Over the last few years I've seen lots of bigoted mobs go after casts and creators. Ghostbusters, She-Ra, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Captain Marvel, I could go on. If you think what went down with Charmed is different and acceptable because it's one of your favs, you're a hypocrite.
Lots of racist, homophobic and anti-feminist bile... not to mention the fact that the one straight white guy in the cast was the only lead actor not to get a barrage of hate. It wasn't different, you just really wanted it to be.
They went after Madeleine, Melonie, Sarah, Ser'Darius. Not that I wanted Rupert to get hate, but it sure is interesting how they seemed to almost completely leave him out of it. Can't imagine why that would be.
Oh and not forgetting how they started a whole campaign to get the one dark skinned actor fired. No, no, it was all perfectly innocent and acceptable.
