Why Forced Woke Diversity is Dying 

if you could cover how diversity could be implemented right that would be interesting

​@@happyphiri4237 make new stories. Easy. It's been suggested for many years

@@WiseOwl_1408 like original concepts??? no changing old stories like famous comics and that?

I could care less if a character's race swapped or whatever, so long as the character development and story development is enjoyable! I'd even take snake eyes as an example that could've worked even with the race swap if they stayed true to the character being mute and mysterious (like they did in GI Joe Renegades.)

@@ZackarySchejbalCODBO2RGM2 or like nick fury

I agree

It is because they no longer have any creativity. They're just daddy's boys stuffed with money, with no skills, who commit to each other! American showbiz is an inbred environment

@Raf SR is it too late to use thanos's culling method but instead of it being random, we're specifically going after the talentless people in Hollywood and the industry.

@@EndymionTv The real answer is because of CHINA. The USA went woke to stop Africa from dealing with the East with China, it didn't work.

I mean yeah, this being problematic is part of the point. I get that making a new character would make everyone happier. But the goal of these race swaps isn't to make people happy. It's literally to make people hate each other to the point they start killing each other. You need to realize that there are only really two groups of people in the process of these race swaps. The ones who are scared of catching any flak so they just let others do whatever they want, and the ones who believe that everything is political and so do this to either demoralize for the sake of instigating collapse and revolution or rewrite history in order to make one group (whites) less likely to fight back.

It’s low key racist & they’re basically saying they only see value in white characters. When they should focus on established black characters & making new ones. But they’re lazy

@@EndymionTv I personally think it is higher than low key.

@Low Distortion Yup. It's funny because when I rail against this, some ideologues will quickly assume I'm white because of my name(LOL). I find racially swapping a character particularly gross because the creative capital could have been spent making a new character. Mindy Kalling in particular, infuriates me with Velma. Did she think she was appealing to every other Indian and me by racially swapping Velma. If anything, she's made us look horrible, like laughing stock. It's why I loved Mohinder in Season one of Heroes because he was awesome and just happened to be Indian, and why I'm working hard on my own original character who is Indian as well(focusing on making him a GOOD character). All in all, this woke casting stuff all it's doing is excaberating racism out there. They want to put us into boxes as opposed to valuing us as individuals. I'm not going to sit here and say raciism doesn't exist or there are not serious problems. But if you want true diversity(thought, perspectives etc.), you must be authentic about it. Actually make a character who can appeal to the general public as opposed to just a niche crowd, and focus on WHO they are not WHAT they are.

@@EndymionTv Not only is it not at all low key, it's blatant racism. But also, you think it's low key racist because it only shows value in white characters...? Not because, *you know,* it treats white characters as expendable merely because of their race...? I hope i'm misunderstanding you, because if not then your morals are completely f*cked... That's a woke mentality, same level as "men die in war, women most affected" and all that crap. (albeit for a less serious topic, obviously)

So you ok with whitewashing

They are basically saying we are all too stupid to relate to characters unless they look exactly like me. I’m a guy and growing up and even now I always loved Ellen Ripley from Alien and Sarah Connor from Terminator. They were complex characters with compelling story arcs who were also incredibly well acted. James Cameron didn’t have to go on TV and call them bad ass girl bosses. We all could tell they were bad asses nobody needed to tell me.

Exactly this. As for me, I am white, but when I go and watch something that was made by people on the other side of the world, I'm not gonna sit here and cry there are almost no whites in it. And and all race bs aside this is just a simple logic. If something is happening in China, I expect Chinese people. If it's in Europe or USA, I expect predominantly white people. If in Africa, I expect mostly Africans... because that's how geography and history works. Also it's much more fun when things are more relatable instead of some diverse mishmash that has no substance and history behind it. tl;dr New writers are shit at their job.

Are you a T or something? Women shouldn't want to be men and vice versa.

Exactly, Ellie from the last of us is one of my all time favorite characters and I read every day.

Tolkien was ahead of his time

too bad amazon didn't have the rights to that line xD

@@SadoMessiahLP And anyway, it wasn't dialogue I don't think. It was just Tolkien describing Melkor

🎯

That is antisemitic.

I am slavic... I always wondered why I like Darth Vader so much

Respect, man.

I love Peter Parker because nothing goes right for him, but he keeps trying. He is the personification of struggling integrity.

