Discuss[edit]

BIG Thanks for the spoiler on this page about season 2, which hasn't been shown in the UK yet. I didn't expect plot points to be given away here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.252.159 (talk) 17:38, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Bigmooseextreme:, @Trut-h-urts man:, let's discuss the terms of usage. I understand that Trut-h-urts man's argument is that it's reliably sourced, and that Bigmooseextreme's argument is that it's a derogatory term. Let's discuss it here. Tutelary (talk) 20:06, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(I don't really understand how to use this talk feature, but this is Bigmooseextreme and here are my thoughts on the subject): The sources that @Trut-h-urts man: used are simply random media sites' comments on Job. You can find dozens of other media news and blog sites that use the terms transgender, transvestite, cross-dresser, and drag queen to describe Job. Transvestite is an outdated and offensive term and never used to describe Job by Cinemax, any character in the show, or Hoon Lee himself ^[1] ^[2]^[3]

It's a simple one for me – WP:CENSOR. Though the term may be outdated and seen as derogatory, Wikipedia is not censored. The description in place is, in my opinion, the simplest and most succinct way to describe the character. Obviously the character is much more detailed in the series, but the description on the page should be a clear and concise basic overview of the character, and it would not be complete without adding the fact that Job exhibits the qualities associated with transvestitism. Per the page: "Transvestism (also called transvestitism) is the practice of dressing and acting in a style or manner traditionally associated with another gender." I guess to sum it up, let's call a spade a spade. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 20:56, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(Bigmooseextreme) How does the term "transvestite" work any better than the phrase "who often cross-dresses?" It's only 3 words and is more accurate and less offensive. I don't see the issue with that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigmooseextreme (talk • contribs) 19:13, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the cast section shouldn't it read "Antony Starr as the never named ex-con and master thief released from prison after 15 years who adopts the identity of Banshee's deceased incoming sheriff, Lucas Hood"? 75.118.96.54 (talk) 15:13, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
