Finished Tiny Pretty Things and I was extremely disappointed.
What is up with writers adding rape into a show like it’s spice and not addressing it? This is the second show I’ve watched that did that.
And Shane sounding so predatory by saying that Oren liked it, shoving his hands in his pants after he Oren said he wanted to stop like wtf?!
Tf is wrong with people! And ofc they make their gay rep a rapist 🤮 so many stereotypes
They promoted the show as Neveah being the female lead who was defying things. Damn near every clip was of her dancing. Then what actually happens is they give her all these stereotypes, pushes her whole storyline to the side, and she barely dances...
This reminds me of what John Boyega had said about promoting black people as important but then not treating them as such in the actual storylines.
They did gave her the regular backstory, you know the trauma porn that they love giving black characters. They don’t even wrap up her storyline with her family. They just disappear.
I wanted to see her perform and become the best but all we get is an angry mammy.
Did the white writers really think that would resonate with black viewers? Or was their goal to enforce stereotypes for non black people?
Do they think the only life black people can live is one without their parents and can only get things because white people need a sob story? It was giving Dance monkey dance.
Then Neveah and Oren being pushed together with no build up? Seriously? They really did not give a fuck about her character. The actors had great chemistry, which honestly saved them for me, but they didn’t write for them.
Stop. Just stop. Writers please! Stop!
All the adults were predators.
I’m happy that Caleb’s relationship with DuBois was addressed. Her saying that Caleb would hate her for doing what she did, regardless if he consented. I’m happy about this because often times this side of the story isn’t told. The story of children looking back on a relationship that they thought they wanted only to realize that the adult had manipulated them.
But then why tf are we supposed to shipping Shane and Dev? I like them together I do. But at the same time, I’m creeped out because Dev is a aware that Shane is a teenager. It’s weird! He is a pedophile!!!
The fact that Nabil doesn’t get an apology from Caleb after all the bs he put him through because of his religion, but they’re “besties” now 🤮
The shit that’s just brushed under the rug in this show.
They made sure Shane got his apology from Matteo, but not one for Nabil??
You could tell the writers favored Bette & Cassie which was disgusting because they spent the entire promotion portraying Neveah as the focus.
Out of all the characters the girl in the damn coma and another one, who wasn’t the female lead, had the fleshed out story’s 🙄
They didn’t give a fuck about June’s half assed relationship with Nabil or Neveah and Oren’s, but gave Bette and Matteo so much writing???
They wrote more for Shane and Oren, Bette and Oren, Bette and Ramon, Ramon and Delia more than they did for the WOC. It’s fucked!
They did give June a good backstory, but of course she was constantly at Bette’s side because she’s just a Angel 😇 (not serious) and criminalized the black woman who had June’s back. So fucked.
Then the forced relationship between Bette, June and Neveah. No one ever apologized to Neveah she just forgave everyone and wanted to solve all their problems like the good Mammy she is 🙄
Also Neveah going to visit Cassie???? That didn’t even make any sense. They didn’t know about each other yet she was dreaming of her before she met her???? Gotta squeeze the white girl’s storylines in. Forgo how much sense it makes for the black lead. Who cares about her character? Am I right? :)))
Then also having Nabil worship Cassie who didn’t even treat him right 🤮🤮
I’m saying all these things because I want better. This show really fucked over Neveah.
And shown extreme amount of White Favoritism the entire time.
Constantly, showing the white characters as saints and all the awful shit they do is address for two seconds with no repercussions and not writing for the black woman other than when she’s saving the white characters.
I hope they learn from this and do better. I want a season 2 for Neveah so they can write for her.
