And Just Like That | Rose to Rock | HBO Max | S01E05 | [HD]

[@Serenity5]

I left that bubble I was living in years and years ago. This new SATC writing looks more like life as I know it I've been able to relate to so much. My daughter started showing signs around that age, and guess who told me she was gay: my mother😄So when she told me she was in fact bi 4 years later: I shrugged my shoulders, and said "Duh." She was even more stunned when I told her your grandmother told me years ago.

I'm glad they have that kind of relationship with you. When I was growing up, I always told personal issues I had with other people, afraid of my parents' disapproval and rejection; it would make them angry, etc... Many kids still feel that way.

I think kids are allowed to change their first names at 12 which is fine if they don't like their given name, but NO WAY the school should hide this from the parents. And nor should the children be encouraged to.

This is the best example I can find of a show just wanting to get woke points and not caring about a believable story. It's more logical and diverse to give Charlotte the struggle of Rose, or Lily becoming devoutly Jewish, and expecting their parents to do the same and how hard it is to actually follow everything. Diversity is supposed to make something relatable to a larger audience and also widen people's views of the world. A storyline about religion would be interesting, educating and work. The way the woke plots of ajlt are executed are so fake. Everyone is choosing the same specific groups to portray. If anything, things are becoming less diverse.

[@madelynweathers3269]

I agree. I think it’s also very condescending to treat the audience like this. It shows insecurity in the writers because they’re just trying to score points instead of making something good.

[@madheremadthere4616]

Hear hear!!

[@sarahgracetruth]

Right, but advancing any religion besides the new one they are going to create is not part of the NWO agenda, so why would they ever do a story about that?

[@lisafoodie8443]

yep theyre shoving wokeism in everyones throats... and basically labels as uncultured anyone who thinks otherwise... elitism at its worst... 🙄

[@mg.5968]

Did you watch the original SATC? There were numerous elements of their lives that were completley unbelievable. There were elements portrayed about life in NYC that were pure fiction. Yet, nobody seemed to have a problem with "unrelatability" and "aspirational" fantasy then. So, you're not going to convince me that this is actually about "relatability". Especially when part of the appeal of SATC in the first place was that it was aspirational fantasy which by definition is unrelatable. Second of all, your suggestion around "jewish identity" as a diversity storyline with Rose is ABSURD and completley unrealistic. Most children when they are young tend to be MORE liberal and open minded than their parents. Some grow out of it, some don't. That's just how youth tends to works. Rarely is a child (especially when they're young) MORE conservative or religiously devout than their parents. Especially, if their parents aren't conservative or devout either! Furthermore, religious fundamentalism is loosing it's hold in American society. The idea that Rose, a Gen-Zer living in NYC in 2021 would be a devout Jew at her age and in this cultural context is a preposterous idea and thus completely unbelievable. It is far more likely that living in NYC in 2021 she would be exploring her gender identity. Frankly, at this cultural juncture that’s far more plausible than her being a devout Jew. It's also very believable that Charlotte would be thrown off kilter by this development. Yes, most teens aren’t confused about their gender, but for those who are Charlotte and Harry are reacting in ways most parents would……with confusion and bafflement. This storyline is totally believable down to Rose posting her announcement on Tik Tok before having an actual conversation with her parents first. Parents playing catch up to the ever evolving nuances of youth culture and experience is not “unrelatable” to any parent. Even if the viewer can’t relate to the specifics of gender identity confusion the overarching experience of grappling with your adolescent child’s increased independence and movement away from your values, beliefs and norms is universal!! Why don't we talk about why folks are actually mad. You're triggered that this topic of gender identity is even being brought up in the first place. If you were being intellectually honest, you’d admit that you view the topic in and of itself as ‘woke’ and there is really no way SATC could have brought it up without you feeling like it was “cringe” or “heavy handed”. Which means that what you want is actually the opposite of what you’re critiquing AJLT for. What you want is AJLT to continue SATC’s long running streak of unbelievable fantasy and not address or talk about any current real world sociocultural issues. What you’re implicitly asking for is an unbelievable world where these issues don’t exist…..which inherently is unrelatable. The irony is rich. Instead of owning your own baggage regarding the issue of gender identity you’re deflecting and making it about AJLT being “too heavy handed”. I just watched the scene and it was surprisingly balanced. This tells me that instead of grappling with the material actually presented in the scene you're projecting your own fragility onto it. You're so triggered by the possibility that you're being lectured, or preached to, looked down on, or judged, or propagandized that you can't actually appreciate the nuances of this scene. If you actually saw the scene for what it was, you’d realize that there are actually subtle critiques of the gender identity movement and the humorous absurdities of trying to accommodate ever evolving expectations. For example, even them picking the name “Rock” I believe was a subtle commentary on these absurdities. The fact that she told everyone on social media and not her family directly was a commentary on the generational divide in etiquette, but also the unrealistic expectation that her parents just “get with it” and “know” that this is the new world order and no big deal. The constant disbelief that they were now supposed to be calling their child a completely different name with seemingly no warning, no adjustment period, and no compromise. What I took away from this scene was that these issues are hard on everyone and that nobody is wrong or bad for struggling with them and that the gender identity movement is not morally above satirization.

I tried to watch this clip. Yet was distracted. There is natural aging, and then there’s someone who shouldn’t have listened to the so called friend that said it was okay to have unnecessary work done on their face. The slurring. Not sure that was the desired outcome. Women, take heed. Love thyself as naturally as possible.🌹
