#the only comforting thing I can say is that nettles actress will get an army of black women who will go hard for her

I'm not sure if you've ever watched a show called "The Originals" but there's a character called Camille O'Connell who enters into a romantic relationship with one of the main characters Klaus Mikaelson. Now Camille was/is a fictional character but the way the fandom treated not only her but the actual actresses who played her.....
Now Leah Pipes is a white woman with blonde hair and blue/green eyes. Nothing wrong with that of course just pointing it out. The treatment that woman endured was absolutely disgusting. I'm only bringing this up because even though Nettles’s actresses hasn’t been announced, I’m really concerned for her, especially since this fandom is batshit. And for all they like to go on about how “it’s just a show” they can’t separate fiction from reality.
I’ve never actually seen The Originals, but that behavior is not surprising. Across the board get crazy when there are ships involved and it crosses over into real life…. a lot 🙃
The HOTD fandom is already behaving very insane when it comes to Nettles and we don’t even know who’s playing her. I do not doubt that they’ll show themselves when she is officially announced.
I mean someone called Olivia a c*nt to her face, Emma was deemed “too ugly” to play Rhaenyra(and now some of those who said that have amnesia about it 🙃), Emily(young Alicent) I think shut down her social media because she was being harassed, so Nettles actress is sadly going to get a lot of hate(and it’s going to be worse because they’ll add racism on top of their sexism🤦🏽‍♀️) thrown at her.
I’d like to think that the HOTD team is trying to protect her which is why they haven’t announced her yet, but you never know with this show considering how they’ve handled things so far😬
Hate isn't cute though so those of you who try it with the real-life actress(or if some of you call the character real life racial slurs) just know that God doesn't like ugly.
