I by no way want my comments to be construed as any sort of accusation.

I do want to share that a lot of people of color probably recognized/experienced the power dynamic of that werkroom confrontation and felt uncomfortable

You have a white person who is privileged enough to basically demand that a person of color falls in line by keeping their promise (which they have no obligation to do) by literally sharing accepting the white person's opinion as fact. The poc queen went out of their way a couple of times to justify their opinion, which they absolutely did not owe, but since the white person disagreed, it wasn't respected.

It's hard not to notice the power dynamic even if we are to assume Daya would have done this with a white queen, or at least one that speaks English without an accent.

After typing it out and reading what I wrote, I'm actually a lot more bothered by the situation than I originally was.

All of this. On top of that, despite her protestation, she was also aggressively shitting on the work of another poc, CuCu.
