sometimes i reread the series and it becomes clear that shannon did not hire a sensitivity reader
#not that i don’t love the series still#butsome of the writing choices are incredibly ignorant and weren’t caught because she is a white woman#and mostly works with other white women because the publishing industry is not very diverse#but come ON shannon why are almost all of the poc parents bad parents#we know abt the song twins being the stereotypical asian parents but also#the aria parents ditched their kid and ran. prentice who is the only black father was absent for wylie’s childhood#(not counting maruca’s parents as a poc win bc even though maruca seems to have had a good childhood her parents haven’t had a line)#and the only divorced characters are black. which would be fine if the other black characters werent either minor characters or prentice#and also the fact that the council has a lot of poc but the ‘good’ councillors are white.#as much as i love the series it’s clear that there wasn’t a lot of thought put into the writing of the poc which rlly fucking sucks#shannon pleade talk to poc….#kotlc#kotlc crit
