Back in 2013 I posted about
seeing a piece of fanart for the DC Comics character Starfire on Deviantart. I thought the artist made her look African American, and speculated what might happen if someone like Beyoncé was cast in the role. 5 years later a live action TV version of
Teen Titans is on the way, with Anna Diop cast as Starfire. The result? A bunch of
racist dumbasses complaining Starfire isn't black. Well, yeah, but she's an alien. So if you're going to go in that direction no Earth woman should be playing her period. Which would make it damn difficult to have a live action Starfire at all.
