Episode 32: Semicolon Abuse

from Literary Demerit · host Siobhan and Kester

Part two of part six of Dirty Laundry, aka the “Warning: Triggering Homophobia” scene. The tension that’s been building in the Sanchez household finally comes to a boiling point at Christmas Eve dinner! Will it all end out alright, or will it be just as worse? We also decided to cover part seven of Dirty Laundry in its entirety in our second segment, as it’s not long enough to justify spending a whole episode on and, I’ll be honest, I think we’re both trying to get this over with as fast as possible at this point for the sake of our dwindling mental stability. Content warnings: there’s some homophobia (obviously), albeit milder than the “triggering homophobia” warning would suggest. Unfortunately this part of the story makes up for being less homophobic than expected by being really bizarrely misogynistic again for no reason, and there wasn’t any warning for that.
