I hesitate to answer the OP because I don't want to violate any safe space he has set up for himself, but IF I were to answer, which I am not, I would say.



Oh my, so salty, sorry you're so upset. Maybe you should create a safe space away from my threads.




I'll try not to offend your sensitive thinking next time and keep the questions more vanilla for you.

Perfect answer that I was looking for with regards to the SJW garbage. Thanks.


Not exactly sure how it is a perfect answer considering it didn't even tell you what the "SJW overtones" were

The show does not have any overt political message, but the type of person that asks about "SJW overtones" is generally the type of person that goes into a show looking for those things.

And that would be you.

The fact that you are trying to twist the "safe space" nonsense back onto the people making fun of you is comical.

It does keep you intrigued, but my whole issue with it is it doesn't really feel like black mirror. It just seems like a standalone episode of a serial drama you'd see on TV somewhere. It's not a bad little episode, but it's not BM. It doesn't even come remotely close to giving the viewer an accurate portrayal of what the series is all about. That's why I always tell people just start with ep 2 then do whatever you want, if you watch S1E1 right after that then so be it, but people should get started off with at least an episode that gives them a clue on what the show is all about.


But it gives a very “in the monument” tech thing (not unlike shut up and drive) that is very possible. The entire episode you are wondering how he is getting out of it and then of course, it happens.

It absolutely sets the stage that no one is safe in this show.

I'd say Hated in the Nation has some fairly serious "SJW undertones."


Really? I don't remember anything overtly SJW... and that has been my favorite episode to date.

To me it is comparable to twilight zone.

That White Christmas episode was a total mind frick.

Thats what has me intrigued. I had heard it was like the twilight zone, but I wanted to know for sure if anyone felt the same.

Its comical people like yourself assume such a question means I'm bothered by interracial couples, any minorities, or homosexuals which are not at all SJW themes by themselves. It also just shows the shallow thinking with regard to the question or a lack of understanding of the question. I know there are people on this website that understand what I mean and I was waiting for a bit more reasonable answer instead of the ole, "OH YOU JUST DONT LIKE BLACK PEOPLE AND HOMOSEXUALS YOU REDNECK GO TO YOUR SAFE SPACE YOU RACIST SEXIST MISOGYNIST.. ETC ETC". There's no conversation to be had when that's the initial response.

Seeing as you think the "SJW overtones" are just the presence of minorities or LBGTQ people, then I don't think you'd know what a good answer is for me given the question. You definitely operate with your own version of whats objectively the right answer in this case, and I suppose when you ask the question you can decide what the right answer is for yourself, as I will decide for myself when I ask the question.

Meathead was an entertaining episode.

Most of season 4 was quality.

You still haven't provided an example of "SJW overtones"

People have tried to answer you. You repeatedly told them that isn't what you meant.

You have been repeatedly asked for clarification, and you refuse to give 1 example of what you mean.

Current running list of non SJW overtones:
- gay couples
- interracial couples
- strong female leads
- environmental issues

The episode "Black Museum" mentions social justice directly, but it's not like a negative thing or something that should anger you
