#it's an ensemble cast and a budget crunched season so everyone is getting a bit less but like. you'd think the crew had quit 🙄

Why do Izzy haters keep saying Izzy's arc came "at the expense of characters of color" when it's so intrinsically tied up in the crew's union building arc of the season where Frenchie, Oluwande, and Jim have taken major roles in leadership? Since when is Frenchie white??? Not to mention Fang got to have one of the most significant emotional beats with Edward?

Buttons and the Swede have been mostly offscreened, and Roach and Wee John are probably still on the lowest tier of side character development - about where they were last season (somebody has to be, and Roach is getting a lot of good little moments inventing stuff). If anyone else has become less significant I'd say it's Lucius and Black Pete (who aren't really driving Stede's story as much)?

Maybe if they spent less time focusing on how much they want all their fave crew members to hate Izzy they could enjoy them all doing character stuff that is not that?
