    There are examples in the second link, but I can paste them here for you:

    Scrubs:
    J.D. started as fairly emotionally needy due to him wanting a father figure to replace his own dysfunctional family. Fast forward to season five where J.D. is an appletini (light on the tini)-swilling “sensey” (that’s “sensitive person”) who can’t hold on to his “man cards” (which would be taken away from him if he did something girly) for a full day. This is lampshaded by Zach Braff in the bloopers to Season 8.
    “You haven’t been here in a while, my character’s really gay now.”
    Carla was initially a tough cookie Team Mom. As the seasons went on, the writers Flanderised her obsession with gossip and her domineering tendencies over Turk. She also went from giving advice to forcing her opinions on everyone else and admitting that taking the moral high ground “is like crack for me”.
    Elliot went from being a pretty normal, slightly quirky, girl with no interest in kids and a high degree of efficiency coupled with no personal skills to highly neurotic, obsessed with getting married and having kids, and the most compassionate doctor in the hospital that was only there because she wanted to help people. The family part is at least somewhat justified by the fact that she as she got old she had a stronger desire to settle down.





  • I give them tons of credit for this! With Twitter becoming, in my opinion, basically a Nazi echo chamber, the corporate brands and public personalities staying on the platform basically lends it legitimacy. It says “it’s normal to hang out in public places where hate groups thrive and are encouraged”. Microsoft making this choice is sending a public message that Reddit’s conduct is making the place unsafe - that it’s not perfectly normal to hang out in the subreddit that are lacking moderation.

    It’s not necessarily a perfect comparison because I think Twitter’s leadership is directly doing things to promote harmful and hateful content, whereas reddit I think is just hurting it’s relationship with its own community, but the throughline is the lack of moderation making the content more extreme.
