there’s such a clear pattern in how fandoms treat black female characters. their narratives are met with less empathy, they’re reduced to stereotypes, and what would be seen as depth or complexity in a white character is reframed as something to condemn in black women.
this refusal to grant them softness or nuance is not just fandom behavior, it’s cultural conditioning. even in spaces built around fantasy, people still replicate real-world hierarchies of who deserves love, humanity, forgiveness. it’s crazy to me how to this day only white people get to be seen in full color while everyone else gets flattened
All of these women are treated worse than the antagonists of their fandoms. If a black girl raises her voice in a fantasy or scifi show/game then she’s the devil but if a white lady or white MAN does the exact same thing or worse they’re iconic and complex.
The main conversation was a black woman love interest will be thrown away and sidelined by fans and writers only to turn into “all m/f ships are hetlsop” “yuri vs yaoi” instead of :
Black women are done so dirty in fandom

This isn’t “too woke” it’s common sense
No shade to op
But colorism is a thing and you’re right it’s very creepy how everybody is blonde and pale even ppl in power with a high rank like Lucifer and Charlie
Errr yeah
The girl has just one dark skin character that has an important role
Also if you look at her faves, mostly are white
Also... shes fucking pale white too lol
What were you expecting?
idc if this is too woke but Viv’s obsession with making biblical figures as pale as possible is honestly just really creepy.. like they all just look so sickly and unwell, esp considering there are Normal Looking white people in both shows.
I’m sorry, I just don’t find myself caring about Lute’s breakdown. Especially over someone as cartoonishly one-note as Adam. Maybe if there was a hint of nuance in their relationship before his death. Does she even care about her fellow exorcists that were also killed?
