I don’t care what side you’re on but we all should be questioning why the TVL writers room with no Black people felt comfortable calling a Black man Kentucky fried chicken, a slave and nappy headed. Truly no excuse and disgusting. Jacob and Delainey deserve better
Yall so badly want race not to matter in a show that INTENTIONALLY made Louis and Claudia Black during the Jim Crow south. The SHOW made it important and Yall mad at fans for calling out INTENTIONAL writing choices from non Black writers.
I will still be giving support to Jacob, Sam, Assad, Shelia and other cast members outside of the show but I’m not posting scenes/pictures from the show from this point on including the after dark show they have going on right now
Due to the misogynistic and racist anti-black writing, i will no longer be posting about IWTV/TVL on this account. I cannot in good conscious give any more promotion while they continuously disrespect not only black actors but also their characters.
the only way I’d even think about touching it again is if there’s a huge change in writers and the team generally. Even then I don’t know how you come back from this, I don’t trust them with qotd either if this is how it’s going
I don’t blame people for dropping the show when these are the producers, writers and songwriters who sat in a room for a year and collectively came up with louisiana fried chicken, slave, a deragatory term for a black character’s hair, rag doll, mengele and cancerous jackal
wondering if all the nonblack journalists who were like "you need to be patient!! let them cook!! it gets so good later!!" to defend tvl from criticism are gonna double down or switch up now that they realized the antiblackness they were ok with isn't going over well with viewers
