Roseanne reboot to have "gender creative nine year old"
God help us all!
What the hell is gender creative? Is this a new term that we all must learn in order to be inclusive enough?

The article claims that Sarah Chalke was part of the original cast. She was not the original Becky. That was Alicia Goranson. But they already made a little joke about her being switched in one of the episodes. And I think that Alicia Goranson did come back for a short time. It might have been for the last episode.
So in other words, you want a kid with a normal range of emotions who can pretend to be a made up gender for the camera? A bunch of crazy parents will see this as a template to further ruin their young children's lives.
I remember the lesbian thing. It was shoehorned in pretty fast though with no back context as far as I remember. It was Roseanne's mother and it was so all of the sudden and weird. Popped out of nowhere with a whole episode about it. Around the last season, Roseanne Arnold Barr whatever we was calling herself started using the show as an experiment to float her idea for an American version of Absolutely Fabulous. Thank the gods that didn't pan out. We have a perfectly good UK version that was available for Americans to see on Comedy Central anyway. As far as I am concerned that final season never happened. I don't even acknowledge it. It's just too damn bad to deserve that much.
But what about Dan? In the horrific final episode of the final season many like to pretend never existed, we find out that the whole series was just Roseanne writing a fictionalized version of her own life story. After a certain first season episode where Roseanne gets a writing studio in the basement that is never mentioned again, that is the cutoff point for anything that was supposed to be canon. Meaning almost the entire series was a lie, with Dan having died some years before the final episode if I recall. I think it was around the time he had a heart attack at Darlene's wedding. Which he survived in the fictional account but not in Roseanne's real world.
Also, she had reversed Darlene and Becky's boyfriends. So in the real world Darlene dated Mark and real world Becky dated David. Which seems really strange. Also I think real world Jackie was the lesbian, not Roseanne and Jackie's mom. I'm confused by the ending was so awful I can't really care to sort it out.
So does this mean non-binary gender creative kid is real or just one of Roseanne's books? Does he not exist in the real reality of Roseanne Conner's world? Or did they make the wise decision to jettison the last season because it was garbage and a piss poor attemt at getting producers interested in what would likely be an unwatchable Absolutely Fabulous adaption?
Tumblr will love the little non-binary child. I'm fine with a gender creative adult. At least it's an adult. They can play it for laughs. But a child is going too far and will only encourage more forced troonery on young children.
Anyway, Dan lives! The only good part about this I guess.
