i hate this so much i am black and it is not only shitty and boring but also exhausting as if all black folks act like that and all that cliches 🙄

[@Des_.]

It's the fact that there were LITERALLY only 2 people in the show who weren't White. The Black girl (who is disrespected so much but chases after the edgy main character) and the gay Black guy who turns into an ass halfway through the show. LET'S NOT GIVE AISHA A LOVE INTREST LIKE WE DID TO EVERYONE ELSE. Bloom, Musa, Stella, Dane, idk about Terra but even BEATRICE got romance. Apparently the show acts like nobody loves Terra cause she's overweight, so I'll just run with that.🙄 But Aisha? Once she's done being the voice of reasoning and motherly affection, when will she be given a chance to get her own proper story development?

[@eggmon420]

In the original show, bloom always wore blue to make her red hair stand out. Bloom wearing red for every. goddamn. occasion. in this show honestly drowns out the fierceness and boldness of her red hair.

[@cb8044]

Sherliza, the term that you're looking for in the "motherly black woman" is called the mammy stereotype or mamification! You'll notice that a lot of times black woman, like bigger black woman who do domestic tasks are often seen as really sweet women who care greatly about those they take care of. That originates from post slavery times when black maids were often made to take care of white babies. The stereotype unfortunately still circulates media today as evident here and honestly I didn't know because I didn't watch it and now I really don't even want to give it a try :T

Ig they were trying to mix it up but the actress playing musa is white passing and I don’t mean this to be offensive and I understand this as I am also mixed but I have very mixed feelings as I would love to see more mixed characters in shows but why change completely our childhood show- it was a very risky move and clearly didn’t move and wtf is with flora’s casting??

[@laurimarbaez6314]

Ik this is late af but YES! Absolutely! I’m also latina and having discovered Winx when I was younger, I was immediately obsessed with Flora. Cause it was genuinely so nice and refreshing to see a latina coded character be portrayed as sweet, calm, and soft spoken. Especially cause her more shy nature is something I related to as a kid (still do ngl) I feel like this is especially a big deal cause this was a show that came out in the 2000s, an era that when we look back at it now, doesn’t have the best track record of having good poc rep in its media. But for winx, for the time being, I think they did a pretty good job at having a latina-coded character in Flora by not portraying her as a stereotypical spicy latina.

Also can we stop making women like Stella who are outgoing and bubbly and talkative the “mean girl”. Stella had her issues and bratty moments, but she was overall a GOOD PERSON.

Netflix thinks taking a nostalgic piece that was already meaningful by turning it into another riverdale and whitewashing it as their way of “representing” is gonna make anyone appeal to these shows. Winx club had fashion that’s iconic even to this day, representation for all races, and dark topics that didn’t need to be over-exaggerated as teenage or social problems for views. As an androgynous black girl the clothing in the remake absolutely sucks, and makes them look more like thirty year old soccer moms. Layla was my favorite and they ruined her entirely along with other POC characters by either removing them or turning them white. Netflix fails to understand what made these shows special already, and that’s why I hope this greedy company never touches Avatar The Last Airbender by turning it their version of “DARK” also. This mess is only to find a reason to sexualize teenagers and children by maturing them in these remakes from the original source. Shows like Winx club taught me it’s okay to be in touch with my feminine side, and there’s nothing wrong dressing myself in things that are considered “girly”. The show was already empowering and didn’t need this dark academia mess. They took all the teenager stereotypes and recycled it as another plot 🤦🏽‍♀️

As an italian, I feel very proud of (the cartoon) winx club and at the same time I feel offended by what Netflix has done 😭

Totally agree with your opinions on the casting! Like, the show Siren cast so many beautiful people as the mermaids, and the makeup, styling and the contacts they gave them really gave them an otherworldy vibe. You could tell the mermaids from the humans RIGHT AWAY. I don't get why they didn't do something similar with Fate.
