I Promise I Have No Illusions That Cm Is Secretly Leftist Actually Lmao - Tumblr Posts

i really like this episode, in large part because of this line and how that feeling continues throughout the episode. i appreciate cm's attitude towards it in general, as the concept of the "less dead" is something that i feel very strongly about. that's not to say cm never plays into it, or into Missing White Woman Syndrome. Even in this episode, the victim we're focusing on, Maggie, is an attractive White woman with nice hair and teeth (possibly a little justified as she's a sex worker and i believe not unhoused? but it's still worth commenting on that the victim we follow in the episode about victims who are considered disposable has traits that make her more "palatable" to the audience).

I hope I'm making sense lol. There are definitely people better than me to talk about these concepts and associated tropes and how cm both plays into and averts them, but it's on my mind a lot and I really like episodes like this one where an effort is clearly being made to not only avoid but to comment and criticize them.
