The worst part of this idea (which he basically said is his stance) is the fact that the main crux of his argument, Hazel, is literally a new character. Even by his own reasoning she should be ok.
@@Solidekans84 No they don’t, and that’s called moving the goal post. Aside from being an incredibly stupid argument, this video explains how that isn’t the case for this show. Maybe watch the video or better yet watch the show next time before typing something blatantly incorrect.
Saying hazel is race swapped timmy is like saying miles morales is race swapped peter parker all 4 characters mentioned are flat out different characters
Its the fact it isn't even a race swap,it's JUST a new character guys... There's gotta be some kind of actual racism in those arguements Maybe not entirely but
This guy doesn’t speak for all of us. I’m only speaking for myself when I say that I do genuinely prefer original characters with original stories instead of race swaps, because Black people need better than race swaps. They’re allowed to tell their own stories and make their own characters, and they should be allowed to.
Honestly kinda of a slippery slope there because even though he probably wouldn’t there are people like him irl and if it’ll make them more money they’ll say whatever they want to get more money
As another black person, it's because they don't see us as human. Racist white people see themselves as the default race, so everyone else is an "other". Black people can't exist in media without there being a reason for the character being black, otherwise it'd seem forced to them; in their heads, black people don't just exist like they do. It's a subconscious bias.
Because its always a white character that gets turned black they never make an original black character it's so dumb it's just trying to get woke freeks to watch it people have had enough of the white hate get over yourself
What’s crazy about that last part with Tiana is that she was based on an actual person named Leah Chase who is in fact a chef who happens to be a black woman from New Orleans. That dude’s entire video was not only inconsistent but wildly racist. Glad to see you use your platform to be against bs like this Toonshi
The craziest thing is that apart of me was thinking he might bring up race swapping Tiana with everything he was waffling about before but I kept on telling myself there’s no way he would be that dumb to actually say it… and a second later he actually said it 💀
“erm if we get a black aerial, that means we should have a white Tiana! 😡” i’m going to hold your hand while I say this mermaids aren’t real, but Tiana is Tiana is based off of a real black woman…
And even if she weren't, Tiana's race is an important aspect of both her character and the narrative as a whole. She works herself to the bone, "pulling herself up by her bootstraps" the way people love to exclaim, and it accomplishes _nothing_ because of the racist people and systems at play in her world. It isn't until she has powerful allies (both in terms of political power with a prince and a physical presence with Louis) that she's able to force those discriminating against her to treat her with respect. Literally what bearing does Ariel's skin color have on her story? Or Snow White's, or Aurora's or Cinderella's or Belle's for that matter? 9 times out of 10, the PoC princesses' race is actually a very important aspect of the story they're in and making them white would literally change the story.
@@Silburific you said this beautifully and I agree with every last one of them except for snow White, because technically her race has to do with the story *KIND* because the reason why her name is Snow White is because of how pale she is but everything else you said I completely agree with
@@firerose_3605 I'm on the fence about snow white's name because it doesn't matter how she is called in the story, it's just for the sake of using the same title. You could change the reason why the princess is called snow white, like maybe she was born during a snowstorm. Her pale skin does'nt matter either, the mirror never explained what made snow white more beautiful than the evil queen ; because she's young while the queen is becoming too old ? Because she is beautiful on the inside ? But I also know that snow white is one of the only fairy tale princesses to have a physical description, so whatever version you pick (not just disney) she always looks similar, and it would be weird to change that now.
