Am I the only one who can see the male "actives" in Dollhouse? Alpha? Dead naked shower guy, what's-his-face-who's-name-I-can't-remember-if-that's-even-his-real-name, random dudes walking around and crawling into their hole in the floor just like the females?

Is it like selective gender blindness?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this statement? Do mean that the show is ignoring the fact that male actives actually exist? Because with Alpha and Vincent, they're obviously not.

Please clarify/elaborate. :)

No, I don't think she show's ignoring it at all. (And thank you for his name!) I think many people watching the show are ignoring it for the convenience of labeling the entire outfit sexist.

(I should probably have a dollhouse icon, no?)

Ah, you mean like super!sexy chicks doing one's every desire? Gotcha. Well, there's obviously a big part of the show because Eliza Duskhu is the star rather than a male lead, but I definitely agree that that's definitely not what it's all about (especially in the pilot where we she Echo as a social activist rather than a bimbo of some sort. :D)

Yes, you should! :D

If it was a male lead people would complain they weren't telling it from a female perspective. (Can Echo technically have perspective, at this point? LOL)

I thought his name was Victor?

Eep, is it? Yep, it is!

I'm sorry, KC and quiet_rebel. But at least I was close, no? :D

Hahaha, it's okay. Easy mistake! You were close!

Victor is fun to say.
