Simon calling Grace “Angel” is NOT a White Savior.

Simon and Grace yearning and pining for one another is NOT a White Savior.

Simon and Grace actually getting along and not at one another’s throats is NOT a White Savior.

Just because Grace is white doesn’t make him a “white savior.” Yall really need to look up what a white savior is for real.

It would be a white savior if Simon called Grace an angel BECAUSE he’s white.

It would be white savior if Simon fell in love with Grace BECAUSE he’s white.

Grace would be a white savior if he saw himself as wonderful and great for helping Simon/ falling in love with Simon because Simon isn’t white.

THAT is white savior complex!

Surprisingly, tumblr hasn’t been at the heart of this. TikTok has been however. I’ve been seeing people throw around “Grace is a white savior!” More than often in the comments over on TikTok and that’s not a white savior!

Eva Stratt, meanwhile, is a stain. Graffiti tucked away in alleys and under bridges, forever painted over by the powers that be. A name meant to be forgotten. Stratt has always known this was part of the deal: after all, humanity needs a villain just as much as it needs its heroes. The best she can hope for is to be erased entirely on Earth.
