Karen: It must be hard for you sometimes hey?

BIPOC: I mean, yeah sure, sometimes. I don't dwell on these things
Karen: But tell me, what's the worst thing you've experienced? You must have some stories.

BIPOC: well yeah, I've gone through my share of racist abuse, but I don't want to go through them again just so a Traumavore can walk away with my story and not help do anything about it.

Karen: Aw shit, I guess I'll go ask another brown person for my next hit of Trauma.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
