fr tho hate how white characters can get away w shit like actual genocide and fucking blowing up planets but let a character of color have even the littlest bit of attitude and people show up w fucking pitch forks and torches
"bob got his feelings hurt🤬", idgaf about his feelings, if he wanna be out here beinf a menance to society, then he deserve to get his feelings hurt. talking bout some "i just sympathize w morally grey characters" but let them see a lil color and all tgat sympathy goes out the fucking window, yall asses aint slick
and god, dint even get me started on them purposefully misinterpreting canon to justify a white characters actions, that shit will never cease to blow my mind
The worst part is when majority of a fandom write off those criticisms from actual black ppl/poc as us just complaining about everything and making it about race. Like, let me ask you, would all this vitriol exist if the characters were white? They claim it would but then just so happens to love a canonically worse yt character.
Im not saying people can’t like villains or anything but it’s always crazy how in most fandoms, the most hated/disliked/ignored characters will be the non white ones no matter their affiliations but the boring yt mf will be the fan fave ESPECIALLY if they’re a villain.
But if/when you call out the racism/colorism, now everyone is up in arms and claiming that you’re calling people racist for not liking certain characters or saying that you’re just labeling anyone who disagrees with you as a racist. It’s crazy asf how we’re expected to be happy with bare minimum crumbs but I just cannot.
