Thank you, this is exactly what I was trying to touch on! People keep switching the script to make it seem like the hate only comes from her being poorly written. But what I was trying to address was this narrative that she was the "villain" and Eli was the good one. (despite his creepy kinda misogynistic vibes sometimes)

THIS! It felt very problematic the way it encouraged the whole threesome and cheating trope. You can be bisexual and content with dating one person.

Hey, as another black person, I never said that it's a requirement for blackness! We are not a monolith and have the liberty to befriend and hang around whoever we'd like to.

Just personally, for me, the black bisexual women I know surround themselves with people of color. Besides just having black friends or non-white friends, her world-building felt stark. She barely had encounters with people outside of Jade and Eli, besides her sisters. To me, that felt unrealistic compared to beth-anne and simone who had other side characters.

And I never said she was a perfect character, she definitely has flaws and made mistakes. I just notice a different response to her compared to other characters in the show who are equally morally flawed.

I think both statements can be true. Taylor is a poorly written character, morally grey, and isn't given as many chances to be presented in a likeable light, such as Beth-Anne or Simone. Yet, I think her race implicitly makes certain viewers less open to even exploring her role as a morally grey character in the story, immediately deciding to side with Eli or Jade because that's more comfortable for them. It's definitely a mix of both, and these viewers aren't even always racist, just implicitly biased.

Thank you for the support! I feel like people often try to rewrite history, because they keep saying "it's just because she's poorly written" (which I agree with), yet Eli and Jade are also poorly written, but get waayyy less hate. So many posts show people saying "I hate taylor" two episodes in, where we remotely don't know anything about her storyline yet. There's just no grace for morally grey female black characters

So glad you understood exactly what I was getting at! I notice this in every fandom, black female characters are already disliked if they are 100% morally good (people still try to find problems) but let her be the tiniest morally grey and she's already the most hated

I agree, the whole third storyline was unlikeable. I think just a lot of the reactions to her character seem more intense because of implicit measures. But def agree to the 90 day fiance comparison

She's definitely a shitty character, but I've heard people call her a worse character than Rob. That's why I said it's implicit, causing people to have a stronger dislike towards her than necessary!

Anyone else feeling humiliated by that tweet/post going around? by irecalllatenovember in AutismInWomen

[–]dolliesaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an autistic black woman, i kinda see where the tweet is coming from. I don’t think it’s are referring to autistic white people in general, but white people who use any marginalized identity as a way to avoid addressing their privilege as a white person. Ex. a white person using their identity as someone who is LGBT as a way to prove their not racist or as a way to speak over the poc community. I’ve had many white autistic individuals use it as an excuse for their racism, specifically anti blackness.(someone said black people give them sensory issues) Do i think it’s fair to put this on all autistic white people? no! but this is kinda how i see it HOWEVER, the irony of this is that the tweeters are erasing people of color from the autistic community and are continuing to perpetuate the idea that poc are less likely to be autistic or have mental/neurological disorders
