Yeah, I never got it. My city has a place called “Black Boy Hill” where I’m pretty sure they used to sell underage black slaves. How can that world and a Victorian/Regency era England colorblind fantasy coexist? How do the girlies suspend their disbelief enough to watch Bridgerton ?
Personally, I hate it when Western media made specifically about the West/fantasy West casts people from, idk, Nigeria and Nepal. The Rings of Power (I didn’t watch it, I value my time, but I’ve seen enough Space Ice parodies to know what it looks like) is one of those for example. It’s fantasy WW2, it’s Western infighting, it should have Europeans in it and that’s it (I’m not white for the record, I’m just not insane). I think there’s a black female dwarf? What the hell is going on?!
