    Minor spoiler but there’s no foreshadowing for it so idk if it counts:

    So iirc one of the actors came out as trans during the filming of the later seasons, and rather than force him to keep playing a woman they worked it into the show. I was personally a little startled cuz it happened with no foreshadowing and wasn’t strictly necessary for any of the plots, so at first I thought it was one of those rainbow capitalism token LGBTQ+ characters by writers that don’t know or care to find out what the character’s demographic is really like or goes thru. Felt a little bit patronizing and gross at first, so I can see why people might have been miffed.

    Knowing the context with the actor tho, the fact that the trans plot line is a little rushed and sloppy is very forgivable imo, and I think they did the right thing even if the show’s perceived quality might have suffered a little for it.

    I haven’t really read a lot of reviews of it to know for sure if that’s the part people complained about, but if it is then imo you shouldn’t let the complaints scare you off the show.

    It’s a really shitty decision but I’d probably go for the shattered plains pre-Alethi, I absolutely love the vibes of the chasms and exploring with esshondai sounds fun. Just gotta remember to gtfo before dalinar shows up for the second time and hope I don’t get murked by a salty ancestor looking for a meat suit

    Thanks! This is how the comment looks on my end (voyager app):

    Is this the wrong comment or is voyager tripping?

    Edit: I was expecting to be horrified, but holy fuck reading the article you were referencing still shocked me. The fact that prison exists at all is genuinely sickening, let alone that people were kidnapped and sent there across country lines without trials or evidence. Thanks again for providing the link a second time, but I think I’ve had enough internet for today now lmao