Same here. Grew up reading Spider-Man comics in the 80s. Love the Star Wars films too. Never once looked at those or any other characters and thought "I can't relate to them in any way because they don't look like me". I dislike how things are going in the world today.

I am mexican, but when I saw Blade I wanted black sunglasess and kill vampires.

Couldn’t have said it better yourself

ironically this obsession with race did more harm than anything to that feeling of connection I felt as a kid

Cause it’s just damn true! I watched Regular show all the time when I was a kid, I related a lot to Mordecai and Rigby cause much like them I hated working (Or in my case going to school) and just wanted to sit on my ass all day and play games or draw. It didn’t matter that they were canonically 20 years older than me or a friggen anthropomorphic blue jay and raccoon.

I really wish it could go back to coming naturally instead of the focus.

@@CuntNuggets Yes. 100% Yes.

I still have to see a show like that's so raven

Agreed, woke people pretend there was no diversity before race swaps, but they turn a complete blind eye to all the evidence to the contrary

Im white and love some black actors and brilliant roles back in time things work much better than this woke shit respect bro

Thanks for being understanding about it! We all deserve representation but it shouldn’t be at the expense of others. Hopefully people understand that

Exactly. If they want to create more stories with black characters. Maybe a film or show about the Great Zimbabwe Bird civilisation. I would pay to watch that.

as a black man too I agree and the people who actually swap characters are people who actually don't care about the original identities They just want "to connect with the audience"

@@happyphiri4237 but they’re not connecting with us they are showing us how they see us

Starting all your sentences by "as a [insert identity here]...", you're perpetuating wokeness and identity politics. A good point is a good point regardless of who makes it. Your identity should have no bearing on your point so there is literally no reason to mention it. "The sky on Earth is blue" ... Am I a Martian? Doesn't matter, it's still true... Unless you live in the UK and then it's grey... but you get my point.

At least there is Black Widow 😂

@PrincessLockette not discounting that at all. Actually one of my favorites in comics and the MCU. And Scarjo playing her is cool too

Well somewhat. I will never relate to a woman, an asian, a hispanic, or a ghey.

As a guy I used to watch Wonder Woman on TV. Miles Morales in the Spider-verse movies is black. I felt every ounce of emotion he endured on his heroes journey. They did his character right. His dad however, is woke. Did you spot it? In the first movie his name was Jefferson Davis. In the second movie, his name was Jefferson Morales. He took the name of his wife, Miles' mom. Apparently she was a single mother until some time between the movies, and he was just the live-in baby daddy. Now a soy boy. Not a strong family message there.

@@protorhinocerator142 Miles Morales is not blk, you need two blk parents to have a blk child the same way you need two yt parents to make a yt child.

The only good slavic character i remember is Michel Strogoff.

I’m glad I not the only one noticing the odd pattern

@@toheekang174it’s become so generic, cliched and basically painted a lot of Slavic people in a bad light. The only positive depiction of a couple of Slavic characters is from Resident Evil Damnation, and this released was back in Japan of 2012.

If a slavic character is not evil, he is a drunk idiot because "haha vodka"

Does anyone remember Linka from Captain Planet and Colossus from X-Men? Those characters never felt shoehorned, they were simply a part of the team, full of common sense to offset their "act first, think later" Western counterparts.

Right. Diversity to them is only skin-deep. There is no such thing as diversity of culture or diversity of thought 🙄

I don’t think that’s true though

​@@Deadman7600.what you think is irrelevant.

@@the_even_toed_ungulate. you have literally said nothing here. If you’re not smart enough to add anything to the conversation then maybe consider not commenting so you don’t look stupid.

making every character "themself"

When I was a kid in the 1970s I used to watch a show called "Good Times", in which a black family struggled to pay the bills and maintain their virtue in a world which treated them poorly. Even though all white people on the show were either dumb, racist, or both, I still enjoyed it because I could relate to the struggle and found the colorful characters entertaining. I also got life lessons about making difficult choices and putting character before personal gain at others' expense. Some things are universal.

@@steveouk90126 exactly. I love the OG Roseanne. I related to them because they were also poor and struggled financially. Especially the episode where their lights are cut off. I’ve been there growing up. Yet my family is Puerto Rican. Also loved Crooklyn, I was an only boy in a predominantly female house and Troy was a girl in a predominantly male household. I related to her and how she interacted with her brothers. Some one said “strive for a universal story and you will attract everyone”

Hal & Jon are the best Lanterns 1000% 🔥

Static shock was good. Loved that one

Jon Stewart for life. I remember when I watched justice league as a kid, good times.

