Big Bang Theory is a terrible show.

It's not because of "nerd blackface." Fuck you :reddit-logo: for making that the presumed reason for anyone to dislike that show.

It's a misogynistic, cryptoracist, ignorantly ableist (setting back public understanding of autism by years) and lowkey homophobic unfunny mess that is written like the script was printed on plastic sheets made from melted down Funko Pops. Also, the :my-hero: worship is insufferable.

    The realization of any particular trait is at all times & moments a dialectic relationship between the inherited genetic structure of a given organism, and the environment into which it has been placed. Generally, any real discussion of the relationship these things share & how to best account for them is both impossible to have because of, and is also inextricably tied to, specific goals of political economy & of the matter of class rule.

    (Incidentally it occurs to me that I should be specific; I mean that it's often impossible to have a serious discussion about questions regarding gene-environment interactions & to discuss, more than simple inheritance, how specific traits actually come to be realized. And I think it's impossible to really get down to the bottom of that question, because the capitalist class & their courtiers in the popular discourse of science are at all times more concerned with justifying their social positions more than answering questions about the actual functioning of biological mechanisms.)
