Why Bridgerton Shows We Need to Talk About Consent...AGAIN! (Light Work #8)

Content Warning for discussion and depiction of sexual assault.

Netflix’s Bridgerton is a big hit, and rightfully so. Even though it’s not my cup of tea, I can see the qualities it has for the audience it’s intended for. It’s well acted, beautifully designed, and it pulls off the core tropes of it’s genre to a level that’s hard to beat.

So… why did it leave such a bad taste in my mouth? Well the reason for this is much like Wonder Woman, this show seems to have some issues with consent when it comes to men. I honestly don’t know what’s in the water right now that this keeps coming up.

Either way I’m gonna do my best to get to the bottom of it on this Light Work.
