Fandom-brained white women truly don't view black female characters as female at all and extend that to black adaptions of them.They NEVER give black actresses a chance,they always jump to harrasment because they think blackness is stripping them of girlhood and inherently makes them unrelatable to them at the same time they get mad at black girl geeks for not relating to white girls as much as we do our characters and cry about how 'their childhood is ruined' as they don't care about the improvement and validation it gives to black women who grew up on literally the same shit because they think we don't,aren't,can't be female and it's not even just transmisogynoir because the most cis black women of all times get called tomboys and even 'manly'.Fuck's sake man,i'm literally a black trans man because i'm afab and bigender/genderfluid but fem presenting to the max and that includes that not only do i not want t or surgeries but actually find the thought of them actively distressing because it's defeminization and masculinization
Black women are women.Black female characters are female characters.Black women know the female experience as much as white women do,if not BETTER.Colonisadoras shut the fuck up and go back to talking to your racist ass cis white boyfriends.And to everyone who cyberbullies black actresses for playing childhood roles but most of all Leah Jefferies,i have two words for you:Drop and Dead.You've earned it after being abusive and borderline fascistic pieces of shit

McGee had told me that she loved teen shows but often found the characters unrealistic. “The girls were always like the hot person the funny boys fancied. Or they were always sensible, like, ‘Oh, you shouldn’t do this,’ ” she said. She mentioned the character (...) “Like, she was playing the loser, and she’s the coolest, best-looking person I’ve ever seen.” McGee couldn’t relate. “My friends were the most ridiculous,” she said.
“I really like teenagers, and they’re often not well written, particularly in drama. They’re either treated like mini-adults, and it’s weird and sexual, or they’re not treated with the respect they deserve.”

happy Saturday heres what the Derry girls would do if they woke up in a saw trap
erin: not a chance of surviving. like shed think she could outsmart jigsaw easily but let's be honest she would bite it fucking instantly.
michelle: 'what the fuck is this? is this an orgy? is this how orgies start? listen, theres stuff I'm into, like theres a LOT of stuff I'm into, but this is-" trap goes off and she bites it
clare: panics and screams but does manage to escape somehow
james: not a chance of escaping that shit and he knows it
orla: completes the trap and absolutely loves every minute of it. goes home and tells her mammy about the absolutely class escape room shes found. they both do their best to get kidnapped by jigsaw at least once a fortnight. jigsaw lives in fear of them.
granda: "yer stupid prick of a husband has got me stuck in yon saw trap mary!"
sister michael: is jigsaw

in season 3's prom episode of derry girls, it was clear that the dynamics between the mothers when they were in high school were replicated in the next generation too. The four women attended the prom with Diedre's cousin accompanying her (and then all of them). So we have four girls and a male cousin of one of them which is just like the Derry girls' situation. And Rob was openly gay. Doesn't this hint at James being gay/queer too ?
