This is going to become more common especially if they have the black Snape hanging up on a tree while white people mock him.
Some characters have to be a certain race for the story to work. Snape being black changes the story completely and makes everyone look like racists.
Edit for clarity: The race swapping changes the subtext of story.

SNL is stealing a lot of jokes from social media these days. I feel like they’re going to get rid of their writers soon and just have a bot steal jokes from here.

I have no problem with Snape being black but story wise it makes it look so bad. Imagine he is the only black professor in the cast and will be the only suspected of stealing the stone . And also despite being anti hero type, snape was abusive af to Harry in the book. They could have race swapped other professors, I wonder whose genius idea was this one.

I mean, tbh, this is the only take I think makes sense-all the social media takes making fun of black snape are honestly racist. Everyone saying it ruins the story aren’t even thinking of the social implications of their argument. At the end of the day, Harry Potter has always been about class, race, ethnicity. It’s allowed to be complicated.

They deserve an award for race swapping the worst possible character.
The internet is making so much fun of that pick already and the AI edits and music videos are crazy.

If anyone has seen The Studio this whole thing is reminding me of the Kool Aid man episode lol I’m genuinely wondering if the casting department had a full thought process of that or not

couldn’t help but notice that the HBO show didn’t call out the OTHER main issue behind watching the Harry Potter show
