#on how to ruin established source material with shitty adaptations 🙃

[bohemian-nights]

another one of my issues with the whole michaela twist besides the lack of consideration for intense misogynoir that they’re forcing masali to experience, is that the season is YEARSSSS away. so we have to wait for a black female lead that’s so far removed from right now? so now we can’t ask for a darkskinned black female lead because we’ve already been promised one for a season that might not happen, who knows what the future of the show will be? also the book is going to shape shift so much already and i don’t trust jess one bit to be able to handle that. changing the gender changes a lot, and fine, whatever, but she is not capable of writing anything decent so.

Yep. She’s basically meant to silence us. While everybody else gets their rep and happily ever afters we have to wait until 2030 for a glorified stereotype who chases after a white woman married to her cousin(probably going to make her sex crazed too and call it “empowering”) whose “happily ever after” will consist of living in hiding with said white woman.

That’s supposed to be our representation, but you know we are jealous greedy bigots for pointing out the obvious….
