as a black person and a fan of the show, the responses to the she-ra stream are quite frankly embarrassing. like, if you’re in the tag talking about how you feel “betrayed” and “not she-ra too” and this that and the third, you need to get a grip. no group of creators is ever going to be perfect and this hero-worship of tv crews is childish and misguided.
the fact is that the she-ra team is almost entirely white and if you didn’t see it coming that they would eventually say something off-color you’re delusional. the comment about bow’s brother was the kind of tasteless that actual black people would just roll their eyes at, but white fans are turning this into something about how you can never trust anyone even people you thought were #woke. as poc we are aware that you CANNOT expect a white person to never reveal their internalized racism because it is just that, internalized, and the zealots in the tag trying to cancel the crew are only demonstrating fragility. you don’t have to get over it, but you shouldn’t be putting them on a pedestal in the first place, especially over actual creators of color portraying poc’s lived experiences accurately.
