love how the show was like “no we’re changing the race of the main character to do some deep social commentary instead of the bad dirty racist books!" and then hinges their entire marketing on undermining his narrative, discrediting his story, and making a different race-changed poc into a villain (but for different reasons than he was in the book lmao)

the "who can be trusted with louis' story?" and it's pictures of two white men and an Evil Muslim like. bitch are you actually kidding me.

#THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE ORIGINAL NOVEL WAS A VICTIM OF ABUSE FINDING HIS OWN AGENCY AND RECLAIMING HIS NARRATIVE #HINGING YOUR ENTIRE MARKETING CAMPAIGN ON ~UNRELIABLE NARRATION~ IS A REALLY BAD LOOK WHEN THE NARRATOR IN QUESTION #IS A BLACK MAN WHO IS ALREADY SYSTEMICALLY UNDERMINED AND STRIPPED OF AGENCY #AND ALSO GASLIT AND EMOTIONALLY/PHYSICALLY ABUSED IN ALL OF HIS INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS!!!#WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!!!!!!!!!#IT'S GIVING 'DISCREDIT THE VICTIM' VIBES #PLEASE I KNOW NO ONE HAS A FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELL ON THE WRITING STAFF BUT LIKE. MY GOD.#sorry sorry i'll shut up now. sometimes i just randomly see a piece of marketing for s2 and it sends me into a blind rage #fellas is it gay to lie down with the devil
