@Kiara_Diane_@helcnsharpe they started right on november 30th last year but that was bc they were filming s3 at the same time. this year they’ll get to start press much earlier like they did for s1
@nothazelevesque like i dont think we need to act like anyone is only focusing on black/white rep for this show when we also have south asian & persian rep in the show. i feel like we could just say we want more representation for x race which is totally valid without bringing black rep into it
there are ways to advocate for more representation without acting like black representation is as much as a default as white representation. i really dont like where this convo seems to stem from
@nothazelevesque also, it feels like an inflation of how much rep we have. for main characters we only have leah tamara and dior, who is also half persian and lived in iran for a lot of her life and is loud ab that but seems to only be seen as black rep. for the gods we have zeus and athena.
the replies under this either resorting to anti blackness towards the 3 black characters we have or flat out disregarding other rep (like clarisse being persian) because that character is black
@tcllajacks@nothazelevesque i totally understand wanting a persian zoe, but dior is half persian and very vocal about it. clarisse is persian rep as much as she is black rep
