This is what I have been saying. Perfection. I tell ya.

Yeah when she was witnessing it she was basically like "o.... k... this is awkward and OH MY GOD." But then afterward Nathan gave his explanations and she just kinda handwaved it. Which is just like? What? Show? Even if she didn't see it as a consent problem, she definitely should have been more... upset, betrayed, creeped out? or at the very least LEFT OUT. Like, hey we finally hooked up and I wasn't even there to see it. IDK -- but it got glossed over. Scifi TV is SO BAD when it comes to this stuff. It makes me nutso.

Also, treatment of characters of color. (Haven, I'm looking at you specifically.)

Oh. AND treatment of women-not-named-Audrey. (Yeah this is specifically a Haven issue.)

Problematic show, why do I love you so much?



Oh.

Right.

ETA: Dropped a tag and it swallowed my whole comment.

ETA 2: I made all those GIFs in 500px width but then thought better of posting them that huge. However, if you're interested I could arrange to send those your way.

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I don't have your e-mail.
