Issa Rae’s Emmy Winning Series: Insecure Official Thread

[Tasha And]

its okay to show all these black actresses making softcore porn, but the racially ambiguous Latina is put on the pedestal and is untouchable.

and no, those two white broads that we're prolly never gonna see on any show or channel ever again, do not count.

I wonder what's more likely. Issa "I want all of the black shows to win" Rae didn't write an explicit sex scene for Aparna because she puts racially ambiguous characters on a pedestal, even above herself (and to keep this afloat, we won't count any scenes that go against this narrative, like Hayley Kiyoko's explicit full nude sex scene).....or that an explicit sex scene between Lawrence/Aparna in an already overlong finale served no narrative purpose.

I only thing I dislike about this show was naming or calling issa stepping out a ho phase.
Like nikkaz is so emo their labeling of ho phase is just offbrand and not really anything remotely to being a ho.

Females in general may say it like a joke or play on nwa bring misunderstood.
Yet there was no ho'n going on at all.
That whole ho phase term is some weak ass simp shyt.
some weak ass nikka says who don't have no g and not locking down the girl he wants a committal from.
I understand the comedy of why it is used but it took on another life globally as a term and reference and was counter productive.
Only thing I can say good about it being called a ho phase was because the age bracket of the character.
Yet, outside that. As far as women making a stance to be able to mate without committment. I feel it created negative energy.
the longer it kept being referred to as that. Issa is a cheater and a twit.
She was never a ho,...none of the girls on the show were hoes.

So, I just never liked that part for a show.
That I thought was trying to create some type of understanding of women who are not committed.

I felt that limited the characters and this story arc.
As issa having fun and trying to find a suitable mate should have been that.
Not connected to her labeled as a ho phase.


If you not committed you are able to mate with whom you like.
Making and terming her a ho when she was not selling anything and not even gold digg'n created a funk about this season that I wish was not there.
I felt that opportunity was wasted and should have been created to give women more wiggle room in the dialogue this show creates and as a cushion content wise on tv.

Instead it worked negatively and was termed negatively.
When there was an opportunity for much more and more understanding as well.

Outside that and the weirdness of how the season finale was.
I really liked this season and felt it did stay true to what happens to the college couple.
that does not make it because of infidelity on the part of the woman in the relationship.
downplaying her esso because of material, professional and silly emotional issues.

This show is called insecure.
Yet issa having fun looking for a mate.
Should have been a step to fortify her issues and develop her into being secure.

that's just silly talk she was giving. that red carpet interview aint bout nothing.

I don't even know who Hayley kiyoko is.

what explicit sex scene was aparna in?

 

[Tasha And]

I don't even know who Hayley kiyoko is.

The racially ambiguous girl you decided didn't count.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

The racially ambiguous girl you decided didn't count.

Aparna is the racially ambiguous girl.

I said those two white sluts don't count.

 

[Tasha And]

Aparna is the racially ambiguous girl.

I said those two white sluts don't count.

.....breh no fukking shyt. I'm saying you arbitrarily decided not to count a different racially ambiguous girl's explicit sex scene to compete your argument

 

[the bossman]

So is this the new angle that brehs are reaching for now to create fake outrage? After swearing up and down for 2 seasons that they just gonna push the black women getting their swirl on with some Bradleys agenda and that didn't happen. Now it's the "why are Indian girls put on a pedestal" agenda. All because somebody's titties didn't get shown as much as the others. Some of you brehs be diggin deep to find issues

She's done about as much as Jasmine Kaur (Aparna). A few movies and tv shows.

looks like a nobody to me.

and unlike aparna, she isn't a regular on the show.

Aparna is a nobody.

And now you're moving the goal post. First it was "look at how they don't show racially ambiguous women in soft core porn" and now it's "well she doesn't count because she is a nobody and only in one episode."

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Aparna is a nobody.

I'm not moving the goal post. I said all that FROM THE BEGINNING.

No you moved the goal post.

am I the only one that noticed how the only jawn that didn't get smutted out on camera was the Latina?

and that's not by accident.

All you said was the only actress not shown fukking was "the Latina". Never mind the fact that Aparna isn't Latina (south Asian), you were wrong in your assement . The racially ambiguous chick in the threesome was shown "smutted out".

 

[intruder]

Probably the best black show out there, period.
One of things i didnt necessarily care for about the show was the fact that they made sure to touch on most of the typical black american relationship stereotypes

1. Successful black woman spurns good dudes to chase after what she feels SHOULD be her match in the societal hierarchy and ends up failing
2. Black man unemployed being supported by his woman
3. Once said black man finally catches a break he moves onto non-black women

I know #1 is the norm in most other societies but still