I loved both of those shows so much! Good times.

I loved static shock. at least the cartoon I never read the comics. the gun episode still sticks with me.

They just like the idea of helping others but they don’t actually do it. It’s the same thing when it comes to supporting super sike products. They’ll tell everybody to buy or support it so they don’t have to. It’s all pointless virtue signaling

@Just a turtle Then it really shows who they are as individuals and really you're better off without them. These clowns only pay lip service; I doubt any of your friends ever put that lip service into reality. Having volunteered at nursing homes and in general, it provides such a valuable insight onto the world. Because the truly sad part is none of these folks will ever back up what they say. They will preach and preach; because all they want is to LOOK good; without DOING good.

They don't want to help people, or make the world a better place, they just want likes on social media and the spotlight on them for dopamine hits

SJW are the biggest hypocrites in the world.

Probably because they believe in Solidarity, not charity.

i like the buff man from Jujutsu Kaisen and want to be strong just like him is that bad

We live in a clown world, I'm afraid.

As Mexican when I watch marvel movies and power rangers I always loved the paragon heroes and cool anti heroes. Most of them were white characters but I didn’t like them because they were Mexican or black I liked them for their morals and traits

I need my fictional characters to look and sound EXACTLY like me otherwise I can't stan

Right? I'm a white straight woman. I relate more to male characters far more often female characters. Shit, Steve Urkle was someone I related to growing up. Christina Ricci's Wednesday Addams is one of few female characters I have ever related to. Her and Daria, lol. Just because someone shares your race, sex, or sexuality, it doesn't mean you can relate to him.

As a standard middle-European white guy my favorite Spider Man so far is Into the Spiderverse's Miles Morales. If anything, I see too much of myself in the overweight, lazy, sweatpants-wearing white guy Peter B Parker -.-

Rather they act as if black can never be racist, that white is only racist, and that white deserves to be punished for existing. With asian being the other white.

I've seen infinitely more racism happen in my Hispanic community. If one white dude does it then it's like jackals fighting over a leg

they haven't forgotten they just don't want to admit it

Blacks, hispanics, and asians can and are racist as shit. Try visiting China or South Korea as a black man, hell in China the light skinned Chinese discriminate against the darker skinned Chinese. Blacks and hispanics talk mad shit about white people. Most attacks on hispanics and asians are done by blacks. The list about racism from all groups goes on and on.

Asians being the most racist towards blacks.

The saying “anyone can cook” always stuck with me. And I can be used for more than just cooking. Greatness can come from anywhere. All this wisdom from a movie about a cooking rat haha. It’s just great story telling

That's how I felt with Disney's Mulan even though I'm a white girl. She is flawed and clumsy but by using her brain she saved all of China. I saw myself in her because I'm autistic and like her don't fit in but I have a good brain on my head and I use it to overcome my personal opticals.

@@TheMormonSorceress wow you must hate the new mulan then, given it turned her from a resourceful, intelligent warrior who still had to learn, into a immediate perfect fighter who only has to learn not to hold back against others, all due to her superior genetics.

"HE'S A RAT" got me bro

Not to mention kidnapping the health inspector, and the former head Chief was funny and also terrifying, because I thought for years rats are that smart.

I am in no way a white, Caucasian boy from America, however he has always held a sweet spot in my heart. I have seen his mindset, worldview, personality, experiences, struggles etc. and-ever since I was young-looked up to him as a result because _he is like me._ He made me point at the screen and say "He reminds me of myself" on many different occasions. (As ppl say nowadays: 'he just like me fr') Yeah, he doesn't LOOK like me, but the character is what's most important. Tbh, I can even say the same thing about Naruto (despite me not being a blonde, blue-eyed, Japanese male ninja with whiskers) and many, many more. Relatability goes beyond appearance and where they're from and unfortunately many people miss that point nowadays.

@@fuzzbutt4551 💯💯💯

Exactly. I'm a woman and I consume a lot of fantasy and scifi books. Most of the main characters in this type of litterature is young adult men, teenage boys, male main characters. That means I've learned to see myself in them in various ways that may not refer to gender, looks or abilities (because I mean as much as id like i cant do magic..) and I still enjoy the content. I think it's important to learn to see yourself in a variety of characters no matter if they look like you or not.

@@Tetragnathidae Long as we're on the subject of Sci-Fi, one of my favorite characters is and will always be Ellen Ripley!!!🙌

Yup.

