The showrunners chose to make Louis and Claudia black and experience life in the Jim crow era. They chose to do the full race swap in season 1, not just making the characters but also the story black. They chose to racialize the violence that both Louis and Claudia face throughout the first season. No one was forcing their hands and they got praised for the stuff they did in the first two seasons, for bringing in the added nuance of systemic racism. So why should I as an audience member of colour give them any grace when they choose to write dialogues containing numerous racialized and gendered micro aggressions not just towards Louis or Claudia but also towards minor characters like Dee or Lemuel who weren't supposed to exist as they are (black) in the show?? Why is Daniel (a white man) who is supposed to be a Pulitzer prize winning investigative journalist who was lecturing Louis on his own story about the racism he faced referring to him as a "bucket of Louisiana fried chicken"?? Why is Armand textually belittled for being a CSA victim while Lestat is endlessly provided with grace and understanding in the text of the show for his victimhood?? Who thought it was alright to adapt a scene from the books involving white characters talking about parental betrayal and insert racially charged dialogues (that too old school racist shit not even the n word) when it was unnecessary to preserve the nuance of the scene?? Why is this show denying the racialized nature of domestic violence that they chose to portray in S1 ??? (Lestat getting mildly annoyed that Louis didn't enjoy going to the operas in nola when he had to act as Lestat's servant to be allowed in tf??) Why is Gabriella like that??

when i lived in england i literally thought i was asexual bc i was so grossed out by everyone

If the holocaust denialism SOMEHOW wasn't enough for you to shut up about your favourite kids book as an adult; JK Rowling just committed a sex crime IRL against a transgender woman.

I keep thinking about how I was being accused of dehumanizing Argentina by talking about what I saw and it's just like... This was a World Staged Event. The Entire Planet was watching. We all saw the poor conduct of the team and of the fans. Were we not supposed to... Gather anything from that? How is it not the fault of the team and the fans for embarrassing their country with their behavior, but instead our faults for talking about what may have led to that sort of behavior? And again, this was not just me! Plenty of folks from across the pond and in Latin America were also talking about it!

There is a huge racism problem in Latin America (or possibly 1000 separate, but interactive racism problems). I'm Mexican, and personally I was terrified that Mexico, as a host nation, would embarrass itself by doing something racist; but Mexico came out smelling like roses by being extremely hospitable and adopting South Korea as a sibling nation.
