Look, I am not arguing with how awesome it is to have a canon gay biracial love story in a hugely popular podcast. And I’m not arguing that as a gay man who is clearly swayed by masculine beauty it’s out of character for Cecil to be all about the D.
But sweet fucking Christ, when Cecil starts shilling for a six-headed, guilty-of-insurance-fraud, fire-breathing dragon to take over from mayor Pamela Winchell, I want to drive to Cecil’s studio, grab his microphone and beat him with it.
Like, given that Nightvale is Nightvale, I cannot even begin to judge whether or not the mayor is doing a good job or not, but I’m going to assume yes, and Cecil is blinded by the fact the six-headed prospective mayoral usurper has a cock.

The Newsroom managed to get un-blacklisted on my tumblr dash, and ugh, does the concept of that show annoy me. Linda Holmes of Pop Culture Happy Hour nailed when she said that the show was fanfic for the recent past. It’s totally true. The show is desperately trying to be relevant and cuttingly progressive only, whoops, they’re only talking about events of which public opinions have already swayed to their side.
If they wanted to write a show about brave progressives making a bold stand against conservative opposition (while making sure that all the viewers are firmly on the protagonists’ side), they should have made a show about the White Rose. Because nothing says ‘total progressive badasses’ like a group of German college kids protesting against Hilter during his ascent to power.

Welcome To Nightvale.
A podcast in the form a community radio show.
I've listened to the first episode and if you like post-apocalyptic settings and questionable realities (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
qualapec, I'm looking at you) you might want to check this out.
