I never ONCE had a thought along the lines of: “why don’t my heroes look like me?” Because all of the strong characters that I got to look up to were, quite overwhelmingly, white. But I’ve got 2 baby brothers now who are black, so you better fucking BELIEVE that I’m gonna fight and kick and scream until they have role models to look up to like I did! And THAT is why I freak out over John Boyega and Chadwick Boseman so much. Those guys are gonna be who my lil brothers get to look up to. But it doesn’t end there. We need MORE!
So give me Black James Bond
Bring me Latino Indiana Jones
Fill my screens with Asian Aragorns
Cuz I’m not shutting up until POC kids can look up to their heroes the same way I had the privilege to.
let your child be goofy and silly and make messes. teach them to clean up the messes without yelling at them. let your child be a child. not a mini adult who has to be perfect 24/7
I know nothing about this character/the show she is from, but from what I can see, she is a female person of color with awesome hair, who appears educated/well read, and is wielding a giant pink sword.