@@firerose_3605 That's a sentiment i see echoed a lot but I'd like to passionately comment on it as a black person whose favorite Disney princess is Snow White. Snow White is her color, not her race. Anyone of any race can be her skin color. So that's not the issue. Even if you have person of any color or race play her and still have the base story, It's still snow white. Anyone can recognize a snow white story. We've gotten versions of snow white where she either wasn't as pale as paper and had fairer skin, had a different name, or wasn't even true to her original innocent character. So clearly it doesn't matter to certain people as long as she's racially white. When people say "you can't have another race be snow white it won't be snow white anymore" it really bothers me. Not saying this for you because you never said that, but it comes off as a lil bit weird the way other people do. Snow White's personality has NOTHING to do with her race. Her story has NOTHING to do with her race. It is just HER name and the name of the book. I swear, if it wasn't the name of the book we'd have a bunch of different races playing snow white. The Little Mermaid didn't even HAVE a name before disney gave her one. Her name and thus, skin color means THAT little. Skin Color does not equate to race. She is a sweet, innocent young girl who has a lot of bad stuff happen to her but still sticks to her kind nature throughout and it pays off in the end (talking about the disney movie but kind of the tale too). So i ask you, Can a black girl not be kind and innocent? Can a black girl not BE snow white in her character? That's what it boils down to. Snow White's race and color are not integral to the story, to bring up Coal Black and The Sebben Dwarfs. Yes, it was a VERY racist cartoon from the 1940s that was a thinly veiled excuse for WB to show off their cool new animation. It told the story of a black girl, unfortunately named So White, in a snow white story. Albeit heavily abridged and littered with American World War 2 propaganda, it still told the base recognizable story of snow white. I like the character of So White. I think she's pretty, has a cute singing voice and adorable ditzy personality. I would love to see more of her in something else. But i can also step back and realize that she was a racist depiction of a black girl. She was drawn a more sexualized body and was put in skimpy clothing, she was shown to be naturally promiscuous, she was dumb, she was subservient. She didn't get to stand up for herself and lay down ground rules the way the disney snow white got to just 6 or 7 years prior, she got right to cooking and cleaning and didn't say a word. Things just HAPPENED to So White and it didn't affect her. The short i think helped pushed this narrative that if a black girl was in the place of Snow White she wouldn't be as innocent, as pure. She would be promiscuous, adultified, dumb, more masculine. People would struggle to see even Disney's snow white as innocent and pure if she was black. This applies to even now. And she wouldn't be pale. She wouldn't be Snow White. It's as if Snow White's innocence relies solely on the racial whiteness we as a society have associated with her. Think about if there was a snow white story, and snow white was black. It would still be called snow white, not because of her skin color, but because of her innocence and kindness. Snow White's innocence and kindness is the other, more story prominent meaning of her name. The association between white and innocence is a HEAVY part of the original tale. Her white skin is a metaphor and nod to her "white" purity. I feel like we should kinda question that but i wont get into it. Her skin color, and thus race has nothing to do with the integral story of snow white. Anyone of any race or color can go through her story and have it be the same. And it could still be called Snow White. People really need to use the whole "anyone can be cinderella" in the case of Snow White. ANYONE can be snow white. I always encourage people to really dissect putting a person of color in the place of snow white. What changes? Her skin tone obviously and some descriptors of her skin tone, as rare as they are, but what else? Nothing. Sorry for the super long message i get really passionate about snow white, none of this is a hit piece on you, you didnt do anything wrong. I just really wanted to plead my case on this and maybe try and get my thoughts out there. I love Snow White so much. I would KILL for a black snow white with a sweet high pitched voice and the same personality as the original disney version but expanded 😄
No no no you see I hate it because the character is a different color and gender than me and it uses a new artstyle and changes characters instead of just acting like a new season of the same exact show.
@@kingsuperbobboyDude, he was just wrong about it being a race-swap. God forbid someone makes a mistake. That doesn't mean they're rascist like you're implying.
The most laughable argument they made was in the comments, saying that he knows Timmy and Hazel are not the same character, but that HE THINKS the principle of raceswapping still applies...like...that's literally not how that works.
I think his stance on why she's a race swap is because she fills the same role as Timmy did in the OG series which....is the freaking point of the show🤦♂️. Like of course hazel is the godkid to cosmo and wanda. THAT'S THE DANG HOOK OF THE SHOW!! Honestly aside from that similarity, they are night and day to one another
@@darwinbowman8512Dude just straight up don’t like seeing a black kid as a protagonist despite mentioning Static Shock and Cyborg (which HEY HEY! They made a special episode of how they get treated due their skin color!)
Pretty sure A New Wish just straight up proves that characters literally don’t have to simply be “race-swapped” versions of already existing characters. Hazel is literally the opposite of Timmy personality wise, and it is absolutely for the show’s benefit imo.
If you’re gonna make a brand new character for a show like this then you kinda have to make Hazel the opposite. To make her another Timmy would make her boring and the show pointless. We know what Timmy would do with Faries, I want to see what Hazel would do with them in this one, and they did good on that.
@@IsabellaMathew Trade-off is that is going to necessitate an ending sooner rather then later or you start questioning why she still has fairies despite being so developed.

Y'know, there was a post running around awhile back which was about how gamers are act there are two races: white and "political." Two sexualities: straight and "political." Two genders: male and "political." This entire situation is just that post personified
It really sucks I hate sounding like this, but it really is just impossible to make a piece of media with characters who aren't straight white dudes without these pathetic ducks whining about it

Unfortunately, there are anti-SJW channels out there that beats the dead horse and still use the crying woman from 2016, but I'm glad that the anti-woke crowd finally gets clowned on because anyone who unironically uses "woke" in their critique or opinion, then there's no room for them to talk.
