I don’t know why people can’t just enjoy the stories and characters in books anymore without obsessing over whether a character has flaws or what their race is or if there’s any diversity. I don’t read books for this stuff, I read books to escape from reality for a while and entertain myself. I still say Sophie has flaws. Low self esteem can be very damaging to a person, she also can be rather headstrong and stubborn at times. Can everyone please stop hating on Sophie for being “perfect”. Just enjoy the books as they are and not think about these things. Race shouldn’t matter, I mean isn’t that the whole point of the fight for equality? To not care about whether someone is black, white, or asian. And these characters aren’t even human which makes it even more pointless. It’s like being annoyed that a book about talking dogs doesn’t have more golden retrievers in it. These are kid’s books people, they are meant to entertain and maybe slip in some life lessons along the way, that’s all. It’s not meant to completely mirror reality by having all the issues such as lgbtq+ and inherently flawed characters. If you want books like that, you’re looking in the wrong place.
