Okay, remember when there was a lot of criticism about the lack of PoC in Agent Carter, and remember when everyone was freaking out about how that might mean it doesn’t’ get renewed?

And you see now how it’s renewed?

It’s time to own the ‘it’ll get better in season 2? and ‘give season 2 a chance if we get one’ and every time we suggested that folks who wanted better representation in that show should wait.

Start talking about it now. Start writing to the network now, and the writers, and get the word out there.

We’re SO EXCITED about Season 2, and we can’t wait to see a lot more diversity.  Where’s Jim Morita?  Where’s Gabe Jones?  Where are plots dealing with racial issues in the era?  Where are all the women of color?  It’s NEW YORK CITY, FFS.  By both actual reality and comics canon, the show is about 8000% too white.

SEASON TWO IS A LOCK, SO LET’S START ASKING FOR EVERYTHING WE SAID WE WERE WAITING FOR.

Push.  Push hard.  Because a LOT of us told the women of color who complained about the lack of intersectionaliity to wait.

The wait is over.

YES THIS PLEASE
