The way yall are acting about the BoT cast release makes me terrified how you people will act about Fourth Wing. Toxic ass fandoms🫰🏼💔 Also, you can’t Americanize and use AI to create fan casts and wonder why you’re disappointed

It’ll be terrible for Fourth Wing. Idk why but I always pictured Xaden as white with blonde hair. I didn’t find out until book 3 when I looked something up that he was supposed to be like Indian😭😂 And after rereading, based on the description of his cousin I thought the cousin was like mixed half back half white. Idc either way tbh as long as he’s hot but I can see it taking a ton of ppl by surprise unfortunately

Having opinions on casting is always a thing. It doesn’t necessarily mean people are toxic. It means they have opinions. And when you strip fundamental details from characters, people are reasonably going to be bummed. I say this having not read BOT, but the reactions seem to be pretty normal.

No one said you couldn’t have opinions. You’re being dramatic. It is infact toxic to call those casted ugly, pointing out every flaw, etc especially about a series that is here to promote not being a bully. Also, it’s weird to Americanize a series about NON Americans and then to also accept and promote the Use of AI fan casts. Literally one of the most popular Joey fan casts is literally a racist misogynistic man, but because he has blonde hair and an eyebrow slit it’s all okay. Like my god

People are harassing the actors bc they don’t look how they want them to. That sounds toxic to me no one is saying they can’t have an opinion and hate when you mfs make this argument NO ONE SAID THAT.

I have literally only seen people here saying they don’t fit the book descriptions like they expected and that they made a certain character that is curvy in the books—something we don’t get enough rep of in film—much smaller. I’m sure there are some people taking it too far like people do with every single type of media. But not every criticism is toxic in nature. I hate AI to my bones. I was not talking about that. But whatever. No nuance here, huh
