I'm only two episodes into 'The Alienist' (Netflix) and it's pissing me off already.
I was intrigued that it heavily featured a young Theodore Roosevelt during his role as New York Police Commissioner. Unfortunately, they got him all wrong in my opinion; he was just too passive and quiet for my liking. Teddy would have been all over the investigation in real life and nobody else would have got a word in edgeways.
But now to the enforced diversity. Dakota Fanning plays 'the first woman police officer' or something. This is mentioned virtually every-time the character is on-screen. She is subjected to constant sexual abuse apparently and is just a miserable pain in the arse to everyone she meets. She plays the type of harpy whereby you can't even say a simple 'good morning' to without getting a lecture about 'the Patriarchy'.
I was firmly under the impression from marketing etc that her character was a real historical figure. But is she fuck;
.... the same interview, "Manhattan at that time was a melting pot of culture (all Western culture) and religion (all Christian religion - you just had Catholics and protestants of all fibers - with a drop of Chinese - close to none others - Muslims were banned entry) and races (nope - almost all Whites, even Indians got deported, there were small numbers of Chinese), and I think to honor the book and to honor Caleb Carr’s authenticity was part of the draw to the production, to make it as real as possible."[/i]
Yeah, I forgot to say the show is all about underage trannies. So far, the show is garbage, far inferior to the similarly themed Mindhunter.
Male trannies? Transvestites were known in all ages, but they were a subculture of gays and male prostitutes were only for gays.
It's all propaganda in our times - they are likely redrawing history making NYC look far more "diverse" than it truly was. The BBC made 17th century London 30% black - those psycho-fuckers.
And cops in the field were clearly retarded to use - everyone knew that even if they were detectives. But it was not such a terrible "misogynist" time - there were female scientists, doctors and lawyers - they were just very few of them. Being proud of female cops is like being proud of frontline soldiers who get to be sent in first into WWI.
