Transcript
On social media right now, there's kind of been a wave of people really going at Carrie in the early days. Like, being really critical. The word toxic is used a lot. Do you ever feel almost, like, defensive of Carrie? First of all, the fact that there's any narrative at all about a fictional character that's been in pop cultures for twenty eight years coming from 20 year olds is thrilling. Yeah. Okay. Rank secondly, she was born at a time in television where women couldn't be complicated. A heroine and a victim have an affair and still be loved. So her conflicted personality is by demand. It was by design and society has evolved too now where that behavior back in the in the nineties that behavior was cool or normal. Mhmm.
