CAN WE TALK ABOUT LEGION’S GAMER PROFILE

AND THE FACT THAT HE DONATED TO AN EDEN PRIME FUNDRAISER

AND THAT HE SPENT 75 HOURS ON A ROMANCE GAME

Thanks to @musinginga for recommending this!

This is a great in-depth article about the contrast between how a white woman is treated in Netflix’s Daredevil vs. the treatment of a Black woman and an Asian woman. All of whom are love interests for the white male lead. Very well written commentary about media racism that is so ingrained and so ubiquitous that it often goes unrecognized as something harmful.

Karen is taken on dates and is formally courted by Matt. Claire and Elektra are the women he’s with only under the cover of darkness, where he’s rougher, less considerate, and embodies more masculine aggression. I can’t emphasize enough what kind of message this sends about what the writers and Matt think of women of color, and how harmful it is for WoC to see themselves as the girls who a white man will come to at night, but never take out during the light of day. We know that stories have a marked effect on self esteem, and the less a WoC sees herself portrayed positively in media, the less likely she is to feel like the society she’s in values her as a human being.
