i am so sick of seeing the Noah Wyle is controlling the Pitt narrative i'm seeing since we're starting to get promos for season 3, so i decided to go through and break down the information we have in the hopes that it will make you people realize that not only are you
directly participating in antisemitic propaganda but also
diminishing the work of women and people of color to do so while also claiming to be upset on the behalf of women and people of color
there are thirty episodes of the pitt to date. for visual learners, the table at the top of this post should help. out of these thirty episodes:
20 are directed by a woman or a person of color (or, despite the repeated cries of misogynoir, women of color)
8 are directed by a non-actor white guy
similarly, out of these thirty episodes:
13 are written by a woman or a person of colour
13 are written by one of our white guys
for those who aren't very good at math, that means that noah has directed approximately 3% of episodes, and has written approximately 13% of episodes, giving us an overall involvement of 16%. for comparison, damian marcano, a black man, has directed 8 episodes, giving him an overall involvement of roughly 27%.
in fact, the episode where samira has a panic attack, the episode everyone uses as the example of noah's hatred for women and his apparent racism, was directed by damian and written by simran baidwan, a first generation child of east indian parents who was most likely drawing on her own lived experiences in writing samira's panic attack.
what you guys are doing in this fucking weird smear campaign against noah wyle and the pitt is dismissing the platform the pitt is providing to writers who might not have been given the opportunities elsewhere, who are putting their own lives into writing the show, and who are now having to suffer through your stupid accusations that the writers are racist by using evidence written by people who have the exact same lived experiences as the characters they're writing.
is robby the main character? YES! does that mean that noah wyle's 5 fucking episodes of writing/directing undoes the 20 other episodes that he's not responsible for? NO!
you guys are so obsessed with noah wyle for some bizarre antisemitic reason that you are actively ignoring and silencing the amazing people who work on the pitt.
