no nuance november except i do provide nuance because letâs be educated: criminal minds edition
1. spencer getting mad at jj and the whole fight thing during 7x02 was completely ridiculous. it was a spy mission and its the fucking fbi, jj couldnât go around telling literal fbi secrets and when reid shoved his addiction at her, that was the biggest guilt tripping thing ever and jj didnât deserve that at all (also reid getting snippy with her was not it and giving her the cold shoulder)
2. you guys ignore elle, morgan, and jjâs (and probably others but iâm blanking rn) trauma all in favor of reid. we shouldnât compare trauma but the way you guys obsess over reid getting hurt yet when itâs a woman or a poc you guys just ignore it and then villanize them (jj and elle). itâs just sexist and racist and thereâs no excusing it.
3. speaking of elle, you guys got mad at her for going rogue?? she killed a literal rapist???? like literally go her. but you guys got mad at her for snapping at the team??? thatâs what trauma does to you like god forbid the traumatized woman snaps again, see point 2
4. idc what anyone says ashley seaver is annoying and was so god damn bland, call me sexist but i simply did not vibe with her especially when she was unnecessarilyrude to spencer (i probably donât like her cause she was meant to be a younger jj cause cbs thought the show wouldnât do well with older women)
5. speaking of people being rude to spencer, when they (the bau) tell him to shut up???? like it doesnât take a profiler to know that he likes his facts and tid bits of info getting validated and when his friends shut him down??? like thatâs not cool bro-
6. i am so sorry but i just hate how quirky garcia is like itâs just so annoying and i try to love it but i am so sorry i know everyone loves her but i simply am not on the same vibe length with her đŞâď¸
7. someone shouldâve called reid out for being a dick to emily during his addiction post revelations. like just because someone is going through it does not mean they get to be an ass (but i also do wish at least one of the team members comforted reid about his addiction besides that vague thing we got in jones with gideon because they comfort strauss but not their own team member?? huh??)
8. if you know that emily was supposed to be a lesbian and you still ship hotchniss (or any other emily/male character),,,, thatâs lowkey homophobia luv
9. elle greenaway is a lesbian (have you SEEN her hatred of men, she was the stereotypical mean lesbian and good on her)
10. i know thomas gibson got fired but couldnât they have written a better exit for hotch??? like my man just stopped showing up a few episodes and then got announced he was going into witness protection??
11. elephants memory is def one of the top 3 best episodes of criminal minds
12. writing maeve in..... was a choice. i love the actress (beth riesgraf) with my entire heart but she was the literal women in refrigerators trope and she honestly deserved better
13. the writers of the show making gay men predatory but not including gay men protagonists???? like ik cbs said no to bi!reid and lesbian!prentiss but the least you could do is like not make the lgbt community villains and predators when itâs a common stereotype???
14. the way you guys write jj so ooc in your fics- sexismâ¤ď¸
15. on a final note, most of the cast has done something bad and lowkey problematic yet they havenât done anything to improve even when they were called out,,,, stop stanning people you donât personally know
