Diamond is a social media personality with deeply problematic and questionable choices. All her celebrity is drawn from blackfishing - the act of changing your appearance to look like a person of color.
Though Diamond is not devoid of voices and characters that constantly attack these decisions, as well as express a well-placed sense of rage and being wronged, she continues to appropriate a culture with a long history of cruelties inflicted upon them to serve her own purposes. The narrative presents a lucid and earnest voice in engaging with these thematic concerns, ensuring that the messaging is loud and clear.
The conclusion truly drives the horror home of a bloodied history that is not to be belittled in the name of social media currency or petty personal ambitions, and in the process, presents a crucially relevant story.
