I noticed quite a few posts made about how the skirt issue should not be brought up on the forum anymore and the replies were laughing at those who still did bring it up. I was just wondering why. I mean, I believe that the rules of the forum states that we aren't allowed to discuss the personal lives of the actors, and that's the only major rule. I think everyone is then free to share their opinions about anything else with regards to the show.
I guess the major argument here is that it already happened so let's just let it go. That's true, but I think discussions about scenes mainly happens after the scene happens it the episode right, we can't possibly discuss something if it hasn't already happened. But it is then argued that it is stale news, so let it go. Actually if you think about it, it only happened an episode ago. And not everyone logs onto the forum everyday, so there might be people who wanna share their thoughts on any incident a little after it has happened. It may be stale news to some, but it isn't to others.
What I truly think is that some are irked by some of the topics made on the skirt issue because it goes against what they think about the issue. That's good, that's healthy, that's what a forum is for. To express your opinion and also to read and find out others' opinions as well. So I suggest that if you don't like what a topic-maker has said about the skirt issue, you can choose to reply with your argument, or you can choose to ignore it. But there's no need to reply and insist that the topic-maker stop talking about it, it is her personal choice whether she wants to talk about it or not. It's a free forum, and everyone's entitled to an opinion.
Besides, since the main argument is about harping on and repeatedly bringing up something that has already happened in the show, I'd just like to say that if I decide to make a post about how much I loved Asad and Zoya's Bol Na Halke sequence from ages ago, nobody would tell me that it's stale news and I should get over it. Because everybody is at a consensus about that sequence - we all loved it.
About the skirt issue, I think the forum is at a consensus that Zoya did a good job by standing up to Asad, no one has a problem with that. The problem is that some members believe that it didn't make sense for Zoya (the character Zoya and no one else) to wear a miniskirt, while some didn't think there was anything wrong. And that's fine, like I said everyone is entitled to an opinion.
I took this meaning of the word 'forum' off the net:
A place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
And this is a forum, and that's what's happening, so I don't see what's wrong. If this were a medium for people to only share what they loved about the show and praise it all the time, it'd be called a fan club, not a forum.
It's just my humble request to let people say what they feel about the show without belittling them. It actually takes a lot more courage to post a topic on a public platform like this than it seems.
