Hi! Black lover of sci-fi/horror here , and I think this show is colorist, homophobic, transphobic, anti-Black trash using literary allusions to appear high-brow to pretentious Black cinephiles and lit nerds. The song placements are haphazard ,and the writing is cringe. Chop! https://twitter.com/___d0minique/status/1313517957922861056

Lmaoooo niggas actin like I told them Santa Claus wasn’t real I’m screaming

Lmaooo it’s like telling your little brother wrestling is fake

All the pretentious niggas came running

These are the same people who thought Queen and Slim was amazing I’m sure of it

Colorism: Leti is the brown principle’s love interest (how many more dark skin man light skin woman stories do we neee?), she’s a fan fave early on, juxtaposed against her big dark skin sister who is portrayed as bitter and self hating, montrose dark skin man depicted as the fool

He also is in love w a thin light skin man. Ruby (darkskin l) is subjected to fucking the creepy white racist wants to be white, leti us gifted invulnerability and is deemed the virgin.

Transphobia: only Trans character we see is not really trans in real life and is ultimately violently murdered and assaulted the moment we meet them.

Homophobia: the thoughtless and careless way we are shown the love between Montrose and how his son treats him.

Anti-Black: see above plus what does Emmet Till have to do with anything? Why do we see his murder re-enacted by a racist white woman? Why do we need to see Diana spat on by the cop? Why is she chased by Black evil spirits and not the white girl on Uncle Tom’s Cabin

Y’all got me fucked up
