalorian, which was three years ago.

It's useful for viewing conservative media without getting spammed by Pordan Jeterson memes.
