Because people don’t know what diverse representation really means. They dont understand the layers that goes into it because alot of times they dont know what can cause harmful representation or lack there of. So they get defensive because they never understood to begin with. Sorry if this sounds redundant

I lost your other reply on my dash but I completely agree with you

stilllearning90 replied to your post: “I was annoyed with how much time Riggs get over the other characters….”:

I agree with anon. One of the things that annoyed me was how centered Riggs was on the show. He got most of the development and storylines. There were literally episodes centered around his backstory and pain. Whereas Roger and the rest go part-time storylines and sometimes throw aways. I wasn’t sure if I was just overthinking it or was there really some differences in the amount of the characters were being given.

2/2 WITH SUCH A DIVERSE CAST OF PEOPLE THE FACT THAT WHITENESS WAS FRONT AND CENTER TO EXPLORE AND HAVE COMPLEXITY. IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I DIDN’T SEE GET CALLED OUT A LOT BUT I’M GLAD I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT SEEN IT.

I had a conversation with a fandom blog here about that re a review they’d made and it didn’t go well of course lol
