My complaint:
Recently I have started watching the show ‘Never Have I Ever’ which is a comedic drama on Netflix. It’s a great show besides the fact that many of the stars are saying potentially harmful things about short people. I recognise this is done for comedic purposes but since being short is not perceived as a positive thing in society, contributing to it may hurt some people. Saying things like ‘it’s always the short ones’ when Fabiola’s parents assumed that her boyfriend got her pregnant is very misleading and incorrect. It defeats the comedic purpose of this, so please quit making short jokes just for the sake of it. It’s disgusting. This wasn’t the only remark made so this is clearly a repeated issue.
Suggested solution:
They should contact the script makers and inform them of this because clearly they need it.
