The need for these fictional black women to exist and not be labeled as mean or unfeeling just because of their show of strength, assertiveness in their position of power, and their ability to see things objectively when the vision of everyone else around them is clouded by feelings is absolutely necessary.

When their fandoms attack and dehumanize them, making them out to be a bunch of cold-hearted bitches, it angers me. It angers me because they are examples of black women here in the real world whose character is targeted for fighting to be taken seriously in their careers, demanding to be equally respected as their counterparts, and not apologizing for succeeding when the odds were never in their favor.

The names are fictitious, their stories aren’t.
