@adashovelace That is, unfortunately, the norm, but especially so on Trakt. It's heavily male dominated with a certain 'nerdy' flavour. Certain stereotypically male TV shows will show support that seems unprobably high, and vice versa.

Something common here is that people watch one episode, decide they hate it, and rate the entire show down (rather than the episode) as a result. There will have been people who immediately jumped to giving this a 1/10 because they don't understand how a useful system works. I think that is mostly gender-neutral and happens on any show, just compare the rating of a new series with the ratings on the first few episodes. It's typical to see a 60/80 split, for example.

However, whenever there is is a woman featured as the prominent character on the poster, the series rating goes down. If they aren't conventionally attractive, the rating goes down. If the description features anything you could construe as strong-female-lead, the rating goes down. Most of all, if someone watches half the first episode and discover there's a joke directed at a man, an LGBT+ person exists, male actors predominately play side characters, etc, etc, etc then it suddenly because "woke shit" and that moron will rate it a 1/10, artificially deflating the rating due to incomprehensible bigotry.

This site has a lot of it. I have come across literal Nazis in the comments of pro-Nazi propaganda movies from the 30s, and the admins on the site don't do anything when it's reported, so having some way to counteract bigotry when it comes to a handful of shows that involve women or minorities is not something I see them attempting to address.

For me personally, I find it annoying that I can't get an idea of a show at first glance. The ratings don't mean much, good shows get buried, and the comments can be a cesspit. This show could genuinely be awful, but if embarrassing men are commenting about how triggered by wokeness they are, then how am I meant to tell?

@victoriaz As a 20 year old, a lot of aspects of this episodes made me say "yeah that happened to me at one point in time" whether it is about the parents, school life or being bullied or being asked to know what you want for the rest of your life from an early age. It's a lot for a teen. Iman is very likable, it's her first acting joint and she does a very good job. I don't feel the cringy riverdale teenage perspective that writers sometimes use in shows. The first episode is relatable, fun and intriguing. I've loved marvel since I was a kid and I agree some MCU stuff is really bad, it would be a lie to say this episode was really bad. As for the powers, we'll have mr. fantastic later on and they butchered the inhumans so I don't really have a problem with the change as long as they make it good. And they did. Glad to see your problem with the show isn't race related or diversity issue:))) Who cares what they change as long as it's a good change.

@nescobar-a-lop-lop well, maybe it's boring to you. It's a fucking long saga and it's gonna be several seasons, telling a story over the span of 1.000 years so of course the first eps are gonna be full of world building to give context. Not everything has to be fast paced and full of action scenes like a blockbuster.

I just don't understand people who leave comments about how they dislike something. If I don't like something or find it boring, I just ignore the thing, it's that easy. If I don't care about something I don't go out of my way to let everyone know how I don't like it. I just move on to the next thing I could like and let people enjoy what they like. Maybe it's not for me, maybe it's for them, and that's ok, I don't try to ruin it for them.

@eon4dk Oh wow, two female characters in a otherwise set up full of men, such a woke nonsense!!!
If changing the gender of TWO characters without changing the general plot upsets you so much, then you are for a shock when you discover that half of the population is female. Asimov himself admited almost all his characters were men bc he lacked experience with women, so idk why are you so upset about.
And you admited that skincolor was never mentioned in the books, so I don't think it's hard to understand there's more skincolor than white.

But yeah, go say it's a disgrace and a woke nonsense if that makes your fragile sensibilities feel better.

@WitWolfy you never see it from white comedians because they live in a white mans world. As the other comment mentioned, white comedians would do the same if it was a black mans world.

@witwolfy If a white person was in a black man's world, i think we would hear it a lot from white comedians.
