here, have some fail

[rm]

Apparently women and queers are ruining SF.

Torchwood gets a not insignificant amount of text, and, sadly, Dirk Benedict is referenced. If you're thinking this can't end well, you'd be right.

Maybe I'll actually pick it apart for your viewing pleasure later. But maybe I'll actually have something more useful to do instead, like ruining the genre with my homosexual girl-bits or the cock in my dresser drawer or something.

Tell me, SF-ruiners, what's on your agenda today?

In the 1950s there was controversy over the Twilight Zone having so many black characters. Some of the controversy actually seemed to occur not so much over the presence of black characters but that they weren't token characters. In some episodes such as "The Big Tall Wish" the primary actors were black and their race had nothing substantially to do with the story. The message that one could have a story involving black people who were just like white people apparently scared people even more than having token black individuals who acted in a stereotypical fashion.

So 50 years ago the complaint was about black people in SF. Now the complaint is about gays and women. What group will this focus on fifty years from now?
