Scream Queens (2015)

Scream Queens features LGBTQ+ characters whose identities are primarily used for comedic mockery and villainous plot points. Boone Clemens' gay identity is tied to his role as a killer, while Chad Radwell's homoerotic undertones are a consistent source of trivializing humor. The show's satirical approach lacks any affirming or respectful portrayal, resulting in a net negative impact.

Scream Queens features Feather McCarthy, a transsexual character whose identity is primarily used for sensationalism and comedic shock value in a flashback plotline. Her portrayal lacks depth or dignity, serving as a plot device rather than a complex individual. A minor character also briefly mentions a 'transgender boyfriend' without further development, contributing to an overall problematic depiction.

The series consistently portrays characters who identify as Christian or make superficial religious references as deeply hypocritical, selfish, and morally bankrupt. The narrative uses these characters to satirize superficiality and self-interest, offering no significant counterbalancing positive or nuanced depiction of the faith or its genuine adherents.
