"claire's a bad mom" claire chose to have her kids claire tells her kids bedtime stories and claire pretends not to be in life threatening danger when she's terrified for her own and her kids' safety to help them stay calm and literally only wants to know if they're okay before prioritizing herself and keeping them far away from danger by rescuing herself i think ur just racist

#TO tag #anyway i like isaac's role here #i do wonder if the 'you do not have a husband' observation from him was the writers implying single parenthood is bad #and too difficult etc even though literally 99% of parents would yell at their kids for throwing things in a shuttle anD CRASHING THEM #i think any additional support in parenting is great but i do not like the nuclear family norm isaac was going off of even if it #was meant to be a convo starter given how it is also supposed to point out a problem -#claire having kids without a husband - that he can Solve #BUT ALSO I LIKE HIM IN THEIR FAMILY?#the orville experience is 'wow fucked up implications to get to this conclusion. unfortunately i like this conclusion.'#like him holding her hand while she's breaking down about ty?#you can kinda tell she has had the burden of everything bad that has ever happened to them on her and her alone #and for once she isn't alone in it? and that does mean something #it does not mean she is an insufficient parent #it just means it's easier with help #and idk if i trust the writers to understand that lol #espppppp with certain stereotypes but i am not going to get into that #i will say it is interesting she is a single black mom by choice #in a way that subverts the expectation that the kids' dad(s) left #but there are still stereotypes about fatherless black kids? so i am cautious abt the idea that isaac is Fixing things by filling a role #idk like you just rly gotta be careful with the implications lol i dont have the braincells to articulate it but #i think in most other media i would be slightly less concerned despite inevitable biases everywhere it's just.#this show in particular and its general audience base i do not trust #.... i have got to shut the fuck up but (metallic) white savior complex #i think i am making problems where there are non lmfao but i also notice a possible issue with at least how theyre perceived #with isaac INEVITABLY being the calm non emotional logic one #whereas... bc she is human!! claire gets angry #isaac's logical 'parenting' was more effective in conflict resolution #makes sense.#i do just wonder. how claire being a black woman. with emotions.#is coming into play. with how people see her human reactions vs isaac the actual robot's approach
