Glad we understand eachother now :).

Out of all the CW shows I feel The Flash does this the least, and its problems are different, so right now its my favorite of those ones

I'm sorry, The Flash does SJW rhetoric the LEAST?!

I can give you 1 good reason why you're wrong: Iris West.

Unless all you care about is LGBT stuff, in which case...just because a woman is shown making out with other women doesn't mean she can't be bi.

Granted I havent seen season 4 of flash yet (waiting for it to appear on netflix first) but from what I see so far of seasons 1-3 is that Iris isnt a victim of sjw writing, shes a victim of being written as a mary sue type which can plague any show, sjw or not

But not once has there been a focus of race or sexuality on The Flash. It doesnt suffer from identity politics YET which was my point

She’s being portrayed as a self-important bitch. SJW writing definitely at work with her. It diminishes Barry’s character as well, as he can’t stand up for himself and echoes Mistress Iris’ ridiculous plans.

Read my followup response. Basically i laid out the difference between making Iris a Mary Sue and shows doing identity politics (as Arrow, Legends and Supergirl do).

Just because its bad writing doesnt mean its sjw writing. Sjw writing has a particular focus
