I find it interesting that the only people who actually understand the complexities of a Black character of all ages who’s a woman/girl are always Black women. We are the only one that sees our own humanity even in characters that aren’t real.
Most the time with some exceptions. I have never seen more black women in my fandom life be so ugly as they are about Darla Sutton on Queen Sugar just because they refuse to say they hold bias because she’s a recovering addict and coddles Rah only because they thirst over Kofi…lol
Ahhh I have notice a trend that when the show is considered a “Black” show, I see more Black women being ugly towards the women on the show and its always seems to be in defense of Black men. Yet if the show is majority white or non-Black that’s when I see the rally to protect Black women on shows happen. I feel like there is something to unpack there on why there is such a switch in protection but I honestly don’t know. I have seen some hate towards Charlie as well before and I was just like..why? Lol
Oh yeah its a fact and yep Charley got (and gets it still but not as rampant) too. Nova has as of late got a shift of it as well but the writing has fed into that for her this year- outside of folks bringing factors like her sexuality into it when that shouldn’t be and is not the issue but yeah. Lots to unpack on that.
Same happened with Lynn on Black Lightning and again same set up with show and majority audience
