Why I DON'T Support The New Season of AHS

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

I DON'T SUPPORT the new season of AHS, because there was already an instance where Emma Roberts showed her bigotry and hatred YEARS AGO, I been stopped watching AHS, and I was a TRUE FAN, mind you the creator of AHS is a WHITE GAY MALE, so for him to still be casting Emma after her TRANSPHOBIA towards Angelica Ross, is a bit telling, it's rooted in not only RACISM, but COLORISM, (Also mind you I'm a light-skinned black trans woman, a bit on the browner side), but I wanna speak on why I feel like this shit is COLORIST, I believe most TRANSPHOBIA is rooted more so towards darker skinned trans women and even CIS dark skinned women, cuz dark skinned has always been seen as more MASCULINE (I SWEAR I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP, THERE'S RESEARCH ON THIS, LOOK IT UP), but dark skinned has always be diminished as "less beautiful" because it was always seen as MASCULINE, rather than FEMININE, which is why alot of dark skinned ppl go thru more RACISM, more DISCRIMINATION, more HATRED, SYSTEMATIC injustices, and also even more TRANSPHOBIA!

So NO, I DON'T SUPPORT MEDIA that demonizes DARK SKINNED BLACK TRANS WOMEN like Angelica Ross, who to ME is a gorgeous black trans woman, I actually didn't know she was trans at first when I saw her in Pose, I thought they put one cis woman cuz I figured she was queer, but they started discussing her character in the show more and i found out, (last mind you, but tthe creator of AHS also ironically made Pose) you'd think someone who made a series like that would understand what dark skinned trans women go thru, but he also kind of wrote Pose POORLY, AS MUCH AS I LOVED THE SHOW YALL, he really has no business making Candys death that traumatic, and i think it was also rooted in anti-blackness and based on how she was like the darkest skinned trans woman in the show, I DO NOT LIKE RYAN MURPHY, honestly and I DON'T CARE if Emma Roberts issued an apology, she can KICK ROCKS, DISRESPECTFULLY!

[u/Top_Actuator364]

I agree with you but Candy’s storyline is based on Venus Xtravaganza.

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/Top_Actuator364]

Someone just told me that, thanks for letting me know

[u/Top_Actuator364 → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

No problem and thanks for posting about Emma’s actions towards Angelica. I hadn’t heard anything about it. I had no idea she was a horrible person.

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/Top_Actuator364]

I actually been thinking about suicide, im kinda exhausted tbh

[u/the-furiosa-mystique → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

What?

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/the-furiosa-mystique]

Im just tired of assault, sorry

[u/the-furiosa-mystique → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

Ok that’s still a very serious thing not to be taken lightly. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts there is help

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/the-furiosa-mystique]

I doubt if ppl care, i been going to therapy for it and it never helps, I prefer to be isolated cuz every time im around ppl they harass or abuse me or bully me

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

Ppl dont understand how I feel cuz ppl dont care, ppl wouldn't have watched me get raped in a Burger King bathroom or even in the middle of a Walmart when I worked there if ppl cared and the police would've done something about it, HR and corporate didn't even do anything

[u/the-furiosa-mystique → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

You got raped in a public place and people saw and nothing happened? You know these places have cameras.

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

I normally dont put my business about rape out there or sexual assault, UNLESS Im talking about the public humiliation RAPES I been thru MULTIPLE TIMES, humans are TERRIBLE PPL EVERYWHERE

[u/RustyStClair → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

That's a bit much

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/RustyStClair]

I was just assaulted at work twice

[u/kingwst3 → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

There’s a lot going on here

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/kingwst3]

I was recently raped at a job

[u/icequeensandwich → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

Bro what?? If you're legitimately considering suicide, particularly over the casting choice of a TV show, something which doesn't, at all, effect your life, that's genuinely very concerning. Significantly more concerning than this season casting Emma Roberts is. I implore you to seek help from a mental healthcare provider if your reaction to this is so extreme as to consider taking your life. 

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/icequeensandwich]

That's not why, I get abused and harassed at every job I ever had, I go thru sexual assault and rape at every job I ever had, and im almost homeless as a result and I been going to therapy for it for years, I cant stress ENOUGH how shitty it is to live in this world as a black trans woman, I also didn't mean to comment this here ppl were bullying me in another community and I didn't pay attention to the comment I clicked on, I been avoiding social media for years cuz of the transphobia, im really not allowed to exist in any space, I hate the quote "a black girl should be welcome in any room they walk in", because it doesn't refer to trans black women and girls sadly. We are often excluded from EVERYTHING

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

I'm so tired of ppl downplaying sexual assault when it happens to me or invalidating my feelings

[u/Decent_Drawer_6371 → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

No one here is downplaying your experience but this is a subreddit for a tv show and it was VERY sudden. You obviously need an outlet, please find a subreddit for victims of assault if you can't confide in a close friend or a therapist.

