@yaoibunga@PolenordGwak666@EndymionYT@adashtra The location his ship lands you drastically change the character. The same is true of all characters. Just as you drastically change black panther by making him white, you change white characters drastically by making them any other race.
@yaoibunga@PolenordGwak666@EndymionYT@adashtra That’s not correct at all. Being white or having white creators doesn’t make a character not idiosyncratic. You’ve just proved it with your example of Superman. He’s traditionally white and so are Russians. White people are the majority in both places. But just by changing…
@yaoibunga@PolenordGwak666@EndymionYT@adashtra For the same reason it’s important for Black Panther. It’s part of their character. White is not neutral or a background to be painted over with something more interesting any more than black is.
@yaoibunga@EndymionYT@adashtra A white man could be persecuted for his race. And a white man could be a monarch of an African country. Both of these are possible things.
So is a white man an acceptable black panther?
Or is race an important part of a character and shouldn’t be changed without acknowledgment?
@yaoibunga@EndymionYT@adashtra Either A. Race matters to who a character is and, even if that character is white, people shouldn’t change a character’s race without acknowledging that reality.
Or B. Race doesn’t matter to a character’s identity and, even when the character is black, it’s okay to cast…
@AntiGermanic@AsmophetVT The context is after a decade of saying that creators are responsible for the actions of their audience, now that one of their own has harassed a man to suicide, they’re backpedaling.
@Bradcifer She can still get into heaven. But looking unprofessional isn’t a good way to get a job. Looking like someone who’s going to cause problems, constantly be filing HR reports over nothing, *and* looking unprofessional and like you’re unlikely to do your work is a bad combo.
@hankgreen@waitbutwhy I can certainly understand not wanting to see that. I don’t like looking at the obvious racism that exists on the right. But for a very long time the left has been given the benefit of the doubt despite every indication of a deeply embedded racism problem.
@hankgreen@waitbutwhy Going by their explicit statements and actions they are obviously trying to erase white people. They’re deeply influenced by individuals who have a great hatred and racial animus against white people.
The only reason not to see this is to hide from the reality of leftist racism.
