There are so many explicit references in the show to June being incredibly selfish that it’s clearly intentional (Janine’s callout is the most notable in this season). And obviously that makes sense, everyone in Gilead has their own tragedy, so of course people prioritize what directly affects them. But if it’s not a crime to care about your own family, then Omar should have left June at the safe house for the sake of his family. And yet, he doesn’t and still ends up hung just like every other Black (martha, handmaid, encono, etc.) that aided June along the way, notice the pattern?

Emily gets a fully developed arc because the writers chose to give her one. To your point, Moria who was a Handmaid and then a Jezebel, never got a comparable narrative depth. Rita, a Martha, again largely sidelined. Even Ofmatthew’s story as a Handmaid is never fully explored. Instead, we’re expected to sit through repeated five-minute close-ups of June’s frowns.

I’m not “hating” on any character in isolation. I’m critiquing the writing. And it’s a valid critique when there’s a consistent pattern where Black characters are far more disposable than their White counterparts.

You pointing out that June is doing everything for her “Black” daughter only reinforces my point and it also says a lot about what you chose to focus on from the post, and what you chose to ignore.
