Teen Magazine, Girlfriend, shares just a few issues they have noticed with the new Netflix show, “Sierra Burgess Is a Loser.”

For start, can I just say the title itself sounds pretty degrading….

“Sierra Burgess Is a Loser” is about an ambitious but unpopular high-schooler who starts exchanging texts with a guy she finds herself falling for — except he thinks she is Veronica, the most popular girl in school.

The review of the series by Girlfriend mag sums it up as “a trash-fire MESS of homophobia, transophobia, fat-shaming, revenge porn and sexual assault. Not to mention the entire film is based on cat-fishing.”

The issues with “Sierra Burgess Is a Loser” according to Girlfriend…
