I didn't see some anxiety ridden misunderstood teen on stage (as a high schooler myself, I'm probably one to talk), but rather i saw a narcissistic asshole who lied to a family to sleep with the dead kids sister. Did i miss something? am i supposed to feel anything? help me out here"

It's an excellent score, but the narrative is the definition of white supremacy. If Evan was any other race this show would not have received the same understanding and compassion. It's a twisted plot at best.

"

I don’t think "white supremacy" is the term you want to go with. I believe that has the wrong connotation for your argument. I think that, perhaps, yourargument can be made about white privilege, but you would have to ignore that the role has been played by actors of color and it did not really add any subtext or change the feeling of the story, so even that argument would be problematic. I think, when all is said and done, your argument has little merit based on Jordan Fisher's portrayal of the role on Broadway."

White supremacy fuels the mindset of White privilege. They go hand and hand. Supremacy in DEH is hisability to lie, manipulate and get away without true consequence. Regardless to who replaced, I stand firm that the initial casting helped the character be more palatable to the masses. I'm not seeking your agreement, noram I expecting you comprehend my point."

Comprehend your point? You seem to think quite highly of yourself. Your arrogance is not a good look.