@@ajgameguy3674 Yeah. The anti-SJW craze has withered out, but complaining about the "woke propaganda" on any media in 2024 is just a new level of embarrassment.
At least the writers of _Craig of the Creek_ and _Infinity Train_ did put some effort to fix Fairly Oddparents with blood and sweat than Butch Hartman would ever be, even if he's an executive producer. Just as long as he's not involved to the working table, I'm fine with it.
Bro must be stuck in the time where "SJWs gets owned" compilations became popular at the time (now, it's just a fad, unless the channels who ran those compilations are just beating the dead horse).
"ruined childhood" is one of those terms we need to put back on the shelf and save for something way more serious (like an adult realizing they were abused in their childhood) and not "why new take of media I like as a kid different????"
"stop ""blackwashing"" characters, make your own characters", and the moment people do they're either still shat on by people like this guy or just straight up fall into obscurity.
The thing that gets me is how he makes Butch Hartman out to be a poor victim whose creation and visionary work was bastardized by executives, as if he isn't the justifiable scapegoat for everything that went wrong with FOP
He also screwed over Danny phantom by making the show hard to succeed as he constantly went over budget which no network wants because Nickelodeon is a buisness either you have an effective way of producing content or you become unreliable and fail to meet deadlines like John K.
Saying “I hope they race swap one more movie” and then proceed to show The Princess and the Frog is the most racist comment I’ve ever seen someone make. Actually had to process that one for a minute
Here's the script for the raceswap of Princess and the frog: Tiana: Hello I would like to buy this building Building sellers: Oh of course. Here you go, enjoy! Tiana: hard work always pays off. Naveen: I'm white
@@audreyharris7643 exactly. Whats worse is that that’s a movie that has more black people in it and that’s one of the things I like most about it. Saying to reverse all that is just racist. I mean he could’ve just made the video shorter and made a 5 second clip of him saying he hates black people. That would’ve saved us the trouble
@@entityontheinternet I guess the family guy raceswap clip was also “just a joke” then, huh? There’s only so many jokes one can make before you just sound racist
Hazel is NOT a race-swapped Timmy Turner and anyone who says otherwise needs a brain check. That's like saying Blue Beetle is a race-swapped Iron Man or Miles Morales is a race-swapped Peter Parker.
@genericname2747 It's because they want to show how anti woke they are. This anti woke crap has gotten out of control as people are now sounding borderline racist.
Crab is not an ethnicity but I can imagine there may be a certain group that he checks some stereotypes he emobies that may have gotten him a bit... confused.
Lmao I think he labeled Krabs as a specific ethnicity due to his accent. The effort is commendable, but very silly as how he’s an anthropomorphic animal…
'Why do they have to make everything about skin colour? I do not see race and prefer when non white characters are simply written the same as white characters', 'Why the fuck is no one bringing up the fact that Hazel is black? It's literally the only thing I can think about and yet they don't acknowledge it enough, because of woke'
It makes sense to see race in a show like the boondocks because it’s all about it if the main characters in the boondocks were white than people wouldn’t appreciate the show. But for this show race should be of least concern because race isn’t the subject of the show.
11:19 bro... Static Shock marked my childhood (thanks to Silvio Santos) and this dude saying that he didn't saw him as a black character is just disrespectful
Its extra dumb and disrespectful considering that one of the main themes that is present in almost every episode IS the injustices black ppl face! Theres an entire episode about Richie's racist dad dammit! Can't even forget the line "Back home im a black boy, but here... im just a boy."
@@shootingstar8712 There were so many episodes specifically putting blackness front and center as the highlight. Anyone remember the episode where Virgil visits Africa, meets an African black superhero called Anansi, and straight up vocalizes that he wishes he had more heroes in America that looked like him and validated that black people can be heroes too? Anyone claiming to have watched Static Shock and missed the racial element either didn't actually watch the show, is a r@cist, a bit slow on the uptake, or blind and deaf.
You'd be surprised how common that is. So many racists are fans of shows that are explicitly anti-racist its kind of ridiculous. When they talk about these shows they always emphasize how cool the characters are, or how awesome the action is, they never mention the message, as if it just flew right over their head.
@@josephcontinelli7997 He basically tried to defame Wendigoon by throwing out whatever accusations he could think of with little evidence (being racist, privileged, part of a violent hate group, etc). In reality, IPoS was likely just hating on the guy for being a Christian Conservative who is more popular and well-respected within the horror community.
