Miranda Rae Mayo Instagram Story Update with LaRoyce and Daniel 8/30/25

[sailingfireshipz]

USA is running a marathon for Pride Month highlighting Ritters' character, and to that, all i can say is. Justice for Darren Ritter and every Black/POC/LGBTQIA+ character across this universe that's fallen victim to the systemic bullshit under the guise of "budget cuts" or "creative direction".

It's already fucked up that there's only one LGBTQIA+ character on this show oh just kidding in the entire OneChicago universe that also doubles as the only black man now on Fire and they with all of their audacity cut his character without warning.

Then to add insult to injury they do it in a manner that does not allow for his story to even come to a natural end or progression because no matter what bullshit excuse they concoct to write him off none of it will matter or make remote sense because they rarely if ever invested in his character development/arc to begin with.

Post his first season or two as a regular, they reduced him to a sidekick to everyone else's stories or shenanigans, never fully allowing him to carry his own arcs, and I don't understand why. I understand he's not considered a lead character. However, he is and has been a series regular for years and deserved the opportunities to tell stories that represented what his character meant/represented to others!

It's not enough to just have the token black/poc/lgbtqia actor or character just to check the box. It's not enough to just have them in the room or on the screen if you're not going to do something meaningful with them! It's performative in nature and does not present authenticity at all. 😒

Especially in today's climate where so many powers at be are trying to erase, destroy, or censor the history/legacy of any and every minority group that doesn't fit the racist, misogynistic, bigoted "mold" you'd think networks and production companies would use this as an opportunity to use their size/scale as an avenue to fight back with its messaging but instead they fall right in line with the narrative. Whether that be consciously or unconsciously, I do not know. What I do know is perception and perception is certainly not a great one if you're a fan of these shows.

Ritter is just one recent example of how flawed the system is, and I say system because this shit is systemic. If we sit with it long enough and really start to peel back the layers, we can find a list of characters treated strangely similar across the universe, and they all have one thing in common.

They don't fit the "mold."

Sometimes, I wonder if Stella wasn't attached to Severide. Would she even still be here on our screens today? Had Matt not gone to Oregon 🙄 would she even be a lieutenant... at 51 or anywhere for that matter. Would the investments into her character or arc even be made had she not been attached to the white male main character lead...🤔 Sit with that.

In no way am I ragging on Kelly either. I love Stellaride, but I also love Stella Kidd as a standalone character. My frustration comes from a place of IF she and Kelly DIDN'T hit it off. IF they didn't have the insane chemistry and love story that we adore. WOULD the powers at be still find value in what her character represents in this show, and WOULD they have invested in it the same? Because at the end of the day, Stella Kidd is a WOC character!

They always talk about how there's not enough women/woc/poc representation in the CFD, yet when given the opportunity to correct the narrative, they chose to uphold it. Why? 🤔
