Our condolences. We know what’s coming.

With love,

Dick Grayson is Romani... Brenton Thwaites is Australian (and his hair isnt even black)

“She’s suppose to be orange”... well Gar is suppose to be green but he’s not (and he can ONLY turn into a tiger and a snake that one time - he’s Beast Boy not Tiger Boy) and Kory’s skin turns orange when she uses her powers

Gar is usually depicted as a white character gone green... Ryan Potter is mixed race and Asian-American

“But she dresses like a hooker”... well Starfire in the comics dresses in what is practically a bathing suit with little to no support for DD breasts and she also kisses people to learn their language

This race of aliens are not real thus gives creative leeway

Feel free to dislike the interpretation or how the character is written (all the Titans except Jason are not their typical “comic book accurate selves”) but you cannot attack an actress for being cast. They’re just trying to get work and trying to do their job to the best of their ability.

Saying “I like Anna Diop as an actress but she is not my Starfire” lacks good reasoning because at the point of many conversations, it is the same as saying “She’s a good actress but a black girl shouldnt be Starfire” because that’s all people say. There is no feedback on the characterisation, this new direction in world building, this new take on the Titans team dynamic or new personality for her overall.
