Srsly have you watched TV lately...? Male white heterosexual angsty protagonist growing up - ZAP - male white heterosexual angsty protagonist fighting crime - ZAP - male white heterosexual protagonist ... doing stuff while showing that he hates women - ZAP - male white heterosexual angsty and abusive protagonist doing heroic stuff - ZAP - male white heterosexual angsty manchild protagonist hating on his wife - ZAP - male white heterosexual angsty manchild protagonist having adventures with his racially diverse best friend.

OH, unless it's a female protagonist. Female white "eyecandy" heterosexual angsty protagonist having a career until season two, when she remembers women ought to have babies - ZAP - female white "eyecandy" heterosexual angsty protagonist fighting crime and the rising sexual tension with her rugged hetersexual sidekick - ZAP - female white "eyecandy" heterosexual angsty and worryingly thin protagonist being psychic - ZAP ack, to hell with it.

Not to mention that the only LGBT folks on TV there are a.) white and b.) either (supposedly) funny or dead. Or both.

I think the only media that could possibly be worse are opera and graphic novels. Boy am I glad I never got into either of those. <_<
