TREM’s original tv show All in Favor is a spin-off of webseries, Unproductive. The pilot episode shows how students use their voices to come up with conclusions of how issues should be solved. Whether a student should be expelled or a professor should be fired.
Off the bat I’m team Billie. She comes out being assured of her every decision in every meeting. She shows the most logical way of dealing with
conflicts that come up during the meetings.
All the students including Aaron, Billie, Liam and Olivia had valid points during the meetings. Though Billie has more cogent arguments. I agree with Billie on Lex Stone being evaluated.
The characters saying at the beginning in their first meeting on the question should the student be expelled from college for plagiarism? “Not everyone is perfect” Is correct, Though there will always be consequences, even if they are small. It comes up again in their second meeting. Lex Stone knows she made a mistake, Liam and Matt both can empathize with her as well.
“It’s just a Tweet.” Is insensitive. Instead of our Era being ashamed of how we’re quick to cancel someone for a tweet we should take it as having low tolerance for discrimination and shaming people for their sexuality. If we continue to call passive-aggressive racism and homophobia jokes, oppression and apathy will continue to keep happening and it will only worsen. This Era’s downfall is making jokes about serious things like racism, transphobia, and homophobia. Another example of how Jokes can hurt movements is like the name “Karen.” Naming someone who is privileged and controversial as Karen only dilutes the fact that a white woman can get away with oppression, racism, homophobia and harassment. Jokes only hurt our fight for change because it blurs our vision of what’s right and wrong.
Lex Stone is a controversial character on All In Favor. In this Pilot Episode her character didn’t learn her lesson and chose to instead quietly quit to save herself from getting any consequences. Like many celebrities and businesses when they are “cancelled,” they don’t exactly want to admit what they said was wrong. Lex Stone knew the head of the college wasn’t going to let it go. In what I can agree is that we all have things that we regret saying and doing when we were ignorant and not really thinking of others feelings. That is a valid excuse but we should understand that there are consequences to actions and words. Especially when you’re a professional like Lex Stone where she has a boss and students. Though it’s not appropriate if all her students and college peers already know of it. Those mistakes can ruin relationships and make people uncomfortable. It leads to complaints from students and professors who don’t stand that type of inappropriate behavior. Like Billie, Billie was already fond of Professor Stone. She says just because they do something good doesn’t mean they are a good person. She’s right, you can be nice to your friends and to your family but that doesn’t excuse someone from being racist or homophobic at all.
