Transcript by OP

I've been so happy to see Sister Sage finally humbled and see her plans implode. I can't say that in the main fandom spaces I hang out in though, because they'd scream "racist" at me for doing so. When did the evil "genius" manipulator get transformed into the best in positive representation for black women? Some people made the one of the worst people in the show into their "see, look at the black woman outsmarting the white guys" flag and are now upset that the smug villain just got their comeuppance.

I don't watch this so like, idk about specifics of this situation, but I don't think good representation should just = characters who are good people. Like, as a queer person I think heavily sanitized queer characters who are good respectable people with healthy relationships, are boring as shit. It's not great if they're ALL evil, but I'm gonna be more excited about a queer character who does some fucked up things stylishly. So like, completely understandable for people to be excited about a black woman who's an awful person and a fun character, and I DO think it's better representation to have some of those around than have all representation be heroic.

AH I've loved the last few episodes with Sage's "demise". I've always been intrigue by her character (the actress is amazing) but I hate the trope of "the smartest character win because they can predict people" because NOPE people are unpredictable because they don't follow logic at all, and "smart" people usually mean emotionally stunted super logic individuals.
She was fucked over TWICE now and it's nice to see her human side. And I can relate a bit too much with her stupid endgame. She's just a child with a grudge and I love that for entertainment purpose. It would've been cool seeing her trying to go to a therapist but failing miserably because she tries to outsmart the therapist, aha.

Sage's arc is actually the only thing I've enjoyed in the Boys since season 3 lol I think now she's one of my favourite character arc, along with A Train (Ashley was there but goddamn I hate her in this season)

You can feel how you want about a character, but positive rep isn't always going to be 'this person is good and just' and in this show full of honestly awful, messy people why would she be any different? She's arrogant and up herself and I love her for it.

I did like how the finale handled both her and Ashley
