LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Carrie Bradshaw, the beloved sex columnist from ‘Sex and the City’, has become a subject of intense discussion among fans of ‘And Just Like That’. Despite her reputation as an open-minded and adventurous writer, fans have noticed a surprising trend of prudish behavior from Carrie when it comes to discussing sex topics on the show.
As a sex columnist, Carrie was known for her boldness, curiosity, and willingness to explore all aspects of sexuality on 'Sex and the City'. However, fans have expressed their disappointment as they observe her avoiding or acting uncomfortable during conversations related to sex and sexual experiences in the reboot show. The apparent shift in Carrie's behavior has sparked debate among fans, with some speculating on the reasons behind this out-of-character behavior. Why would a woman, who once embraced a sex-positive attitude, become more reserved as she got older? And if so, is she ashamed of who she once was?
‘Carrie is surprisingly such a… prude’
Many fans have taken to social media to voice their reactions, expressing their frustration and pointing out the apparent inconsistencies in Carrie's character portrayal. Many fans argue that as a seasoned columnist and advocate for sexual liberation, Carrie should be more open-minded and supportive when it comes to discussing topics that were once her forte. As one fan wrote, “For someone who writes about sex, Carrie is surprisingly such a… prude”, and another added, “Carrie, so-called sex writer, can’t engage in a conversation about sex”. One more fan wrote, “Upon my rewatches as an adult, I realize how much Carrie has always been the problem and the least likable one, BUT has she always been this lame and prudish? Have we been blind this whole time? This can't just be maturing, she's a totally different person!”
Although fans remain hopeful that the character will rediscover her confident and sex-positive self, staying true to her iconic role as the fearless sex columnist, the 'AJLT' episodes aren't helping. “Carrie Bradshaw, a sex columnist, too timid to talk about sex?! I hate all of this!!!!” read one tweet, while another said, “When did Carrie, the sex columnist, become such a prude”. One more user reflected her shift in behavior from ‘SATC’ to ‘AJLT’ adding, “Carrie Bradshaw was a sex columnist and even in her 50s on the show she blushes at the talk of pegging between friends. Her column must have been in the Post. Lol”.
