Chalk one up for well-rounded characters and undermining stereotypes. No, wait ...
Because your position, of course, is that you would make it perfectly fine on a sink estate in Glasgow. And that this, and this alone, makes you not a stereotype. Uh huh.
to annoy you by using an sfnal term at the same time, it feels like a failure of worldbuilding.
Actually, no, you merely vindicated my suspicion that you see everything through a single lens. :P I actually referred to 'world-building' in my Season 1 essay, and concluded that the show doesn't worldbuild in the sfnal sense. [1] So it doesn't surprise me at all that it doesn't work for you.
[1] Because world-building isn't an sfnal term. You just don't use it or consider it in any other context or by any other method.
