BM/WW IR sightings on TV

What makes it worse then a lot of cases is Maximus aint exactly a paragon of moral virtue.
Its annoying and I hate it no matter what but it makes even less sense for a total non boy scout.
I'm only 5 episodes in, but he's definitely not perfect so far. There must be some wwbm stuff in the last 3 episodes, because there's none so far
even though she was really impressed with him when they first crossed paths in episode 2
I just watched the Vault scene in question, and I'm not as disappointed as I thought I would be
Maximus is clearly a virgin who never received any real sex education. Based on his comments, I'm legit not even sure he knows exactly how have sex. She just casually propositioned him out of nowhere, and dude simply was not prepared lol
Don't get me wrong, I still wish she had just insisted on teaching him and he eagerly let her. But under the circumstances, I see the point I think they were making about how much the world has changed and how different the vaults are from the surface (and the Brotherhood especially).
Also I think it speaks to his slowly becoming a better person, at least partially. He's sticking with the knights' code when he absolutely doesn't have to -- even though it's probably partially motivated by being embarrassed from not knowing exactly what do to in the situation.

Yup I've run into some if this anti-IR pushback in the past day. Some dudes on Reddit are claiming full "Woke Agenda!" But people are asking them why IR couples are so offensive, and I have yet to see an answer besides "they shouldn't be shoving it down our throats."
I've also seen a few YouTube reviewers complaining that it's basically the only thing they don't like about the series (either the Max-Lucy relationship or just Maximus himself). I try to be objective about all this, but their reasons don't make a lot of sense to me. The hate is truly real.

It's all about insecurity and jealousy. They are threatened by Black males and they know "their" women like us.Yup I've run into some if this anti-IR pushback in the past day.

That's the craziest thing about it. Statistically, there are still far more same race couples than IR couples, on TV and IRL. They're seriously this salty over an uptick of representation on-screen.
This is why I keep going with the "representation matters" stuff that I know annoys some dudes here. People need to see these things in their media so it becomes common. Then maybe the next generation will have less of this nonsense. White people won't be replaced. Society won't crumble. We'll just have a little more racial harmony and people living their lives. I almost wish there was an "agenda" behind this lol
Sorry about the rant ROFL

The whole agenda allegations and "shoving it down our throats" term is just misusing those terms to disguise their true negative feelings about something positive. I said it before but Interracial Love doesn't have a huge backing, a prominent respected organization or a mainstream supported movement ESPECIALLY in Hollywood for it to be shoved down our throats. Actresses are the women in the industry that are LEAST likely to date outside their race especially dating or marrying a Black Man.
There are SO many IR Love stories out there between BM/WW that Hollywood still doesn't touch. And if they do it will hardly be recognized. A lot of these IR between Black Men and White Women on TV are done so poorly(and on purpose like that) that silly accusations like this are laughable by people that pay attention.
And as far as agendas go. Agendas are political and have evil intentions behind it. Just what exactly is the evil intention that has EVER came out of the promotion of IR Love that has hurt them.

Which YouTubers were these?Yup I've run into some if this anti-IR pushback in the past day. Some dudes on Reddit are claiming full "Woke Agenda!" But people are asking them why IR couples are so offensive, and I have yet to see an answer besides "they shouldn't be shoving it down our throats."

Also on Twitter & YouTube, Reddit often gets painted as woke left-wing version of 4chan (the @reddit_lies Twitter account is a primary example of this). So that backlash on Reddit is intresting.

LOL, I've never heard of that guy. I follow a bunch of anti-woke cultural content youtubers & I've never seen/heard any of them complain about IRRs, so I was wondering what YouTube rabbit hole @qaz1 went down to find the white anti-IRRs YouTubers. The anti-IR content I usually see on my YouTube feed/recommendations are from the black sector of YouTube.

I just found out that "The Lazarus Project" was cancelled last month:

Season 2 still hasn't aired in the U.S. yet. I hope TNT still airs the 2nd season this Summer.

I just finished it Sunday night by limiting myself to just two episodes in a viewing. I liked the finale better than "The Last of Us" a s it really upgraded the season for me which I felt was a little up and down at times. I wouldn't recommend anyone to binge watch it because the first two episodes are SUPER DUPER long. Get your money's worth by rationing the episodes and the series can a last a whole month.

I get your overall point but in this case I give them a pass because there are special considerations for two central characters on a series since you know that they like to build romantic uncertainty over time as a general rule. Having to wait until the second season should be reasonably acceptable for all of us as again . . . this is how things are usually done for major characters on a series who have no history whatsoever together.

The daughter Kate from Army Of The Dead 2021
Cool
She had an even more prominent role on the Showtime hit series "Yellow jackets". That's where I first recognized her from anyways. Her character is captain of the NJ State High School girl's soccer champions in Red Bank, NJ that suffers a tragedy enroute to the National Tournament in WA.

I just saw the eighth episode of "The Girls on the Bus" and Supergirl revealed that she got filled up THREE times in a one-night stand with her former fling. Now she traveling through various primary states and trying to access her Woman's Healthcare family planning pills but it's a cheque tapestry of restrictions on methipristone in various GOP governed jurisdictions. She just told the brotha at the end of the previous episode that she was pregnant with his fetus. Damn Supergirl thought she was really bulletproof huh

LOL how about some spoiler tags my dude?!?I just saw the eighth episode of "The Girls on the Bus" and Supergirl revealed that she got filled up THREE times in a one-night stand with her former fling.

I watched that myself. Gotta say, this relationship is going better than I thought it would after the first episode.
I usually push back on the "take your time" strategy, but I agree with you on this one. This has the chance to be an epic wwbm romance arc on a really good show. We don't get that much.
My biggest concern is that the folks in charge will give in to the haters complaining about the IR. We remember how abruptly Supergirl changed in the first episode of season 2 after a season long build up the first season. And that was just due to a change in one show runner if I understand correctly.
