I dunno, I’m torn on that front. Because on one hand, they chose to hire actors and actresses who were that were POC so the characters are POC. But on the other hand, it kinda doesn’t count w/in the show universe if they are angels/demons/leviathans/etc. But on the other other hand, you can stick them in an au where they aren’t a non-human so maybe that counts for something?
Idk, I’m probably the wrong person to make any distinctions in this case. But in terms of being able to include them in fanfic and make fanfic more diverse I feel like that’s at least a tiny positive maybe. Because the show does have a shitty track record.
