So I'm enjoying #Hacks and the Jean Smart appreciation that popped up in my TL last night has put me on to several shows I hadn't checked out - Will definitely watch @FargoFX unlikely to check out #MareofEasttown but I do have to say something about Ava on #Hacks
As a consumer of tons of movies & television I absolutely cannot stand the fascination Hollywood writers have with bratty privileged white characters that as supposedly sympathetic because of "fill in the blank" tragedy - IE: Ava is the worst thing about #Hacks
Ava's entire story arc so far (mind you I'm only a few episodes in) reeks of a kind of white woman zoomer privilege that I guess is supposed to be funny and endearing but is downright abrasive to viewers not in that demographic
Ava on #Hacks
1. Whines about being cancelled for a homophobic joke
2. Yells at her agent
3. Doesn't prepare for an interview with #DeborahVance
4. Cusses out Deborah Vance, In 👏 That 👏Woman's 👏House
And the result of this behavior?
She's rewarded with a JOB! 🤨

I'm sure there's some redemption arc for Ava somewhere in this story, but in this era of #BBQBeckies and #Karens this kind of white privilege on steroids should be retired from comedy forever. It's not cute, it's not funny and quite frankly it makes it hard to follow #Hacks
