Is it total and complete BS that Jeff Davis gets praised as some savior of television for his "world without racism or homophobia" when what he's actually gotten rid of is almost every trace of the cultural diversity that really drives such prejudices? Why, yes, yes it is. Well I am by no means one to praise Jeff (just as Paul.rea!). Nor do I think that Teen Wolf is presented as a bigotry-free utopia for any particular social reason. As I said before, it is simply because there isn't enough screen time to spend on those kinds off issues so they simply discard them.
 * facepalm*

In the show, it isn't really presnted as a bigotry-free utopia because they don't put any screen time into it (and they totally have time -- TV series used to do multitude season long story arcs plus episodic stories, all in the same amount of screen time Teen Wolf has. Watch the show and seriously think about how much time they waste.)

However, in our real life, the show is presented to us as a bigotry-free utopia. What you don't seem to have grasped yet is, this is what my problem is. Jeff is praised, consistently, for his progressive portrayal of a "world without racism or homophobia".

And, no, the show's not about that. Then it shouldn't be getting praised for it. And if Jeff wants to have that be a part of the world he's constructed for the show, then he would need to put some screen time into it. That's my point. Are we on the same page now? My complaint isn't about what is on the show, what's on the show is fine -- IF we're not going to call it a world without bigotry.
