Confession:
(not so) Fun Fact: RC added only 2 new canon Black MLIs throughout this entire year since May 2024—Grant and Zane (I won't count Volot because Anti-Black players can get rid of him—which btw is literally the entire point of Wolot's existence). Compare that to 15-16 new White MLIs: Tristan, James, Dragan, Tai, Aldir (he's a fling but still white and therefore highly requested by the fans), Merlin, Edward, Ralph, Abraham, possibly Hobello, Robert Dudley (apparently also a fling), Albert, Mads, Anders (another fling which begs the question—why are flings always white?) and Michael; also the masked blond guy from AN3 could be an LI (at the very least, the usual begging for The White Male LI has already started in regards to him) I'm sure it's all just a coincidence and definitely NOT a reflection of the unfair societal opinion and negative stereotypes about Black men. With White men, on the other hand, being idolized as perfect romantic leads in tons of romcoms and dramas. And some people in this fandom still have the audacity to complain about Black men ruining RC for them. You see, because of Black MLIs' existence they can no longer consider other options and have to choose The White Man of the story by default 🥺😭I guess the only acceptable number of Black male LIs to them is zero. "Only 2 Black MLIs in a whole year" is already two LIs too many in their opinion
