People are actively encouraging hate towards Moses Ingram under the guise of “fair criticism.”
People are insulting how she chose to wear her hair natural, they’re calling her “a diversity hire.” They’re all ranting about how she’s “stealing the show from Obi Wan,” when Obi Wan is still the focus of the show. People are hating on her for her natural hair. I’ve seen them insulting her for her “nappy hair.”
Let’s be real, if Reva was a white man, she’d be universally loved. People hating her for “being angry,” would call Reva badass if she was a white man. Her ambition would be praised, and so would her attitude. But no, Reva is a black woman, and these so-called “fans” hate her for it.
Moses Ingram opened up about how she was apprehensive because she knew Star Wars fans might harass her because of her race and gender (and, if you look at the fan response to her character, she was literally right), and y'know how these fans reacted?
My sympathies to Moses Ingram, she really risked it all for this role, only to be met with such disgusting behavior. I really hope she’s okay, and I hope that you’ll all show her support, because she doesn’t deserve this.
