idk how to put this but,,,,,whenever i make or see posts talking about how woc in leading roles are overlooked for their white costars there’s always just...so many excuses. saying that you like the jatp boys more than julie bc theyre better written just isn’t true?? she has complex relationships with all of them, her dad, her brother, and her school friends. if it’s a matter of having men you can thirst over, you know you can like characters platonically, right??? the shadow and bone show hasn’t even come out yet and people were getting wildly defensive when i said alina was getting much less attention than the darkling. and the irregulars fans love to praise its diversity to pat themselves on the back but i have seen absolutely no one talk about thaddea graham. every single fan page and every single tag on tumblr related to the irregulars is about leo/harrison osterfield. it like....cannot be compared to shows starring white women. with stranger things and the queens gambit came an overwhelming amount of fans for the white actors. and obviously those were much more popular shows and mbb did receive a lot of hate and everything just. idk where i’m going with this but just,,stop pretending this doesn’t happen i guess????? and start supporting actors of colour
