out of curiosity though<\/p>\n

how do other people deal with jack\u2019s moment of transphobia in greek\u2019s bearing gifts?<\/p>\n

like do most people not even really notice it at all? have you figured out a way to explain it away? do you think it makes any kind of sense for jack\u2019s character? what does the fandom actually think about this?<\/p>\n

also, for everyone who\u2019s been in the fandom way longer than me, has john barrowman ever addressed this moment? has anyone ever confronted him with it and asked him his thoughts on it?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I suppose that they did that just \u2018\u2018for the laughs\u2019\u2018 \/ didn\u2019t actually mean all that much by it.<\/p>\n

Somehow, that only makes it worse :\/<\/p>\n

(though no, I have no idea whatsoever whether john ever addressed that. anybody else??)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I don\u2019t remember a scene where Jack is transphobic. Can someone tell me which scene it is? \u00a0I feel like I\u2019ve missed something here. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s towards the end of Greek Bearing Gifts, where Jack\u2026 let\u2019s just say \u2018\u2018joked\u2019\u2018 about being \u2018\u2018suspicious whenever a friend starts behaving out of character\u2019\u2018 ever since a friend of his, named Victor apparently, behaved strangely for a while, went away for a couple of days or smth and when he came back, wanted to be called Vanessa (you can imagine the rest I guess).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a pretty terrible \u00a0moment I tend to forget until I watch the episode or someone talks about it. I know Barrowman has said some problematic things in the past himself. I\u2019m sure the thought was it was for the laughs, but it\u2019s a really ugly moment, and to me it feels out of character:<\/p>\n

JACK: Friend of mine. Let’s call him Vincent, that was his name after all. Regular guy, girlfriend, likes his sport, likes a beer. He starts acting a little strange, a little distracted. Suddenly he disappears for a couple of months. He comes back, and we’ve got to start calling him Vanessa. Since then I’ve always been a little nervous when a friend behaves out of character. I’m sorry, we haven’t been introduced. Jack Harkness. My guess is you’re not from around these parts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For the record the screenwriter was\u00a0<\/p>\n
