Sexual insensitivity is insensitive
DEAR SGA FANDOM.
It's *still* not funny when you magically de-age two female characters and one male character, and then have the girls check the unconscious male's genitals out for shits and giggles. It's also a little skeevy when you write half the middle-aged female population as lusting over the teenaged male.
Yes, I know the show had a bad habit of drawing "humour" from having McKay get mocked by his friends, but this is not a way to endear your readers. Unless you can keep the scene funny if you switch the genders of the characters, you really, really shouldn't resort to this type of "humour".
And in case you don't get it, let me spell it out. Having a boy check out an unconsious girl's genitals is not funny. Having a group of middle-aged men openly lust after a teenaged girl isn't funny either.
Stop being such a goddamned douchebag.
(WHY does the fandom let people get away with shit like this? Why is it okay to write scenes like this when it's about a male character, when we all know we'd be up in arms about it if it was a female character?)