Hell yeah and his look is so badass. I need him in Fortnite cause I can’t control myself

​@@EndymionTv fortnite?! This is very harmful for your street cred

I only see skin color when a race swap happens. Original characters are just that.

Soul Calibur 2 on Xbox

I think this was one of the first comics I bought starting at 1 and decided I was a collector, the art was dope for its time. Image Comics was so fresh.

You know that "article" was faked, right? Toriyama-sama hardly ever does interviews.

@@GamerMinilla Still though I wouldn't be surprised if he actually said that.

Any kid will try a Kamehameha despite their skin colour. Hell my fav character is majin buu and he is technically healing pink goo and according to mordern view point i cant see myself as him lol.

that shit is fake lol

Japanese people are overly based. They had not-usual sexual characters since the 70's and nobody cared about. Sailor Moon had lesbians. Ranma 1/2 was about a sex changing (or "genderfluid", since changed with water) character. Hunter x Hunter had a lot of unknown sex characters. Take for example Neferpitou. Nobody knows if that's a he a she or something in between. Sometimes it's called with one others with the other. Japanese creators don't care about "your feelings" they care about profit. If for you profit is less important than *_DA MESSAGE_* then you're just r3t4rded.

I mean you’re not wrong 😂😩

​@@EndymionTv wish I was haha

Capitalism’s wokeness is making people rich

Magneto may very well be my favorite Marvel character. I intensely relate to his views of you were to apply them to the real world.

all these people at hollywood are so out of touch and have an agenda, it's honestly sad

For me, the character who most resonated with me has always been Commander Data from Star Trek TNG. An android with gold skin, but he was trying to learn from other humans. I have Aspergers and I am Schizophrenic so normal human interaction is a huge puzzle for me, I tend to watch others interact, wondering why certain behaviours result in certain results, but I don't feel the need to try it for myself. Watching and learning from others is enough for me.

@@micahrutland9021 Agreed, I always felt some pity for magneto as I thought he really wanted to help mutants

I would like to know your opinion about Warpath. Growing up, he was the only native superhero I knew of in comics.

Woke nazis are actually worse than ww2 nazis at this point

The people in power need us to be decided because that's the only way they can continue to take advantage of the people

yet most characters are white so clearly it matters

@@lifeline.6144 Most Disney characters were white during their Renaissance because their stories were stolen from classic European folk tales. Guess what color most Europeans tend to be? Most comics characters are white because back in the day comics were a lot like early fighting game characters where they were just super stereotypes of their place of origin, and most writers and artists wrote and drew what they knew, which tended to be New York and California. Which at the time, were majority white. Most popular media is made by Americans, which has been a majority-white country for over 200 years, or European, which has been a majority-white continent for millennia. Or East Asian, who see pale skin as a sign of wealth and prestige, and therefore beauty. What is your complaint?

I agree with you. I'm a brown woman (pakistani) and growing up I usually consumed international media and never I thought "b..but he isn't a brown woman!! I'm feel so discriminated" that's just weird plus growing up I really loved Dragon ball z and I thought vegeta was super cool I didn't have a crush on him I just genuinely thought he was sick and I didn't have to be a Japanese man to just enjoy something. These people are forgetting that enjoying a show doesn't depend on the gender or race of a main character the story does. Sadly the thing is the creators think that diversity=profit and they know that people will defend their show just because it had a black trans lesbian women with disabilities in it and even if they don't they still will get hate watchers helping them profit off the show.

👍

I'm not white, and I relate to the Flash because we're both runners, we have similar interests, our favorite GL is Hal, and we both love nerd culture. To think that you can relate to a person based on skin color or gender doesn't leave a lot of options open and only makes you more narrow-minded.

I'm just a white dude but I loved fast and the furious growing up and I thought Vin diesel was great in it. I had no trouble identifying with him despite him being half black.

of course, you don't need it, but it definitely adds a whole other level of connection to them.

@@dragonhale2026 Growing up, I saw the neighborhood kids doing the same thing you said. I would see white, male children occasionally fighting over who got to have powers that happened to belong to female and/or non white characters. The ones I noticed were Storm, Blade, Invisible Woman, and even Raven & Starfire. They didn’t care what color or gender the person was at all. They simply liked their awesome powers and enjoyed the works they appeared in. I never heard any of them tell another they couldn’t have a certain character’s powers because they weren’t white or male.

