Yeah, a problem with these arguments is that it takes time to go through with them start to end and the popcorn-munching audience (such as myself) have to watch them episode by episode. This results in having incomplete information on the actual situation.

A more reasonable way would be to wait until the season ends and then read the summary. But needlessly meddling into things is way spicier and hard to resist.

I should probably hold back more...

100% - trust me, I also jumped to the same conclusion based on initial reactions until I was like "Wait, did a mod or admin say something more specific somewhere else?". Not everyone has interest or bandwidth to do so [helped that I was hungover yesterday, so I rotted on Lemmy all day].

...come to think of it, there's lessons that are applicable to the IRL news cycle too, lol.
