okay so like speaking as not someone who is a part of the fandom at all i feel like this might be a double edged sword? the source material alienated me as a child and i never got deeply into it, but i remember even like reading cho chang i was a little excited at her existence (i'm east/southeast asian) and then eventually was like what the fuck because ???
so it's like either: 1. she straight up failed to give her canon poc a full storyline like they deserved, so no one wants to glorify that 2. you glorify her poc characters only because they're poc characters and not because they're particularly strong characters you want to support and then she gets the credit for including poc
i just feel like it would bother me either way, but again not part of the fandom so i really don't see any of this on a regular basis