Agreed. People like to point out that X-Men was all about the fight for Civil Rights, and while that is true they did so without beating us over the head with that message. The Characters and Story came first. Through the X-Men I saw people of all Cultures and Backgrounds working together. I also saw that Women could be Strong and Leaders, while also Feminine and Vulnerable. All lessons that are lost on these people. Just to prove how even more wrong they are I am a Masculine Straight White Male who learned all this reading Comics when a Teen in the 90's.

I’m a white dude and I think Blade is awesome, especially Wesley Snipes version, and I also think Ripley from Aliens is badass and a great hero because she’s just a scientist who has to find the courage to fight back against literal killing machines. I don’t need a white male character to inspire me. I just need a well written character, not forced diversity. Woke diversity completely misses the point about creating great characters.

One thing is making fat jokes like jokes of any type of Dark Humor. Other is going with fat people and saying "HAHA YOU SC-MBAG YOU SHOULD D13" Nobody is defending that. I think it's very obvious.

They talk about obessity like if it was something you were born with. Like another race or opressed group. And since they act the same way with everyone they can't do much but just encourage self-destruction.

True this is why I loved Evil West from late last year. Just a fun new action game. We need more fun new stuff

Yeah this is why i am against woke culture

Anti-Whiteism will continue until we're dead. That's the basic fact of the matter.

Redheads are truly taking a beating. My friend is a natural redhead and she feels ugly because the message being sent to people with red hair right now is "you're not good enough to keep around."

@@oldkingspook Oh don't worry. Redheads, blondes, eventually all of us Whites will be raped and killed to extinction. Ever hear of Rhodesia? Doesn't exist anymore. South Africa? Whites are specifically targeted and there's a crime against them each and every day. It's over.

@@oldkingspook honestly makes me wonder why it’s mostly redheads being race swapped though… like does some higher up in Hollywood despise red heads or something? It’s very bizarre…

it's all about bringing about a certain political ideology...

_Conformity to social views kills art._ This is a bit too simple. Of course you can be fine with the views of the society you live in and still be a good artist. The problem is when artists are bound to or tend to at all costs avoid outraging parts of the public. If so, art becomes more cowardly and less powerful.

@@jensphiliphohmann1876 You make a good point. I feel like you kinda described a scenario that further shows my point though. When you force yourself to accept the status quo and you are afraid to make art (of any kind) that might “upset” people then that places limits on your creative process. This allows only a certain group of people who hold views and values deemed “socially acceptable” to get recognition. Think of all the projects that don’t see the light of day because they would be deemed vulgar by the public. Not all art is sunshine and rainbows sometimes art is designed to make you FEEL emotionally, and sometimes that emotion might be disgust or discomfort. It’s supposed to move you! (Sorry for all my grammar mistakes 🙃)

The problem isnt that creators want to do this. The problem is that money men like Blakc Rock, Set Street and Vanguard CEO have developed this point system, where they award actual woke points to something, and if something has more woke points, the Morte money they will give. So if you make a movie that has a stupid white character, and a smart sassy black one, you have a point. Letssay your movie has a Climate Change message, you have another point. Maybe your movie makes fun of Christian tradition, or conservative people, you get another point. A family with 2 moms and no dad, another point....etc.

if you relate to this clown you probably make shit art to begin with😂

You really think the writers would think of that?

The only people offended are white people and people that want attention. They are over correcting to make up for the backlash they received in 2016.

As an Hispanic myself I consider Speedy one of my favorite characters in the looney toons

Okay, some of y’all are taking this a little too far/personally. I mean y’all really fat-shaming a black fictional character 😭 because she’s not white. I hate forcing diversity into media through rewriting history since it’s obviously disrespectful & demeaning asf to basically say viewers can’t have an OG diverse character. But it’s a really good looking KIDS movie. It’s no Spider-Verse but it’s got potential for sure. Yet everyone is dislike bombing it and talking shit because of 1 single character. This is 100% overreacting man. This is why nothing ever changes because y’all are sending this abrasive message that y’all seemingly HATE diversity altogether (acting like actual bigots) rather than sending the message that you simply hate minority-washing/forced diversity and don’t want to be pandered to. TLDR: If this is how y’all are gonna react to a single character rewrite in an otherwise fantastic looking KIDS movie, then buckle up cuz you’re looking at being pissy asf for the next half a century at least.

