MODERATORS
Honestly, when I hear that interpretation it makes me feel like the person didn't actually watch the season, they just watched the outrage peddling influencers online.
Semi-related but I lost count of the number of times someone on Reddit described Adira's coming out (a ten second moment in a larger unrelated scene) as a "huge story arc" or being comprised of "multiple episodes" being "shoved in the audiences faces". I felt like I was taking crazy pills until I learned that's exactly how the outrage-tubers were presenting it. If you'd never watched the season you'd have no idea it was such an inconsequential moment.
Sorry to say, I watched every single episode, up until the end of that season, myself. I'll admit to being extra harsh in judging this season since I was already pretty fed up with the writing by that point. I had very little patience left.
I'm sorry, but if you truly watched the entire season, you'd know that your description of the events is incongruous with the events as presented on screen.
