Also casting Black actors in white roles knowing they will be harassed and mocked for free PR and social media traction…

Sounds like malicious compliance. They give us POC characters but not in a positive way.

This. Exactly this. This finale of vampire lestat left me feeling sick and disgusted.

I am really worried about the Snape change because him being bullied by a bunch of rich white kids is definitely going to be a different vibe

I'm Latina, so not black but there is something with the way they were promoting The Vampire's lestat. When we and 2 amazing seasons and a lack of promotion of The Interview with the Vampire🤔 when Jacob Anderson was the lead. Doesn't sit right with me and is very upsetting.

I thought I was being too critical when watching the vampire lestat, the white writing adding in any slurs when they can. For example, unnecessarily having louis refer to himself as the n slur during his forced apology to armand

because Lestat was there too. him and Armand have unfinished business too, if that’s the excuse we want to use for why this scene happened. Why then did only Louis (and Regina) get tortured, whilst we have this fuckass dream sequence from Lestat??? don’t piss me off.

With Lupita as Helen, I knew something was off! Like I’ve not read every version of the Odyssey so I thought I might be missing something, but I’ve NEVER heard of Helen of Troy having her face destroyed. Also, after having a black man in the lead role of IWTV build up this amazing show and following on his back, to have him sidelined and mutilated was very telling. It’s like they’re trying to put black people “in their place” by humiliating some of the best of us on screen.

There is genuinely no translation or adaptation of The Odyssey where Helen of Sparta gets scarred.

This is all intentional. They're making a point about diversity in casting, about Black people/characters especifially.

Add amber from invincible, they race changed her so ppl could hate watch her thus boosting the show

What gets me about Rhaena in particular isn’t just that she was glamorous, she was considered beautiful enough that people wrote songs about her and the people *adored* her, and they’ve not only got her living in a cave which has NOTHING to do with Nettles’ story, they’ve made sure everybody hates her for her extremely contrived role in Jace’s death. Absolutely no reason to do her like this

Kira Reeves :
With Rhaena it's really sad, because she's canonically very feminine and wears pink, even gets a pink dragon. So it's like... do the writers not think a black woman can be traditionally feminine???

Thank you for talking about Louis!!! It makes me so sick to my stomach how throughout the entirety of the season he’s been the most physically brutalized character :(( It makes me so sad !