We could have a nuanced conversation about raceswapping established characters, but Hazel is literally entirely separate. Losers are just mad at the existence of a fictional black girl.
There is a conversation to be had since changing someones skin colour does not create good representation There is culture behind these races too, There is more to race than skin colour , For example You cannot simply change the colour of a white British person to Black and now they are Black British Black British people are very in tune with there culture of Origins and often immerse themselves into it , So having a race-swap is not good representation since it goes further than that So you would have to go out of your way to fundamentally rewrite a character to effectively raceswawp them and at the point are they even the same character?
My opinion is that, I don't really care about the whole "representation" angle of it. I just think raceswapping should be allowed because anyone should be allowed to play who they want if race isn't important, and to prevent such is discriminatory.
@@Gametoon05 The general sentiment is nice, but remember that non-white people are disadvantaged already compared to white people when it comes to securing jobs in the acting industry. This is due to a combination of individual discrimination and systemic holdovers from when folks could be more blatantly racist. Replacing an established character of color with a white actor shouldn't be a flippant decision, because it takes a potential job away from an equally-or-better skilled actor from the disadvantaged demographic.
My personal take on raceswapping is I don’t personally care for it, but at the end of the day there’s no real issue with people doing it, Y’know, so long as it’s not one of those “I FIXED YOUR ART!!!” cases.
Specially cuz singing marvelously is the reason why she was choosen to be Ariel, it was never bc she's black 😭😭 The director of the 2023 little mermaid saw halle sing and was mesmerized by her voice, he still did auditions to se if any girl could surpass Halle, and since none did in his eyes he chose her 😭😭
u can tell he doesnt watch the media he criticises, nor the media he praises. he clearly just bases his opinions off of online discourse regarding said-media... and judging by the tone of his video, it's evident *where* the discourse he engages w is coming from. i think bringing up static shock is the most blatant example of this; he definitely just saw some people praising it online and using it as their token black political media (to not look racist when they attack other black political media), and decided to name drop it for the sake of the head nodders in his audience who might not have felt comfortable w his thinly-veiled racism up until that point in the video. this is only furthered by uncle ruckus being one of his examples - if youre an edgy, "anti-sjw" racist but cant handle being ascribed the label of "racist", then u watch the boondocks to come off as tolerant and socially-aware whilst completely missing the point of the show and its underlying narrative; instead favouring characters like riley and uncle ruckus wo realising that the show actively-mocks those characters. bro definitely complained abt the boys "turning political". halle bailey and rachel ziegler are astounding vocalists - he wouldve known that if he'd actually watched any of the topics his speaks abt in his content and the fact that he called them both "bad singers" w his whole chest makes it impossible to take anything he says seriously imho
So... if a show ends, and they decide make a sequel/spinoff, the creators are obligated to make the new, completely different character of the same ethnic background as the last one, or otherwise it's raceswapping...? That's not even mental gymnastics at that point, those are full-on mental olympics.
@@ExtremeWreck Idk man, was the first thing that came to my mind and English isn't my first language. Guess I'll change it back to mental then. But thanks for telling me, I might not have noticed it makes no sense otherwise.
What we’ve been saying for a decade: “stop race swapping and put effort into write diverse characters!,” What this dude heard…. Somehow: “All diverse characters are race swaps,” Add “race swap” to your list of words that doesn’t mean anything anymore.
People like that will never be happy "If you want diversity create new characters to show it" Black people then create new black characters " Stop forcing Diversity "
He did not just say that about Princess Tiana. Her whole movie reflects on her character being a black woman centered in that time period. The one black princess we were gifted with after years of arguing with Disney and he wants to say that. Okay Air. Disperse and be gone like your name.
@GokhanAras-pj1mm it's the song Creep by Radiohead, it just has kind of a reputation for being commandeered and loudly enjoyed by guys who are kinda willfully creepy and rude and out of touch, like this guy. Good song, bad fan base sorta thjng.
@@emilianojoaquinlopezaburto3451 Creep by Radiohead is literally a song about a weird guy with a crush on a girl he puts on a pedestal and talks/sings about like she's a perfect being or an angel or goddess, and he's just a creepy weirdo stalking her but being too insecure to talk to her. It's not about race specifically, but it's also not the song you use as your background music for a video you want people to take seriously while presenting said video as "this is a completely normal and reasonable thing to be saying and I'm not weird for saying it." meanwhile the background song is literally saying I'm a weirdo.
