That, and you're competing against BBC, Reuters, New York Times, etc. But yeah, these people could do with trying to do charity drives for the victims and bring awareness to people like that girl who was beat and then burned to death in Pakistan for refusing a proposal, or the 19 women who were burned alive by ISIS for refusing sex.
Me. Because I'm fucking tired of people discussing every single big animated movie of last 2 years if it's homophobic, sexist or have hidden racist message. Stop, please.
Sadly it's true. In internet you usually haver contact with people similar to you or complete weirdos. And people think everybody is like you or man who married plush pony.
And apparently we need to lie about history to make it more inclusive.
I have a radical idea, why not make a show that takes place in an area and time where there happened to have been little to no white people around. Why fuck with history when actual history can be entertaining if you are willing to take a chance. I wouldn't mind seeing more shows taking place in Africa or south America. Heck you can even try importing shows that are already made and staring non-white people. This way you will actually be supporting the people making good shit. A few minutes in google brought these links up.
No, the problem with this idea is that it's not enough that these people should succeed—others, which means their perceived oppressors in this case, should fail. What they want is "characters beloved by the majority because they're like them should be non white/female/trans/queer/whatever the fuck the Minority of the Day is and there's nothing they can do about it", but they totally disregard the fact that nobody in the world is as obsessed with 'representation' as them to the point where they find it more important than rights for actual people in those minorities.
The Cultural Appropriation is triggering me. Only Koreans can enjoy Korean soap.
Marlon James. The guy who wrote the 2015 Booker Award for A Brief History of Seven Killings. I started a thread on it here.
It's laziness really. Introducing new characters is too hard. Trying to understand a Korean soap is difficult. Watching a film set in Nigeria, staring Nigerians is hard. It is far, far easier to take an established character like the Doctor or James Bond or Spiderman, and change them into a black person. All it needs to succeed is to piggyback off the success of those who came before it. There is less risk of it failing because the expectation is that the old fans will carry though and if they don't you can just call them racists who's opinions don't matter because they are racists.
We've already seen that, but with women
This is not anything special and quite, when hero is a CHILD.