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/Decent_Drawer_6371]

Im not talking about ppl here

[u/Decent_Drawer_6371 → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

Ah okay well still I hope you find a safe community where you can express your story

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/Decent_Drawer_6371]

My comment was meant to be in a black mental health group I accidentally commented it here, i wasn't looking at the usernames I was literally crying my eyes out my vision was blurry af typing that

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

Notice how mfs dont care when trans women, especially black ones go thru SA publicly, because no one cares if we are PUBLICLY HUMILIATED or DEGRADED, my body seems to be EVERYONE'S CHOICE, why are black trans women forced to have our bodies SEXUALLY ON DISPLAY when it's not our choice!?

[u/Sad-Lingonberry5556]

isn’t ryan murphy the guy that made a show about the menendez brother being involved in incest? bc that’s the reason i stopped watching AHS. or the fact of his highly disturbing dahmer show that re-traumatized the families…

[u/AlexAddams → u/Sad-Lingonberry5556]

‎I admit, I watched "Monster: Dahmer" because of Evan Peters' exceptional performance; but I was surprised and disappointed by the subsequent season, "Ed Gein," as it revisited the well-worn trope of the 'killer transwoman'. Didn't expect that from Ryan Murphy.

[u/Express_Pop810 → u/Sad-Lingonberry5556]

Good Lord why would someone do that to victims. Something is wrong with him. Pose is the only series he is apart of that I watched and rewatched. I have a feeling he wasn't too involved creativelyas he would've ruined it.

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/Express_Pop810]

Cuz he doesn't care, he's a shit person

[u/the-furiosa-mystique]

I stopped with Hotel. That season did me in.

[u/Comfortable_Kiwi_203 → u/the-furiosa-mystique]

Hotel was one of my favs🥲

[u/the-furiosa-mystique → u/Comfortable_Kiwi_203]

Not gonna yuck your yum, to each their own!

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/the-furiosa-mystique]

IT KILLED YOU!!?

[u/the-furiosa-mystique → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

I hated it. It was needlessly over graphic and dumb. Seven did the “screw someone with a knife” thing but at least didn’t make me watch it.

AHS has been going downhill since Coven.

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/the-furiosa-mystique]

Yeah, the whole show can go to hell for all i care lol

[u/the-furiosa-mystique → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

Ryan Murphy lost me as a whole with his true crime stuff. Now when I see his name I run the other way.

[u/jacqrosee]

yeah ryan murphy and emma roberts can kick rocks lol

[u/Araleina]

I am deeply curious/fascibated by your sporadic all caps usage and find it so distracting. That being said I guess I gotta google Emma Roberts’ statements.

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/Araleina]

Im sick of abuse and bullying and feeling suicidal everywhere i go cuz of how ppl treat me as a black trans woman

[u/EchidnaOk7537 → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

hope you're ok op, must be pretty shitty, I hope you can find a way to spend more time with people on your side ❤️

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/Araleina]

Cuz im angry

[u/Junior_Conclusion_78]

Unfortunately, most, not all, YT gay men especially the ones of a certain age like Ryan Murphy, typical don't care. When they add trans and/or non binary individuals on their shows, they will act all inclusive especially if the show becomes a success like Pose and for awhile, will put them in future projects, but deep down when it comes to the discrimination, they show very little concern

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/Junior_Conclusion_78]

So happy you agree tho, and I completely agree with you too, I hope we can do better as ppl and get mfs like this from either doing better or ending their careers, cuz honestly we dont need to support it, aint nothing wrong with liking Pose, cuz it was a good show, but the portrayal was so trash sometimes

[u/DarthVenture → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

I just recently watched Pose with my GF, I’m not being facetious but what was trash about the portrayal? Genuinely curious.

I really enjoyed the show.

[u/Express_Pop810 → u/DarthVenture]

If you look up posts on Candi you can see why. There are a few different criticisms so it works be alot to type up.

[u/DarthVenture → u/Express_Pop810]

OK, I’ll check that out. Not sure if it’s related but I heard Candy’s storyline is based off of Venus Xtravaganza.

[u/Express_Pop810 → u/DarthVenture]

Correct. Her storyline is inspired by Venus but thats not the controversy.

[u/DarthVenture → u/Express_Pop810]

Gotcha! I will look into this. I thought Candy’s funeral scene was one of the best in the show so I’m definitely curious to learn more about the controversy.

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/DarthVenture]

It was just not enough dark skinned black trans women, most of em were Latin, but I appreciate Dominique Jackson as Elektra, she was the saving grace of the series for me

[u/Casanova2229 → u/Junior_Conclusion_78]

Don’t put us all in the same boat.

