Way to confuse my argument.

Let's get two things straight:

1, LGBT issues don't even factor into it. Psychotic lesbians in media are so very tired. It's a dumb cliche and being over the top to the point of 'irony' about it doesn't make it any better. She had no personality. All she had was her sexuality, and her sexuality was being bounced around humorously for the rest of the cast and the audience to laugh at. It was pathetic. She was a pathetic character written in for the express purpose of getting cheap laughs. Cheap lowest common denominator laughs, as I can't imagine anyone with half a brain thought 'Haha, she's a lesbian. She's psychotic. That's funny.' (That being said, one of my more recent favourite characters was also a psychotic lesbian in a majority straight cast. She was also a good character and the drama was well played.)

This is indignation from a narrative standpoint, a humourist standpoint and the standpoint of someone with more braincells than tv channels.

2, I am not projecting. I am most definitely not projecting on a useless aggravating little waste of skin like Scott. I don't care how many exes Ramona had, I don't care if she lost her virginity at the age of 11. I really don't care. I just hate the fact that the angst was so forced, the character drama with Scott was so incoherent 'Oh no maybe I'll end up like Gideon' bullshit and the eventual resolution was so ridiculously cheap.
