But nothing in her look aside from the heels are necessarily just there to make her sexy

 

[Chase]

And that's exactly the point, it shouldn't matter.

 

[Neb]

Okay I got lost

 

[Neb]

I thought the argument here was that Carmen was too sexy

 

[Chase]

It shouldn't matter at all, but to the creators, it seems to matter. Her appearance is what gets represented first in the cartoons, also in Netflix.

 

[Neb]

[Neb]

but like, how could they not, unless she wore a bag on her head

 

[Chase]

It's not black and white, it's a gray area.

 

[Neb]

Personally, Carmen's insane smarts roped me in before her looks did, and I'm gay.

 

[Neb]

And how she handled Lee

 

[Neb]

Really how she handled everything
