@RinkaShikiTi I know its an atrocious part of history for many. If you ever have a problem with how yours is portrayed Ill support your grievances too. If its offensive to YOU who am I to tell its not.
@amaizhanlu The issue wasnt slavery, the issue wasnt time period setting, or interracial power imbalance. Too me it was the combination of all converging and that Drew a very straight line to certain specific trauma. She Needed to exclude one to make it work in a way that didn't feel icky
@DANCE0FDRAG0NS I want her to keep the civil war. I dont mind boundary pushing. She can make it work she just need more research and probably a consultant
Jaxx could have kept the setting and time period. If she used characters inspired by Stand Waite or John Ross. Both former slave owning wealthy natives and stand waite aligned with the confederacy if thats,what she was looking for.
@gan_hvau@JoannaB3B3@jaxx_s2 I'm not upset with Jaxx I think it was lack proper research and her simply not connecting the dots. I dont think she had ill intentions Im happy she canceled. I'll read the next one. Set in the wild west, civil war etc. Just map it out a bit better.
@gan_hvau@JoannaB3B3@jaxx_s2 Yes it was it was a context issue. It compares to a Palestinian calling an Israeli master. Mr Dern is on occupied land in the west. Buffalo brought to near extinction just to starve out and kill native with mass genocide mixed native highly like a rape offspring it was poor taste
Of all of them that was the problem. White man and native man fine white man and native man during the Civil War NO. Hell a love story about two black gay slaves during Civil War would have been fine with sufficient research and nuance.
Some trauma are universal they cross race and cultural lines. Thats why they get a "pass". Some trauma are very specific to specific individual. US chattel slavery, Armenian genocide, Nanjing, Gando massacre, comfort women, Hiroshima, its a unique heartbreak for specific people
She made a personal and business decision by cancelling. She weighed her options and decided to go in a different direction. The setting wasnt the issue, the interracial relationship wasnt the issue, the dynamic wasnt the issue, it was the combination
@gan_hvau@JoannaB3B3@jaxx_s2 Imagine me someone w/ and actual louisiana native grandmother literally card carrying. With southern black as the other 3/4 not know the history. JAxx made the decision not to offend due to weighing her losses. She dont owe you smut at the cost of her personal integrity or money
