the promotional stuff, when the series first came out, wasn't always so flattering, though.

Yeah, that initial shot of her made it look like she wouldn't look out of place on the Vegas strip if you know what I mean.

To be fair, she IS supposed to be orange. That said, it's a show right? Not a movie? I imagine making her orange would be quite expensive to make her look right. So leaving the actress with her natural skin colour is fine. I suppose if they can find a hot orange lady who can act then that would be preferable but I'm not aware of any such actress.

Of course there's going to be chuds who disagree with that assessment but fuck them.

dumb post - Starfire isn't any human race, so having a black actress play her wouldn't be comparable to something like that.

Yeah, it's pretty clear what their actual problem is. Beast Boy isn't green for the exact same reason (too expensive to keep him green in every episode), but Starfire got waaay more backlash. Fucking chuds.

Hm... Don't have you tagged yet. I think it's safe to assume what kind of stance you have after a post like this though >_>

How? She's absolutely gorgeous in that picture. Edit: Oh the teeth? I didn't even notice that. Teeth are like that last thing I focus on for a woman's face. No, she doesn't have buck teeth, but now that it's been pointed out, she does open her mouth slightly, like that in a lot of her pictures.

Team Titans was a bit after my time, but Starfire was fine, and I wouldn't be opposed to her being black or just generally dark skinned, so long as the actress did a good job.

And, as naive as it might be, I'd like to think MOST PEOPLE would probably agree.

Most people are fine. But the racists scream the loudest. When the show first started, Anna Dior (Starfire) was being bombarded by racist comments to the point that she had to disable comments on all of her socials to get it to stop.

This isn't necessarily meaningful - as Internet comments are entirely unfiltered, by deault lol, but yeah, i'm not surprised at all that random Internet comments are hateful and stupid af.

You underestimate the cost. Look at She Hulk, without having the budget of a MCU movie they struggled to make She Hulk look decent. Instead she looked too smooth, kinda cartoonish.

Well then just to point out I woulda been disappointed too had it been a pale white chick. Only difference being I woulda been more disappointed cause they coulda gave her the ol Donald Trump spray tan treatment

I was disappointed beast boy wasn't green too.
