Does race matter in fantasy adaptations?

Описание: It's time to bring research to a discussion that's been swirling around for years, but has heated up with recent fantasy adaptations: like the Wheel of Time, Rings of Power, and even Disney's live action The Little Mermaid. Today we talk data, when race matters with character, how to have difficult conversations, and a look into what's going on in the fandoms. Let me know your thoughts below, but keep it civil, people.
