Arcane needed more POCs on the writing team. My own MOTHER clocked them by saying βwhy the MOST evil characters Black or Poc?β And sheβs right. Sheβs rightβ¦
A black woman being the βtester cakeβ relationship before the white love interest who was there all along and is the βtrue loveβ of the black women's former partnerβ¦ thats literally the trope.
iβm a little confused because that doesnβt make mel disposable. it means she was in a relationship, and now she is no longer in it. a breakup does not change what their relationship was, and it does not make her disposable.
but maybe lmk your thoughts on it
Itβs not just Asian media. White queers canβt look at popular POC stories without trying to make the story primarily queer (as though that adds all depth) because they canβt fathom intersectionality/the importance of representation that doesnβt center them
i like kpop demon hunters but im convinced some of yall quite literally CANNOT engage in asian related/based media and discourse without having to make it solely about queerness
i think those readings are interesting and valid but im sideeyeing you if that's ALL you got out of it
