-A few months after her FFA debut, TWings asserted that [[http://thingswithwings.dreamwidth.org/118830.html|the lighting choices on //Leverage// are racist]] because they prevented her from seeing Aldis Hodges’ (Hardison’s) face as anything but “a dark-shaped blob in the foreground.” She lightened some clips from the show using Final Cut and posted before-and-after pics showing that even with her edits, Hardison remained darker than the other characters. (Note that she was watching DVD copies to begin with, and they might have been ripped, both of which would have affected the quality of the lighting.)+A few months after her FFA debut, TWings asserted that [[http://thingswithwings.dreamwidth.org/118830.html|the lighting choices]] on //Leverage// are racist because they prevented her from seeing Aldis Hodges’ (Hardison’s) face as anything but “a dark-shaped blob in the foreground.” She lightened some clips from the show using Final Cut and posted before-and-after pics showing that even with her edits, Hardison remained darker than the other characters.
