#like nick and nancy‘s relationship got pushed aside and dismissed because that would make ace less THE one

I wanted to send this to your Nancy Drew blog but don't think I can, so I hope it's ok to send it here! I watched the show from the beginning and loved season 1, but I've strongly disliked every following season, and the fanbase has been a major turnoff. I've only recently dipped my toes back in to see the meltdowns over the season 4 synopsis (hehe)

Wanted to share this post but can't put the link as is so you'll need to remove the parentheses around the periods: www(.)reddit(.)com/r/NancyDrewCW/comments/10b4er3/comment/j4ohw7t/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

I really just wanted to share the parts by the pineapple icon user, because it's great to see people finally calling out the racist fandom (especially their last comment). The fandom racism has always been prevalent, but with the show actually leaning in to the Nace stuff, it's been completely unbearable.

it‘s totally fine you send it to me! thanks by the way, because i‘m glad i‘m not the only one! i‘ve been here since before s1 finished and i‘ve been open over my dislike the way ace has been pushed forward when nick has been a great love interest. i prefer nick over ace, but when that wasn‘t in the cards i worried more over him getting pushed aside (jimmy olsen in supergirl anyone?) and i‘m glad the writers haven‘t gone that route so far. i think part of that reason is nancy actually having writers of color who care about nick and (george by that extent). anyway nancy drew has been a semi-good cw show in a pool of shitty writing so i totally understand you not wanting to watch further and the meltdowns are embarrassing as hell. it‘s called NANCY DREW and ace is a side character and that confuses white watchers (is my guess).

#sorry for all the rambling #i just have many thoughts over people asking for more ace and projecting onto him #like nick and nancy‘s relationship got pushed aside and dismissed because that would make ace less THE one #and white people can‘t handle that i guess #like if nancy really loved nick #ace is her condolence prize #and that‘s what happened #i am glad im not alone in my dislike and that people are calling it out #felt lonely over here in my quarter #anyway #nancy drew cw
