Isn't the magical negro trope viewed in a negative way? I've heard the term "black girl magic" being thrown around for a while now but wouldn't it fall under magical negro?
I know black girl magic is a tumblr thing and I am not expecting consistency from that crowd but how was this allowed to become a thing? Do I misunderstand the magical negro trope?
Also, along with "slay queen" how long until we get an unironic "DAS RITE" Has that already happened? I haven't seen a Marvel movie in a long time.
If you view yourself and your tribe as an oppressed victim, you can never be a hypocrite. Anything you do is fighting the systemic shmatriarcgyny hate care affirming shabblemubbo. So the magical negro trope is fair game, and not at all problematic like it was... 7 years ago. But, if an oppressor makes a film with that trope, then it is bad again.
