13233737, a lot of the backlash seems like crab in a barrel shit to me

sense of humor aka funniness is subjective, so while I didnt find what I watched super amusing, they appeal to a demographic and it didnt seem harmful to anyone's blackness

the "white girl" accents are a little heavy, but I'd rather they be authentic than try blacking it up like (suburban/non-black/teen actor) rappers tend to

I was impressed by them winging the opening dialogue and still being fast and clever, there's comedic ability there

a lot of popular black entertainment is for white consumption, so you can be 2 Dope Queens or you can be Leslie Jones where you're the butt of the joke (Im not explaining this point)

or you can be Mo'Nique where your niche audience is black and even smaller
