Obviously, now that our thinking has evolved, shows from ten years ago, or even five years ago, are not going to fit into the current mold of what is socially acceptable.
at its heart, was supposed to be about the kids who were “othered” in high school: gay, differently abled, minorities. But at the same time, those characters often got the short end of the stick. By having some of the worst comments come from the show’s antagonist, cheerleading coach, Sue Sylvester, they were often written off as jokes. But they’re homophobic, transphobic, and hella racist.
As someone who is not white or Christian, I was definitely out of the target demographic of the show, which is likely why I never got into it. The moral dilemmas the kids faced were always wrapped up neatly with some sort of story or an offering from the parents to take in the wayward youth. Problems were always wrapped up too neatly, and. For instance, their way of dealing with Mary totally going “wild,” was to ship her off to Buffalo.
As much as I loved SATC in my late teens/early 20s, as I get older, I just can’t ignore all of the glaring issues it presents. Most of my issues are with Carrie Bradshaw, who as a main character is pretty terrible.
