Then what ARE you saying? Tighten up your word salad about the film being weaker "because no one thought how he would come off".
What does that even mean? You're saying no one making the movie stopped to think about how the character comes off because he's being played by a Black guy?
@skorpiomag You're literally saying if a character is Black that you should infuse them with Black stereotypes, but have zero self-awareness you're doing it.
Fascinating...
I can't reiterate this enough lately.
Stop forcing activism on Black people.
Stop forcing escapism content to include real life bullshit under the lens of "racial sensitivity".
The fact that so much Black superhero content includes them facing racial diversity or systemic oppression is ridiculous. Black people deserve to have escapism content that isn't there to remind everyone for the millionth time that racism is bad.
"It's wrong to portray life as ugly!"
"Sometimes life is ugly, though. Do you want the people who experience that to stay silent or lie about their own experience?"

There's a strange truth when it comes to people who advocate for "good" to be done in the world.
Sometimes... they're confusing "good" with "beautiful".
They are people who do not want a good world.
They are people who want the world to appear good, so they can feel better about it themselves.
@ladystarfaII@ateotbray Holy actual fuck.
You're insane.
How are you this insane but think you're making good points?
Black people are fucking cooked if this is the level of "media literacy" their advocates push...
@ladystarfaII Is the racial stereotype in the room with us right now?
I never bought into Black people being cannibalistic pirates when they fail to become an architect, but now The Backrooms has reinforced it with me.
What the fuck are you talking about in your "film studies"? How to be dumb?
@TheUndeadSystem@bkukindo@DeadGirlStalkin Look up what shootings are, how many have happened, and know they still happen TO THIS DAY at like 1000% higher than lynching.
@gina_scooter You're right. Because it wasn't until watching The Backrooms that I truly bought into the stereotype about Black people being cannibalistic pirates.
@rundown_rln@luxkhai@DeadGirlStalkin The soul of a word won't be found in a dictionary...
It's politically correct to believe nigga is offensive when it's not said by a Black person. That's the only reason it's put in there....
@rundown_rln@luxkhai@DeadGirlStalkin Who was calling them nigga in their youth? Other black people? The fuck you talking about.
Ain't no one was bullying black kids in school by calling them nigga.
People want to be a part of Black culture and community.
Black people are the ones who made "nigga" cool, so now everyone wants to say it.
Non-Black people are still racist if they say nigga.
You're saying that people who think Black people are inferior also want to be a part of Black culture and community because Black people are cool. It makes no logical sense. It's all just your weird vibes.
@NotDocMartin43@Srirachachau That's you. You read one book, used a highlighter, and then thought you were the smartest person alive. Get a fucking grip, doofus.
Black Americans wanting to be outsiders in America is entirely why shit will remain senseless as we continue moving forward in time.
There is no benefit to constantly positioning yourselves as "othered" while you yourselves demand that others see you differently from them.
This used to be a country about seeing that we're all American no matter what we look like and meaning the most to us.
Now it's all about "who's oppressed? who's the oppressor? Now everyone that looks like you are those things. End of discussion."
@rundown_rln@luxkhai@DeadGirlStalkin Your point is "everything you said against my point is true, but it's still racist, just because."
It's a fucky rebuttal against what I said and gives me nothing to work off.
@rundown_rln@luxkhai@DeadGirlStalkin I can't disagree the same thing over and over again. Nigga has moved on past your given definition wherein only Black people are using it the way nigga is described.
@rundown_rln@ASHLYYacid@DeadGirlStalkin Urban Dictionary isn't just mainstream slang.
It's literally any slang word or saying being throw in there by people.
It's got all kinds of weird words and things.
Slang in America also connects back to Jews, Italians, and certain white cultures with "dude, gnarly, hella", etc.
@rundown_rln@ASHLYYacid@DeadGirlStalkin On topic would be the Urban Dictionary takes slang from every race of human on Earth and then allows people to vote on the definition presented for the slang.
This allows there to be a measure of language of the people by the people.
