Well, at least they didn't break stereotype with the child molester


Of course he was a middle-age white male.

They threw us a bone that he was in a mixed marriage, so all is good.

I mean seriously, couldn't we get an African American or Latino child molester just once?

What I figured, none of you ultra-left pseudo movie critics want to touch this topic...just as long as you get your strong female leads, black-washed super heros and over represented LGBTQ characters.

Literally all the main characters on this show are white. Your complaint about an interracial marriage and a white child molestor on this show makes no sense. Are you just straight up trolling to get a rise out of people?

Not complaining about "interracial marriage" ...but EVERY time Hollywood decides to broach child molestation in a story line, you can confidently bet the house the offender is a white male, typically middle-age. Saps like you don't care because it fits neatly into your stereotype...and it also doesn't offend your politically correct agenda not to label minorities as anything less than "macho" villains.


Wow I didn't realize you knew me so well personally that based on my 3 sentence post you could judge my character so fully. Don't feel like being called names by someone on a message board so I'll leave you to your thread alone.

LMAO...mods deleted my previous reply (and suspended me for a week) because I inferred that you are a "sap" ...probably because your sad ass reported me

Yet you come back and start flaming again. Good luck with that.

And I need a safe space yet you're the one who's so upset that a show with a predominantly white cast didn't cast a minority as a child molestor; yup I sure am the delicate flower between us.

reply

it's the pc crowd ---like those who refuse to cast a minority as a child molester, and instead will only cast white males--- that is the cause of america's decline

Was mainly an all white show, but sure it was a middle age white male. It didnt really bother me, didnt even really notice it. Maybe they just didnt want to take some risks with a small side story character, maybe your just seeing things. Just finished last episode, cant say I ever felt they were trying to push an agenda, its just a show about a haunted house imo, pretty good one.