It's insane how he calls a new wish "a terrible sequel" for the Fairly OddParents Legacy when stuff like fairy odder and the grow up Timmy Turner movies exist by comparison.
Oh nah I totally get making this video, that “video” was pissing me off.

I met Air back in 2018 and was a longtime member in his Discord server. Despite his flaws up to this point, he was an overall nice guy to talk to. To see him stoop this low is honestly kind of disheartening. When I heard the news about what he did, I ended up unsubscribing from his channel, left his server, and blocked him on Twitter. I knew he was a little spiteful towards criticism, but calling A New Wish a “race-swapped” version of FOP is going too far.
@@Eminster Really? Are you gonna say A.S.K. Air's behavior in his latest video and all his backtalking towards people who criticized it was just a bit over dramatic too?
I don't know how this man can deny that his arguments are steeped in racism and misogyny when they basically boil down to "the only reason black girls could be in media is because the creators want to pander to the woke left and certainly not because black girls exist irl"
Yep. Or what does he think of Supergirl or Batgirl? Like most versions of Batgirl, she both stumbled into heroism and made her own path. She was mostly inspired by her father to be a good and honest person. And some versions, she became Batgirl to help her father. She stumbled into the "Batgirl" because of a costume ball. Then she gets paralyzed and became Oracle. Legacy heroes/sidekicks are an art, and should be respected when done right. Miles Morales is an awesome legacy hero. Also Batman Beyond is an amazing series and hero. Sorry I'm rambling, but I like defending good legacy heroes/sidekicks
@@dariogaelreyes7534 best way I've heard someone describe modern Enter, for example, after the 9/11 Turning Red take, he made "Turning Red is NOT a mixed bag", and that is just one example.
Well Enter only assumed A New Wish was going to be bad like a percentage of people also unfairly thought. But then made a video when season 1 concluded to praise it.
2016 YT has diluted the minds of so many people to think anything that has a non white character in it is a pr move and to make things woke. Imagine looking at a race of people just to see them as a pr move. The 90’s had so many diverse shows and these people act like none of that existed before. Look I know there is bad representation but doesn’t mean all representation is bad that’s what people failed to realize. Glad more people are calling this out. This crowd has been on the internet for too long and I’m tired of them being so loud.
@@An_Actual_Rat Yeah and also do it in good faith. I feel like alot of these people take it as an opportunity to expose their racist thoughts and then try to mask it as caring about the cartoon.
This is why I felt uncomfortable when I saw some comments in the previous video say “I thought this was gonna be woke but it turns out it’s good”, maybe don’t immediately react negatively whenever you see a black character
Tbf there's a reason as to why this hesitation is a thing and that's usually because of bad stuff with diversity in it seems to just have bad quality and if it fails the people who make it call the you racist. I didn't believe it was gonna be woke at all but I get why
-- Says writing black characters with stories about their race is bad -- Complains about a character with no stories about her race -- Names black characters with stories about their race as good examples of black characters
If I had a penny for every time someone critiqued a fun silly show that someone’s has some deep moments to the Cartoon Network show teen titans go I’d have a lot of pennys Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s a trend
Okay that guy must be taking the piss, because like, "I don't see Static Shock as a black character" my man, I've never watched the damn show and I'm so white I burn in moonlight and even I know how much Static as a character is tied to being black, this guy is either kidding or actually mental
I said to myself a while go when New Wish was trending: "Wow I'm glad I haven't seen much hate and racism about a New Wish, that's unusual for a show that features a minority group; especially a black girl." I really shouldn't be shocked I was proven wrong by the internet. Just disappointed really.
4:32 A New Wish still puts him in the credits because he's the creator of the original I guess but I'm pretty sure he's not involved in the new one at all.
from what I've seen, people don't find TTG as annoying as they used to. Yeah it still has obnoxious jokes but it's not the spawn of Satan. And the movie is actually considered not bad. This guy really is stuck in the past lmao
God, that inclusion of uncle ruckus in that compilation always cracks me up. It isn’t inherently wrong to like characters that are the worst people imaginable (cartman and master shake are some of my favorite characters) but it really doesn’t help prove your “I’m not racist” case when that’s your pick out of ANY other character from The Boondocks.
