The fact that I cried over a man reading a letter instead of what was basically a high budget cologne ad for a funeral speaks volumes about the Lanterns writing
Oh no, the woman who wrote the beloved Dragon Age: Origins is writing Diablo 5. Let’s hate her because she’s female and wears glasses, I guess.
At this point it seems most of these people don’t actually know shit about games.
the discourse around Lanterns shows why comic book projects don’t usually dare to take on some of the deeper societal issues in their shows because you guys can’t handle nuance and truly see everything as black and white.
you are uncomfortable acknowledging racism, and also uncomfortable acknowledging how John’s parents are using racism which is a real issue and weaponizing it against their own son for John Sr’s failure at becoming the Lantern because the ring CHOSE HIM FIRST.
you are uncomfortable acknowledging that Hal will never have to have some of the obstacles John has due to race, but not seeing how the show is screaming at you that Bernadette’s worldview is flawed and she isn’t acknowledging Hal’s own fearless built from watching his father blow up as a child which TRAUMATIZED him and gave him a large portion of his fearlessness, something John has never had to experience.
you see the abusive cycle John is put through in the show and the way Bernadette justifies it and think the show is trying to tell you this is just because Hal is white. No
Episode 3 of Lanterns wants you to UNDERSTAND John, not tell you Hal shouldn’t have the ring because he’s white 🤦♀️
BBC has no idea why it lost the trust of viewers.
Everyone in the comments is calling it out for making fake news.
BBC uses a tragedy as a political tool to spew its own China-bashing propaganda, but audiences have been watching China's television and social media broadcasting the mudslides 24/7. They know BBC is lying.
Media in China are bringing critical information to audiences across the whole nation, at the same time making sure the content they show is not further hurting families of the victims.
But the BBC only wants disaster porn to get views; they don't care about anyone who has been affected by this disaster.
