Why I'm Moving Out of Shondaland

[ChillyMcFreeze]

HTGAWM spoilers for you skimmers!

Shonda doesn't do a great job of portraying black men. Or maybe I should say she just doesn't portray black men. The black (not interracial) relationships she does write are fleeting, and one partner always goes back to a white lover. I don't know what that says about Shonda or if she's just writing for a largely white audience. But it's definitely noticeable, even for white folks like me.

The Wilson interview, though. I can see boycotting ABC for that.

I'm so sorry my relationship with my white husband hurts this bitch's feelings.

I might have something substantive to say later on but for right now, I'm feeling some kind of way about this heifer.

So only mention of the Black women White man dysfunction? Bitch please. Every single fucking relationship (no pun intended) on her shows are a hot ass mess. However the author of this piece seems to only be focusing on one type. Shonda appears to have an in your face style which is why I gather we have seen so much gay sex as of late. I feel as if shade is being thrown my way so I am not liking what she said.

AMEN! I can't even address the other shit! I want to see the author's saying history and ne assured she has never made a bad choice in men.

Didn't you know you're being oppressed every time you fuck a white man??

And yes, I totally agree that I'd be feeling other ways if white women in Shondaland were getting happily ever afters. Now granted, I only know about Scandal but ain't no body on Scandal happy regardless of race.

[iammalcolmx]

Scandal has a White woman fucking a dude who pulled out her TEETH! The author of this can kiss my black ass.

What kind of fragganacle bullshit is this? I have an attitude already & I'm not even finished reading it!

Whatever. Having sex with a married man because you loooooove him, disregarding how damaging it is to yourself, is totes normal. TOTES!

I saw this drivel earlier. Dislike.

And what the hell does she mean nearly devoid of emotion? I WISH OLIVIA POPE WOULD HAVE LESS EMOTION! I'm so tired of her sniffing every five minutes. COME ON NOW.

Also, who has the power on Scandal, gladiators?



That's right. Because to quote Luvvie, Lemony Snicket (David) stay losing. Cyrus is full of welp ever since he starting whining and crying over getting his boo shot. Fitz ain't good for shit except treating Mellie some kind of way. And there are probably pools up on how many more episodes are left for Jake.

yea, i used to really like scandal, but it's gotten too over the top and HTGAWM was always redonkulous...

did you all discuss when somebody called Sholanda an angry black lady?

I missed that people sent donations to DW. So disgusted.

[secretlyevil]

I think this woman may have displaced anger issues. Like pp said, ain't no one happy in Shonda's shows.

[summer]

I have a hard time getting to the place where boycotting Scandal is necessary in keeping black boys from getting shot.

If she wants to boycott ABC over the DW interview then by all means do that. And there are a lot of reasons to hate Shonda's stuff. But all that up there is some nonsense.

like HTGAWM in general.
