its wild to me when people debate how problematic a show is with this or that odd implication, when im out here watching corny scifi comedy eureka, which is bald-faced eugenics. sometimes a thing can be enjoyable and have loveable characters and fun family friendly plots and also be deeply deeply offensive.

#i have a lot to say about eureka like goddamn did the later seasons get REALLY REALLY OFFENSIVE #and when your STARTING PREMISE is eugenics thats actually pretty impressive #see also: my big comfort show stargate sg1 #which is based in the INCREDIBLY racist and insulting ancient aliens conspiracy #and the implicit idea that the united states military is the best equipped to solve random sovreign nations' problems #(altho to be fair its actually a LOT less military propaganda than you'd think)#stargate isnt near as bad as eureka tho if only because it seems fairly aware of the pitfalls its created #even if it doesnt always succeed it at least pays lip service #eureka super duper does not do that
