So in the fourth season they had several episodes that addressed race a lot more directly. The one that sticks in my mind was one where Terry Crews gets profiled by a fellow cop and arrested at his own home, and the whole precinct (inc the captain) have to deal with it (and his young daughters' reactions to it). The show 10000% isn't perfect and could do better here, but I think unfortunately they did it after you stopped watching.

Coming from a place of privilege myself, I struggle with it too and I know a lot of my friends do as well.)

I heard about that one and actually watched about half of it, but I couldn’t finish it after Terry confronted the racist cop and he refused to apologize and then Holt doubled down by being a real pig stooge and not supporting Terry when he wanted to file a complaint.  Too current, too real, too much for me to laugh at.  I’m sure they resolved it in a way that made it all okay but I’m just not in the business of sugarcoating one of the biggest problems in America.

i feel like this is a reason a good # of ppl are uncomfortable with the show. like, great comedy and it does have an episode here and there that addresses some thing but its also a show showcasing a dream world NYPD & ignoring a lot of problems with police force

As a 30+ year old person who's been queer for years, as the child of someone whose best friend was queer and died of AIDS in the 80s, I'm sorry you're getting a lot of ill-informed, uneducated Opinions thrown at you.

"crumbs" (2015) if you can get ahold of it

it's a short film, but "pumzi" on youtube. african scifi

watch "advantageous" on netflix yes yes

del toro's spanish-language scifi/fi works aren't always poc maybe as defined by americans, but they do look at class and strata that's very mexican under the creepy monster layers

crhodey answered your question “does anyone have any movie recs for like,,,,diverse fantasy/sci-fi?”

Try Ice Fantasy on Netflix. It's a Chinese TV show that's like Lord of the Rings meets a soap opera.

'Alright' is 100% a word according to Merriam-Webster and the OED. It's less common than "all right", but it's perfectly fine to use, especially in informal settings.

Some hotel banquet halls that can be divided into multiple spaces have slender poles where the dividers go?

I'm so glad you found the review! I wasn't sure if you got the message I sent you. I love S&L, can't wait to see where it goes!

I didn’t! It was a pleasant surprise, I just randomly glanced at my website stats and saw a bunch of clicks coming from AV club. I’m just so glad my inspiration, style, and story are coming through so well, even though I’m still just starting out!

Seriously im just here like hugging myself and smiling at all the other work you compared me to. Starship Troopers? Alien? MGDMT??? Also I had never heard of Saint for Rent but I’m reading it now thanks to you!

I’ve been busy working on commissioned work and developing my professional portfolio, so it’s been tough finding the time to get to this project. It’s definitely inspiring to read such encouraging words, though, so I hope you stick around for what’s coming! I’m really hoping to have Snakes & Ladders ready to pitch to Hiveworks by June, and seeing this has def lit a fire under my butt by reminding me what this has the potential to be.
