especiallyyy if you claim to hate Robby because he's a white man with bias, as if frank doesn't have clear biases especially in s1??? and not just trinity, also undermining his wife and calling women "females" 'wait.. is this a female thing?' and the "namaste" comment to princess.. etc... or if you claim to hate Robby because he's a dick. as if. jack doesn't have moments where he's a dick. that moment he has with Cassie is seen as sexy but it truly was so rude and patronizing.

the famous mohabbot scene in s1, the pigtail catheter, is received with rounds of applause for the Samira and Jack dynamic. a slew of people who go look how smart he knows she is!! he really believes in her!! he thinks she's capable!! he thinks she's a rockstar!! ugh they're so buzzy!!

imagine. for a moment. if it was Robby instead of Jack. because even if it was the exact same, it would be received wildly different. Robby would be a total dick for pressuring her, for making her do that. it would be called a racial or misogynistic bias because of something something "oh of COURSE he makes the WOC do the risky procedure so if it messes up it's Her Fault :/"

and don't say this is unfounded because we literally just saw this exact thing happen with his scene with Victoria in ep13.

like I love jack and the pigtail catheter scene was great. but everything Jack does is immediately taken in good faith (or erased or purified) and everything Robby does is immediately taken in the worst faith possible and it's exhausting.

this isn’t something where your enthusiasm for your favorite character can meaningfully sway anything in the real world. they have emphasized how they are resistant to offering fan service in a way that will detract from the larger message of the program.

Nick at Nite was when a kid's channel (Nickelodeon) would show reruns of shows from the 1950s-1990s. There was a show called Gilligan's Island where the character were all stuck on an uninhabited island, and every episode is about the inhabitants trying to get off the island. But hijinx and misfortune happen, and they stay there for several seasons of mishaps. The theme song for the show really tells you everything you need to know actually lol

The characters had very archetypal roles:

Skipper = irrasible leader

Professor = intelligent leader/support

Mary Anne = intelligent and sweet

Ginger = the hot one

Mr. & Mrs. Howell = rich and useless

Gilligan = the goofball who makes life harder for everyone because he’s a goof

So this is why Dennis was sensitive to Frank's comments. Frank was making fun of him.