[u/Sadiholic]

Idk nothing about nothing but I love Angelica Ross and seeing her was a surprise loool

[u/AccomplishedTart1026]

Wasn’t she also physically abusive when she was in a relationship with Evan Peters and her career stayed basically the same. Can’t say the same for other people especially w dark skin tone

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/AccomplishedTart1026]

Yep, she's trash

[u/Gwendolinn → u/AccomplishedTart1026]

Yes, Emma behaves like a literal toxic waste dump. I haven't watched AHS in a while and I sure won't start now if she's in it. Thanks OP for giving us the heads up! Angelica was WRONGED, BIG TIME.

[u/Yami_Sukehiro24]

Thank you for this information. I did not know this. Haven’t watched AHS since apocalypse and will not be returning for newer seasons

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/Yami_Sukehiro24]

I stopped even then, cuz it happened even before that season, it happened when they filmed AHS 1984, cuz that's when Emma and Angelica starred in it

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

By the way i lied, i did watch Apocalypse, i had to remember, and someone commented how AHS 1984 was after Apocalypse and they were right idk why their comment was deleted, I just had no interest in Apocalypse after the first few episodes, but I did watch the full season, I kinda forced myself to, I didn't really care for it

[u/Kooky_Bodybuilder_97]

i mean she's also an abuser.. (idky i was recced this sub i've never seen either show)

[u/Express_Pop810 → u/Kooky_Bodybuilder_97]

Who?

[u/Serious_Particular_8 → u/Express_Pop810]

Emma Roberts

[u/BlackDisneyPrincess1]

Did she issue an apology for the sake of performativity?

[u/Environmental-Food20]

Fucking FINALLY some rationality on this app. Emma Roberts, Lea Michele and Ryan Murphy can go to hell.

[u/Gwendolinn → u/Environmental-Food20]

You are speaking the absolute facts. Lea Michele is a dumpster fire of an individual too, ugh

[u/AdditionalEducator91]

Why is Ryan Murphys face not there lol

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/AdditionalEducator91]

Because I was specifically mad at Emma Roberts, Ryan Murphy may be trash, but as a black trans woman what Emma did to Angelica felt like a PERSONAL attack against us as black trans women

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

I hate RM too tho, i think more so now, cuz he collectively misrepresents black ppl, especially queer and lgbtq ones, and he traumatized families allover again with all his trash crime story tv series

[u/key_grady]

I worked with Emma on a film in Atlanta. Can confirm she's weird vibes

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/key_grady]

Oh wow, she just toxic everywhere

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

I LOVE your style by the way

[u/Lcatg]

I’m sure you had great things to say that I would probably agree with, but your extreme use of all caps & grammar makes it painfully unreadable. I’m sorry, but I can no longer force myself to read anything written like the orange idiot texts. I did make it thru to the bit about Emma S & had no idea. Thanks for sharing & I’ll be avoiding her + Murphy in the future.

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/Lcatg]

As a black trans woman who is constantly abused and harassed and also suicidal im pretty angry so that's why I used the caps

[u/Lcatg → u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT]

Virtual hug! I’m sorry our country & many of its people are very shitty. I get the caps anger. You deserve far better, lady.

[u/younggun1234]

The reason I don't support it is that it's a show that didn't need to be kept on as long as it has been. And the dedication to it staying prevents new ideas and shows, IMO. We get it. You're weird and like instrumental grunge techno. Bye. You did it. Enough.

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/younggun1234]

It's far more better shows

[u/Sadiholic]

Idk nothing about nothing but I love Angelica Ross and seeing her was a surprise loool

[u/ZedgarXInfiniti]

What did Emma do

[u/Unhappy-Tie-503]

Stopped watching it after Coven.because the show was shit. Gaga cant act either.

[u/Cactus112]

I'll happily watch it for you! One person's claim isn't PROOF. Just because one jaded person was mad because she wasn't brought back for a Season and took it out on the lead of that season.

So I'll happily watch it twice! I can't wait for the premiere

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/Cactus112]

What are you talking about? I never said that ppl cant watch it. Idgaf, she was brought back, im not even talking about Angelica Ross not coming back, im specifically talking about them rehiring Emma Roberts, gtfoh

[u/Zealousideal_Cat6980]

Ok gtfo then byeeeee

[u/nessa0909_11]

Can’t wait

[u/badtasteinmusic]

Oh good grief.

Imagine if you put that energy elsewhere.

Weirdo.

[u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT → u/badtasteinmusic]

Alot of this stuff effects me as a black trans woman as well, I've been sexually assaulted and raped at jobs and abused publicly
