This is a horrible situation that brings the extremely valid needs of two sets of marginalised communities into stark opposition, and I don't know what the right response is.
I can tell you what the WRONG response is: saying Black people are ableist because they don't want to be called a slur.
Sorry, still mad about this. I gave this film so much grace! I rolled with the repeated 'It's OK's! But why is this Tudor woman expecting her husband to behave like he has access to therapy? Why is she bitching at him for being away? Woman, he has at least three mouths to feed.
If you don't want to engage with the period, why make a period drama?
i saw it last weekend and still had my coat on when i hammered out a thread on all the things that made my eye twitch.

Also who the hell is surprised at lusting for The Creature. For example, there was a production directed by Danny Boyle where Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Miller alternated the role of the Creature. I was there, Gandalf, and I assure you the girlies were hornt for him.
What even is 'the right amount of horny' for a fictional character anyway?
[guy whoβs only seen Zardoz watching a second Sean Connery movie]: βuh, gotta be honest, not really getting any Zardoz vibes from this at allβ
Is the BBC perfect? No.
Is it a good thing when the leader of a foreign power can seriously threaten and interfere in the running of what is still the national public service broadcaster of an ally? Also no.
