watching a bunch of white people forgive the she ra staff for the white washing/explaining it away sure is ....... something
and by something i mean it makes me absolutely sick to my stomach but also its the MOST unsurpising thing ive seen from yall. professional animators, claiming that SOMEHOW, that slip up got through the entire team? honestly, yeah i can see that happening!! because almost the entire team is white!!!! white people are dumb as fuck!!! but it doesnt matter if its an accident or not, what happened happened. and suddenly because they “apologize” means all the whites in the fandom can wash their hands of it and move on!!!! im so glad for yall, but for a lot of other people its not that easy! and honestly i didnt really give that much of a fuck about the “mistake” because this show doesnt really mean that much to me if im being honest. im infuriated because yall are falling for the same things again and again. do better :)
I’m bringing this back in light of the recent actions of the she ra crew. The whitewashing of Mara is now even MORE relevant and insidious knowing the deep biases that Noelle and other members of the crew seem to hold. White people NEED to stop being shocked at white creators when they fuck up like this. Do Better and hold everyone accountable so they don’t continuously get away with disrespecting black and brown fans
