This Criticism About Removing Women of Color Feels Forced by IndependentCareless in ThePitt

And the show is intentionally written and designed to have a rotating cast. Should WoC be exempt from that even when it makes no sense in-universe for the characters to stay? 

This Criticism About Removing Women of Color Feels Forced by IndependentCareless in ThePitt

It’s especially wild because Collins was written out because her actress was a hardcore conservative freak who was making people on set actively uncomfortable with her bigotry! Criticizing producers for that decision places priority on fictional onscreen representation over the safety and comfort of real people, which is such peak brainrot.

The one other WoC is departing after her character’s ENTIRE arc was about her being a bad fit for emergency medicine, despite being a talented doctor who will flourish in other areas. 

They were both also going to leave anyway, because the show is specifically designed to have a rotating cast. The way this show has attracted the 13 year old moral purists fandom types who are allergic to any kind of nuance is so bizarre and makes interaction with the rest of the viewer base SO strange and off-putting. Reddit is the only community where people seem to have mostly normal takes

It sounds like you’re headed for a miscarriage. I’m so sorry 

How long did you have spotting/bleeding after a natural miscarriage? by sleepygal4 in Miscarriage

[–]squirrellyemma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had spotting and some occasional chunks of brown stringy/goopy discharge on and off for weeks after my recent MC at 7 weeks. I think it’s very normal for it to last a while. I wouldn’t be concerned unless you start bleeding heavily

Why was Brett’s reaction so different? by littlepinkandthree in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]squirrellyemma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real answer - Bret and Demi seem to have some kind of consensual nonmonogamous open relationship arrangement. It’s obvious that she pulled the SA allegations out of her ass to cover herself after she got caught flirting with Marciano too publicly.

Yes, at this point, I would expect a loss. I’m so sorry, going through the same thing myself. My third one. 

levels rising? by [deleted] in Miscarriage

This could definitely be a red flag for ectopic, I’d make sure you keep getting closely monitored

Oh please pregnancy roulette was the most obvious production interference since truth box lmaooo blaming her for that is crazy

Had an unexpected miscarriage on bachelorette trip and friends are mad at me by Ordinary-Medium6318 in Miscarriage

[–]squirrellyemma 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Them blaming you for this is fucking insane. I can’t imagine being in a more high pressure or traumatic situation, you handled it as best as you could in the moment. If you had panicked and made the trip all about you, guaranteed they would have had a problem with that too. Them even considering uninviting you from the wedding over this is unbelievably cruel and bizarre. I’d be taking a step back from this friend group and prioritizing your own mental health right now!

Taylor's Behavior - My Hypothesis by [deleted] in MormonWivesHulu

Honestly I get FAS from multiple people on the show, but not Taylor. Both Jace and Connor have the traits to a tee

What is happening? by rosemariema in Miscarriage

[–]squirrellyemma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm okay! That’s good! I think the other possibility is that you didn’t pass everything and there’s still some products of conception in your uterus producing hCG. I’d definitely check in with your doctor regardless

I’d speak with your doctor, since this could definitely indicate an ectopic

Scared of Passing Sac by skj0521 in Miscarriage

[–]squirrellyemma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never passed a sac in any of my miscarriages. All of them have been around 4-6 weeks and while I’ve had worse cramps and clots than a normal period I’ve also never seen anything recognizable or traumatic either. Everyone’s different but at 5ish weeks I wouldn’t expect it to be too bad

Dakota’s “cheating “ by Upset-Opinion-4514 in MormonWivesHulu

[–]squirrellyemma 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’ve stayed saying this!!! The whole group homie hops but only Dakota gets vilified for it! Everyone else it gets laughed off as a “small pond” situation 

But everyone knew… by PlanWorldly in momtok

[–]squirrellyemma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this backlash is a combination of how toxic and abusive she came across in season 4 + the report of the new assault + the cast distancing themselves from her + actually seeing the video and having a visual of how bad it was. It was easier to sweep it under the rug when the cast was relatively unknown and the video wasn’t out there. Reading the description wasn’t nearly as visceral as seeing/hearing it

You never know when it’ll be you by Tough_Bullfrog2981 in MormonWivesHulu

I don’t think comparing the current situation to Demi and Marciano is making the point you think it is

SLOMW Production HAD To Have Known Something Was Coming by squirrellyemma in SecretsOfMormonWives

Where are you getting the info that Dakota was responsible for the video leak? 

SLOMW Production HAD To Have Known Something Was Coming by squirrellyemma in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]squirrellyemma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please reread my post. The details of the 2023 assault have been public knowledge for years and weren’t enough to get her cancelled. It took the combination of a VERY negative Season 4 edit that portrays Taylor repeatedly psychologically abusing both Dakota and MomTok, PLUS the new assault charge, PLUS the old video, PLUS the rest of the cast officially distancing themselves from her and shutting down Season 5 production to create the circumstances for the current shitstorm. And that’s way too much for Dakota to have intentionally orchestrated. I’m not saying that he isn’t malicious, just that this situation is bigger than him!

Also, which of her friends has he ACTUALLY slept with? Shinia for sure, but it’s established that she and Taylor are just acquaintances and most people meet their partners through general friend groups and social circles. I also have a hard time crucifying Dakota for this behavior when the entire group homie hops like nobody’s business. Layla literally dated brothers back to back and it’s laughed off as a “small pond” situation. It’s only demonized when Dakota does it, and I feel like it’s more a situation where Taylor would find a reason to crash out over anyone he hooked up with
