I'm reasonably certain that, unless we see the posts, what has happened was people made comments about her portrayal that were negative, but, because she's black, they're automatically racist.

It's the Ghostbusters Syndrome yet again - any valid criticism MUST be racist or sexist.

A lot of people did harass the actresses. A lot of people criticized them without harassing them.

There is no contradiction there.

Calling her racist and sexist slurs on her Instagram because of a costume she has no control over is not valid criticism. It's not even criticism in general. It's just being an asshole.

that's a small minority. the vast majority of the people who hate her character is not because she is black but that her costume sucks and her skin is not orange enough. the show has shitty special effects compared to Guardians of the Galaxy

Gamorra is also black. but she's fine because they did a good job on her skin

Thats not even getting into the fact that she doesnt even look like they tried to change her skin tone to orange. Starfire would look weird if she were albino white, or dark chocolate.

Its kinda like Gamora. Were some people mad at her being played by a minority? Maybe. But the vast majority of people dont care about her race at all, and think that she looks great because they actually made her look great.

This Starfire looks like a cheap prostitute because of everything from the weird wig, weird outfit, cheap affects, lack of alien skin tone, and so on.

Lol if the role was played by a cute white actress I doubt her being orange enough would even come up as a criticism with any real frequency

And what makes you say that, since GotG never had any backlash over a black woman playing an alien?

Even so, a good majority of the people slinging those racist comments would more than likely not have anywhere near such a problem if it was a White actress.

A TV show budget is never going to have the same level as a movie. They have to film significantly more. A TV actor can't sit in a chair for 6-8 hours every day before filming. Expecting Gamora isn't realistic

Expecting what's on-screen to actually somewhat kinda maybe resemble the character in some fashion IS realistic, though.

Black women have been dressing as Starfire forever, and doing a far, FAR better job than what the makeup artists on that show have done.

True, but Gamora doesn't look good just because they can afford more time and money. Gamora looks good because her design is good.

Starfire's design is not.
