#adding onto that last reblog i just feel like#there's this sentiment of like. well brown people/queer people exist in this media they're there you should be happy about it#and sometimes i've caught myself there like just being included means something bc we have not been for so long#but i'm so tired of scraps tbh#i want these characters written by brown/queer people i want good stories#i want characters that resonate not characters that exist to check off some diversity box#and so many just do that#like for example the pll reboot was so..... all this talk about it being diverse and whatever#and i found it so disappointing bc the characters were not handled well at all imo#the og was incredibly white but the crafting of characters felt a lot more thoughtful#a lot of changes were made to the characters from the books and they worked for the most part#but lately so many teen shows are like. here are your queer/poc characters#they're not written well and it is clear no poc/qpoc were in the writing room but they exist so shut up and be happy about it#and it's so sad and i feel so bad for poc/qpoc teenagers bc they should not have to settle for that#they deserve so much more#and it isn't even that better doesn't exist#but huge media corporations don't want to take chances on them or support them we see it happen time and again#and it's just. it's exhausting