As a TMNT fan I really hate when people use the race-swapping argument with April. For one, the whole deal with TMNT ever since the 1987 cartoon is that it constantly has fresh takes on the characters, which can include race swaps (like when Baxter Stockman was infamously changed from a black man to a white guy). Second, people laud the 1987 cartoon version of April as "the original" when that wasn't actually the original. The idea that she was black in Mirage Comics TMNT, her actual original appearance, is indeed a myth, and she was white there aside from a couple of instances in which she was given darker skin or looked closer to a black woman. She did, however, have some multicultural inspirations that are worth noting: at one point she was conceived as Asian and her name was inspired by a black woman. April is also one of the least consistent characters in TMNT adaptations anyway. In Mirage, 2003, and IDW, she was an assistant scientist to Baxter Stockman, but the 1987 cartoon made her a news reporter, and in TMNT 2012 she's got special powers. At that point why not get mad about those very significant details to change about her, rather than race which was pretty insignificant in comparison?
Great, detailed Insight on April You know the character Hun, Leader of the Purple Dragons from TMNT 2003 cartoon series? Hun did appear in TMNT 2012, and he was race-swapped to be Asian. He looks more like Bruce Lee. And Hun also appears in the recent Tales of TMNT Mayhem Cartoon series. Where he was race-swapped to be Hispanic. I find it interesting that people don’t angry when Hun gets Race-swapped compare how they reacted when April gets race-swapped.
As someone who has his own stark opinions on raceswapped characters (I don't think changing a character's race makes a reboot/remake bad, but I will not say a white character being given melanin deserves praise either), it's funny to claim a revival raceswapped 2 entirely different characters. It's like non-comic readers thinking She-Hulk is a genderswapped Bruce Banner.
My opinion is that, I don't really care about the whole "representation" angle of it. I just think raceswapping should be allowed because anyone should be allowed to play who they want if race isn't important, and to prevent such is discriminatory.
@@Gametoon05I think the only time I haven’t seen people complain about an old character being race swapped is Gaz from CoD. He was some irrelevant dude bro that only existed in one game, and the Gaz we got from MW 2019 onwards is a completely different character. So even then, I’m not sure if Gaz was raceswapped…
"Being an adult and saying something ruins your childhood because you don't like it is a very embarrassing take to have." You should get a Nobel Peace Prize for saying this and no I'm not even close to joking. Every time I hear something ruined someone's childhood I cringe so hard I can feel my teeth cracking. It needs to stop because there are worse things in life then not liking a show or movie.
8:13 did we suddenly forget that there was an episode of the original fairly odd parents where cosmo and wanda got a smartphone and kept yelling, "Ducklips!" And making ducklips at the camera (Y'know, several years after it became outdated). It's not just a reboot thing, it was a " the animation writers wanna reference something they didn't realize was outdated." Thing.
There’s literally so many reasons to hate the live action remake of Little Mermaid, but their singing isn’t one of them. Actually, it’s one of the only redeeming factors for me.
@@brawler5760 A lot of the songs got kinda butchered but not through the lack of vocal talent but through the lack of vocal direction and generic instrumentals.
His whole original video was just contradictory of itself. Saying how he viewed certain characters as not black but then proceed to view Hazel, a completely new character, as a “raceswapped” Timmy is just hypocritical
Aint No way that man said Halle and Rachel can't sing?!!!?!?!?! Of every awful take that guy said, this is the one that genuinely caught me of guard. Wth?!?!?!?!?!?
14:06 Hell, he's also wrong about 'these people' being too 'uncreative' to make their own original stories. Because we have been getting original shows with diverse leads and casts. Off the top of my head, we got The Owl House, Amphibia, Craig of the Creek, Dead End: Paranormal Park and Blue-Eyed Samurai. No matter how guys like A.S.K. Air try to sugarcoat it or delude themselves, it's plain as day they're just mad about seeing more and more non-white guys in leading roles.
11:55 This part of his video still shocks me (no put intended) because even without the example you provided the show literally starts with a party and a bunch of black teenagers killed by cops or ended up mutating and getting powers grom these cops aiming at barrels full of nasty chemicals. It cannot be any more in the nose this was a not so subtle refrence to how black people deal with racial profiling. Lots of villains ended up being villains in the show because of the resentment they have because of that event. Has he ever actually watched the show?
Correction it was not a party it was a legitimate gang war. Those people were fighting. Point still stands though that Static Shock is a show that has race as a key part of its identity, and people trying to say they never saw, noticed, or thought Static's race was important are ridiculous
10:38 I think what he's trying to say is that he sees these characters as more than just their ethnicities, the problem is he completely turns this point on its head right after he tries to argue with it while also insinuating that a black characters mere existence is inherently done for needless "race swapping" which is almost borderline racism
