Product placement
Love is Blind Netherlands (a reality television series) - merely appears as the subject of the creator's critique; removing the name would change the specific topic of the video but the product does not act or generate anything here.
On-screen text
Maybe the hardest part of wanting representation is realizing you can't keep asking to be welcomed into spaces that keep humiliating you. Love is Blind Netherlands is another example of the equation I'm tired of seeing: Black women are included but racism, fetishization and humiliation become part of the story. Maybe it's time to stop wanting a seat at tables that only make room for us when our suffering makes good television.
