i think some of you guys are very obviously concern trolling over justice smith’s casting as harris because the argument “a man in his position would suffer racism” being used against his casting but like a man in scott’s position would experience extreme homophobia and potential violence but we’re allowed to suspend our disbelief for the sake of queer joy being depicted on screen, but when that queer joy includes a black man it’s suddenly not realistic?
“oh justice was set up to fail with this casting. they shouldn’t have cast a black man in this role because there’ll be backlash.” or you guys could not be racist about it? lol? we’re in a time where any minority casting gets severe backlash (hello odyssey) so what? is the solution to just not cast minorities in genre films? in romcoms? in superhero media? you’re letting twitter outrage dictate casting in movies and tv now?
