The Daily Show with…….. John Oliver? Huh?
I was sort of hoping for Jessica Williams to take over as temp host instead.
Might just be a seniority thing? He’s been there longer, right?
Oh yeah, definitely. And he’s hosted some of his own programs and stuff. I understand the decision but I love me some JW :)

If you can’t find a way to cast and write meaningful PoC and queer characters into your television show, book, movie, play, whatever than you are just a shitty writer. It has nothing to do with historical accuracy. It has to do with the choices you make as a writer/creator/casting director. You shouldn’t be writing for mainstream media. And if you are worried about historical accuracy than get creative, use your brain and find a way to represent the population in your work. And if you can’t find a way, maybe the storyline you picked is a whitewashed, hetero run-of-the-mill storyline that’s been done a million times. Or MAYBE hire more PoC/queer writers.
And if not for the sake of inclusive representation, do it because your shit is boring. I am so sick of the excuses people make.
This bothers me:
It doesn’t say there will be a LGBT storyline, it just says they are “open” to it. That sounds to me like a prepared response. Being “open” to something and actively pursuing it are not the same thing. When you have approximately 10 million characters and you can’t even guarantee ONE LGBTQ storyline…that’s a little…archaic.
Unless they are trying to hide some HUGE progressive queer storyline like Swan Queen, then I stand by this rant.
