Ugh. I just… He is such a fucking babe. Even when eating horrible gristly stew.

This is the best thing I have seen all week… Nay, all year.
Things my step-dad just said re: the British empire
-Sick of people apologising for it/feeling guilty
-It wasn’t right, but it happened and there’s nothing we can do now/no point going on about it
Why don’t you go choke on a bag of dicks you privileged little shit.

Which blog is it?
The awkward moment when…
…you have to unfollow your favourite lovely animal pictures blog, as it turns out to be run by some douchebag who has another blog titled “astrongindependentblackwoman” featuring only pictures of skinny white women. The title is, apparently, a joke, and nothing to be taken seriously.
Sigh.
Nnnnno, the roots of Being Human are just that: people BEING HUMAN. By not having any characters that aren’t straight/white/cis/etc, that is pretty much saying that only straight/white/cis/etc people are cool supernaturals who are worthy of a story.
They want to represent humanity in a show about supernaturals? Then they should represent the diversity of humanity, too.

This has to be the most accurate GPOY of all GPOYs anywhere ever.
And once again the soapboxers hop up again. Usually crops up in fandoms at some point.
While I agree it would be great if Milo returned, I don’t think it needs to be due to a need for racial equality in the show, it should be because he is a great character. Maybe, just maybe, the new cast just happen to be white, because the actors that were chosen as right for the roles just happened to be white. Perhaps they just happen to bestraight, who knows Alex may be Bi, we don’t her that well yet, but so what if she is/so what if she isn’t? The show is a fantasy drama, not a commentary on modern society.
I always feel that people who need to point out an aspect of a person’s being putting them in a figurative “minority”, be it, skin colour/sexual orientation/belief etc. in an attempt to insinuate that they are being misrepresented due to some underlying form of prejudice, are merely perpetuating a stereotype. True equality (in my opinion), lies in not even noticing a difference in another person.
It seems to me, that the only people who see a problem here, are the people who raise it as an issue, as if, because someone doesn’t point out the fact someone is black/white/gay/straight, that it’s due to racism or prejudice; maybe it’s due to acceptance and seeing someone as a person in their own right not a skin colour or sexual orientation.
(Wow, sometimes I make my brain hurt.)
