Yeah but part of what happens is that there are tons of people who just don't like the show and then pretty quickly everybody that doesn't like the show is a racist by implication.
And of course that is the typical company response. Negative reviews, well its all political and racism.
But the reality is that there are also people who don't like some of the race choice in 'House of the Dragon' and that property is as big as Lord of the Rings, and yet those racist don't manage to motivate lots and lots of people to write reviews.
So when you make a good show racists are a small minority, when you have a bad show then all of a sudden all the criticism is because of racism.

- ineedasername 4y agoHouse of Dragons doesn’t give reviewers with racist motivations any rhetorical leverage. They can’t hide behind arguments that it doesn’t conform to source or canon or anything like that because the original author is leading the creative process.
- panick21_ 4y agothe original text clearly states that some of the people that are black in the show are white. It doesn't matter that the author is involved, if you are a racist why do you care that the author has been bought to conform to 'the message'.
