TW - Racism & SheRa Panel
(THREAD)
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
Growing up, I was raised in a sheltered environment. I didn't know about Racism and how it still existed. I remember hearing the "N"
Word. We all know what it is. At the time, I didn't know what it meant.
I remember calling my friends the "N" word. It was after I used the "N" word on the social media platform "Amino" did I find out it was a racial slur. When I realised, I was horrified and disgusted with myself and I still am to this day.
I was misinformed and uneducated at the time. I would never ever use that word again. But here's the point I'm trying to make.
Noelle Stevenson, creator of SheRa and the Princesses if Power. Was part of a live panel with some crew members and the host of the stream. Unfortunately, a lot of words were said that should not have been. One of which is what we are talking about.
Noelle brought up that her and the crew had this "Inside Joke" about Bows brother. In the show, it is stated that Bow is the youngest of 17. Noelle said that Bow had a brother named 'Sow' and that sow would sow the fields.

The fandom took offense to this. Mainly because it seemed like a racist joke. I'm not sure how to word this. But the point is, when I was constantly saying the "N" word, I had no idea what it meant. I'm not saying that Noelle didn't know what the inside joke meant.
I plainly believe she didn't acknowledge that it was racist ir offensive. I tried hard to make this tweet sound serious and tried my best to word it carefully. I'm not best at public speech.
But the fandom is falling apart and Noelle has already been canceled..? I'm not defending Noelle about everything, but she just made a mistake. I make plenty mistakes, everyone makes a lot of mistakes everyday.
We all know this. So why are we acting like Noelle has to be perfect? She apologized, but I understand things are still hot and need time to cool down before people can start to forgive. Maybe things will calm down by tommrow? Are we really going to cancel
SheRa after all this time just because of mistakes the crew made?
