Y'all will go on and on about the abuse and trauma suffered by white men like Billy and Henry, defend them, thirst over them, woobify them etc

But the very goddamn second there is an equally hurt and traumatized brown woman on your screens who is grieving and beaten down and fucking EXHAUSTED by the weight of what she's endured, what her sister and countless others have endured or may endure in the future, and genuinely doesn't see any other way to stop the pain and suffering other than death, you racist ass motherfuckers immediately start bending over backwards in your attempt to villanize her, call her a traitor, even insist that she's secretly in league with the fucking mind flayer because why?

Because a non-white character doesnt fit into your pre approved box of how they should be? Because you hate to see a woman whose trauma doesn't make her soft and sad and fragile?

I’m sooo tired of straight people thinking the most inspiring thing that can happen to queer characters on tv is to come out and be accepted
