Bridgerton has been accused of colorism. Where's the cancellation and plunge in ratings? Have the creators been doxxed and threatened? Is Shonda Rimes' career over now?

Or... has nothing of substance actually happened as a result because this is a TV show on Netflix and that the outrage of a vocal minority didn't actually accomplish all of those things?

I didn't say every now did I? Nor did I say it was a rational fear.

Plus Shonda Rimes is black. Unless she eats a live puppy on national TV, people aren't going to give her shit.

The bottom line is not the only thing people worry about. Creators are people. They have insecurities just like everyone. Getting publicly called out as a racist (or any other kind of foully prejudiced person) feels threatening to their sense of self and to their position in society. Just like it would if someone accused you or I of those things. In some ways, it probably feels more threatening and destabilizing to them, because they are so much more in the public eye than the average joe schmoe.
