tired of being reduced to a fetish
as a mixed women, so tired of the mixed/lightskin & white duo. feels performative to me. i have had so many white bisexual women hyper-sexualize me immediately and dont get me started on the love bombing. sometime i wonder if this prominent trope makes them feel as though them + me would be palatable for others. idk maybe im overthinking!!
that being said, if anyone knows good shows with double poc or dark skin wlw relationships, pleaseeee recommend some good ones before i shit a brick
edit: thanks everyone for the recommendations and commenting your experiences as well! i was so desperate, i started watching 911 for hen and karen lol. i hope non-pocs dont take offense to this! i blame society. i believe mixed women are used in media bc of our proximity to whiteness while still allowing these shows to seem inclusive. for example, the lack of dark skin women in euphoria!
edit 2: for the mixed women messaging me about how offensive this is. ask yourself why its offensive to want dark skins/other dark poc women to also be represented in mainstream media. you guys messaging your experiences with racism doesn’t take away from the fact the we can benefit from colorism and its a systemic issue. i’ll link multiple articles below, quit messaging me
