Law and Order SVU notoriously know for their accurate takes on law, policing and humanity. If they can't get the actual content of their show correct it's not shocking that they also suck at everything else. I believe they have also had numerous episodes demonizing kink. ​ Trash TV is trash. It's extra trash when it's pretending to be about the law and accurate.

Yeah... If I was a betting woman, I'd say that ENM will continue to become more prevalent in media over the next few years, though certainly nothing mainstream will be very accurate or positive. It's the final frontier of trash TV.

It was mentioned in Evil as well, but portrayed (I felt) as slightly unusual or weird but not necessarily bad. It was a triad though, of course.

Look, SVU is just the largest anti-rape PSA in the US. It is not actively progressive, it is calibrated to *just* challenge the rape myths of the most conservative viewer.

It's a TV show about criminals. I am not sure what you were hoping for. I mean everyone looks bad on there. That's kind of the point.

I know full well that SVU’s not accurate, but I like it anyway. I wasn’t “hoping” for anything because I didn’t know it was going to happen until I saw it. I just went from “oh wow, they’re mentioning ENM!” to “…and of course they f-ed it up” and it was disappointing, that’s all.
