Board Thread:Rewatching "Merlin" - Season One/@comment-2605:E000:6A54:5500:AD3B:FEE1:E3A8:2474-20181203162509

To the producers and writers of Merlin:

I was recently watching Merlin with my small daughters. One of them turned to me and asked me what a "coward" was. I explained. She then added with conviction, "and only girls are cowards, not boys." I asked her why she thought that. She pointed out that in the show they always called boys "girls" when they acted weak or without courage.

I then realized that every time someone in Merlin is not brave, or doesn't fight well, or does anything weak or foolish, they are being "a girl" or "a woman". The put-downs are relentless.

Needless to say, my daughters won't be watching Merlin anymore until they are old enough to understand the word "misogynist."

Family friendly? Shame on you.
