So stupid question but how many series period are represented in their
statistics vs last year? I mean if there are fewer shows it's not
shocking there would be less characters of ANY sexual preference
assuming all shows this year have the same number of characters as
those last year which I agree is an assumption but I don't see
anything suggesting there are on average fewer characters per show
this year over past years...

I just got another one of those postcards that tells you they’ve let
another kidnapper/child molester move into your neighborhood. This one has
his name and photo and description (both him and his crimes), but unlike
earlier ones only tells you the nearest main intersection to where he
lives, not his actual physical address. I wonder if that had turned
problematic for them?
