“And I believe you.” So many Movies would be over instantly if more characters did this.

[@trickytreyperfected1482]

That begs the question: why is so much movie conflict just based on misunderstandings/non-belief? Actually, come to think of it, those kind of conflicts always frustrated me.

[@PunkZombie1300]

@@trickytreyperfected1482 Poor/lazy writing. If your whole story can be wrapped up in five minutes by people acting like real people and actually communicating/thinking through things/behaving rationally then you need to go back to the drawing board.

[@meeber2]

It bums me out that the idea of women being nice to each other is so unusual that it can be used as a punchline.

[@sammangiaracina9360]

I know it's not a good show concept, but I would totally watch 30 straight minutes of people being nice to each other.

The supportive women concept is so great, Sarah and Cesile what a wonderful skit.

[@eccentricweirdootaku]

It always annoys me in media how girls always assume the worst in each other! It doesn't send a good message to any of us, regardless of gender. Thanks for calling attention to this, SNL! ❤

[@naruchiha21]

While I agree that shows do rely on negativity too often between both genders, it's also used for a reason tbh and I believe that's basically the message here. It's true that drama always gets views over people being good to each other which is also why the news is almost always just filled with the bad stuff rather than showing good people doing good things more often. Let's be real, horrible people make for conflict which = more interesting stories. Pretty much why men are always portrayed as cheating, abusive, drunk rapists/murders and women are portrayed as lying manipulators that stab people in the back. It honestly does get old but sadly I doubt they're tropes that will be going anywhere soon.

[@juankimfully]

Garrus -Vakarian its different. Out of all the criminals, men have ridiculously high rate. So if someone had to be a murderer in dramas, its statistically right to portray it as a male. However lying manipulators obviously dont have statistical proof; its rather based on a false demeaning stereotype. Such a different story, my friend.

[@juankimfully]

Adam Archer thank God, huh?

[@jak_the_buddha]

It always annoys me when people hold entertainers, famous people, and media responsible for sending us "a good message". It's your responsibility and mine and everyone else's responsibility to not be an arsehole. We are accountable for our own actions. Not famous people

[@authorminator1579]

dd great argument there. 👍
