The internets constantly reminds me why I've abandoned fandom: it's become toxic. Do these characters look like I imagined them? No. Do I care? No. Their skin color, eye color, hair color, nail color, is completely non relevant to the character. COMPLETELY. NON. RELEVANT.
But it's literally all anyone blabs about. For fucks sake. I don't care.
You know what I care about? Hoping the women don't constantly pull their braids and smooth their skirts.
You don't care and that's fine. Unless I am wrong, this is a comment section and people are free to have views that differ from yours.
I happen to be a black man. But like many black people, I hate pandering. There is no way one can honestly read about all the TR folks blushing (Nynaeve like two suns) and argure that they are anything darker than what we call racially ambiguous.
It's OK not to care about faithfulness to the source material, but some of us are nerdy enough to want faithfulness. Have your view and allow us ours. We can coexist.
