    Did they even watch it lmao. Camina Drummer, one of the biggest badasses on the show, is a woman who is explicitly pan and in a polyamorous relationship. Not to mention Holden casually mentions has eight mothers and fathers, and the DNA from all of them. And one of the major characters from season 3 is a gay woman. You have Amos whose sex drive is a physical need he takes care of on occasion but who is uninterested in romantic entanglements. Like there are non-hetero non-"vanilla" people all over the place and no one is bothered in the slightest.

    Also the main relationship on the show (Holden-Naomi, center two in the image) is interracial.

    No message

    Real "the curtains are just blue" moment.

      drummer is literally a insurrectionist and revolutionary

      the ending is a type of fuck you to neoliberal compromise

      the belters are absolutely demanding a type of land reform in a space sense

    no woke (there are gay characters)

    no agenda (do not trust protomolecules)

    no message (mars should be communist)

    The show is just a thinly veiled allegory for the Cold War and why Mao was right to wanna nuke the West (this includes the revisionist USSR)

    I don't know, the woman in that picture seems to be wearing pants, seems pretty woke to me

    spoiler

    One of the characters in the show was killed off because the actor was being a sex pest with fans

      Absolutely, it's one of the best scifi shows of the decade.

        I only watched the first season, life got in the way of finishing my treat, but I was blown away at the production value and the universe building.

        The books are obviously better, but I didn't get to finish them either 😭

          Honestly the books aren't all that much better which is a testament to the show. Both are great and worth experiencing.

      I thought it was good but it got canceled before wrapping up the main plot, so I'd steer clear if you're someone who wants an ending.

        Or read the books, they're also really good and the series was wrapped up not too long ago.
