Why are we calling good casting and costume design “racebending”? Have we conceded to the rightwing lunatics? “Racebending” seems like a label that is only bad for us and fits into all the wrong narrative

Yes! The new Louis is amazing 👏 he has so much more depth, interesting, and his motivations are so much more believable. Plus why would we wanna sympathize with a rich white man, who participates in chattel slavery in 2024 🤮

It’s still a mixed bag for me as a POC. I wish to see more original characters with their own stories from people of their ethnicity. Not a fan of seeing more hand me down characters and call it “representation”
