#because instead of doing something bold and undeniable and telling transphobes to go fuck themselves

The Blacklist is the funniest possible show the insane conspiracy theory-ridden alt-right could’ve latched onto but it’s also not very funny is it. Yet still fascinating how a particular group can obsess over something without understanding it at all

Omfg, OP's tags....THIS!! FUCKING THHHHISSSSS!!!

I'm still so mad about it. I'm still so disappointed. We didn't get the hero we needed, or the hero we deserved. We got winks and nudges. When it was so, so needed.

I still think the writers and the guys who initially produced the show wanted to take it out of the closet. I believe it was the network that put a lock on that closet.

And I still think James Spader might just saunter naked out of that closet the next time he's asked about it in an interview. If he ever is. As far as I know he hasn't done one since the end of the show, and given the length of time since it ended I don't know if anyone but an LGBTQ reporter would ask him.

But he seems the type to give no f**** about what the network doesn't want said, once it's no longer a question of protecting a mystery story that is still being told.
