This. It feels like the little mermaid discourse all over again. The movie was bad because it sucked. No because it had a black lead.

I think most of the time people mention gender of cast/runners mainly due to show being directed in a specific way where modern realities are forced and not naturally implemented. As if showrunners are forcing a narrative in a story instead of building it up with a story.

Yes but because so many people got so pent up before the movie released then it gave fuel to that idea. If no one complained about the little mermaid having a black cctor which there is nothing wrong with then criticism could safely be made about the show. But because a bunch of racists got angry about a black woman before they saw it they made any rational criticism seem racist as well