@@matthewui5034 i think you’ve vastly misunderstood most of everything being discussed here. regardless if the movie looks good, if it has troubling implications and the like, it should and will get backlash, because is allows for actions like what’s being taken here to be considered “okay” when in reality it’s just making the primary issue worse. the issue here is primarily like what was discussed, the forced diversity and pandering by changing existing characters to meet those diversity goals isn’t something people wish to see. when you make an established character into what’s essentially an entirely different character, people are going to notice, they’re going to point it out, and you’re going to have to ask yourself, “why did they do this when they could’ve simply made another character for it?” that’s why people really liked Into the Spiderverse, because not only was the movie designed and directed very well, but Miles was truly his own character with his own personality, background, and story, and all of that was achieved without having to change how Peter looked and acted. they were kept separate characters and the directors and writers put the time and effort into truly diversifying Miles and making him his own character, instead of taking the lazy route of just recoloring an existing character and saying that it meets the diversity quota, and you do not achieve real diversity by writing over existing things. that’s the troubling implications being put forth, it’s not that people are mad at having diversity, it’s about the troubling routes that studios are taking to attempt to achieve that diversity.

That can especially be seen with brands, such as Aunt Jemima syrup.

My God this world is ending

You're out here complaining about a lack of "pure unadulterated creativeness", and yet you have a problem with the reimagination of folktale characters as queer. It sounds like YOU'RE the one who's against pure unadulterated creativeness.

@@lasantabibliaparanino3795 Lol because black and gay people exist?

@@mackayladavis4021 Can't you read? They said their friends did that.

@@Saltedroastedcaramel And??? Their friend reimagined European folklore characters as gay. That's creativity. And this commentor is against it, all while lamenting about the supposed demise of "pure unadulterated creativity".

I want you to show him Magneto in the comics (mega buff) & Magneto in the movies (old coot),try to get him to list off the diffrences.Make him realise that the actor's CHARISMA is far more important that accuracy. Alternatively.Get him to play Mass Effect,& make him explain hom much impact gender or melanin has. Or get him to read those "Men of Reddit,what're yor moments with s3xism" posts,or the Tvtropes article about the same thing. One way or the other,he has to realise m4le,h3tero YPIPO aren't the IRL Mary Sues he thinks they are.

Logic always hurts when it challenges our misconceived pre-conceptions.

what about heimdal needs him to stay white for his character to work? because making black panther white takes his whole character away and i’m sure heimdal wouldn’t hurt if they were turned a different skin color. that’s the problem it’s so stupid people think they’re making a good argument by saying “wHy dOnT wE cHanGe tHe sKiN cOlOr oF BlaCk ChaRctErsz?!?” what if i told you THE WHOLE POINT OF THEM BEING ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHITE IS BECAUSE LITERALLY A VAST MAJORITY OF CHARACTERS ARE WHITE

@@sard1nez You left your Capslock on.

I actually didn't know about that title. Personally so long as the race of the character isn't directly tied to the story then changing the race for a better actor is fine. For characters like black panther who is the leader of a nation of black folks, making him white wouldn't make sense

The day someone tries to reply to this by trying to appeal to you with how cool it would be to have a black Mario: "Bitch, please tell the Japanese people who made Mario pseudo-Italian how racist they are and see how quickly they come to their senses on you. I'll wait."

It is crazy isn't it, the most racist people are the people who obsess over race all the time. The corporate media is a prime example of that.

Nice. Mario is amazing true

Sorry. I can't relate to LGBT or female characters no matter what.

That's one of the beautiful things about fairy tales. They weren't about the kinds of people that really existed, they were fantasy - more than what we could ever be, and it was lovely. A nice little dream to think of for a bit. You know, like 'Snow White', the fairest in the land, to the point someone would poison her out of envy.

Thank you for watching! And cheers

Que cool ver otro paisano que ame Spawn!

​@@EndymionTvMy dude, I'm Serbian, from Belgrade, and much respect to you, my fellow countryman, for bringing light to WW2 attrocities the Croatians did! Wish you all the best!

@@DarkGellidous Spawn es un chingón! haha aun recuerdo que mi jefa me tiraba los comics por que eran satánicos hahaha, que buenos recuerdos. La neta el mejor antihéroe para mi gusto, es una lastima que este mas o menos olvidado en los medios, una buena serie o una película, sin jaladas woke claro, estaría genial...pero ya lo veo venir, seguramente lo hacen gay o alguna jalada así por que el que de base, Al Simons sea un hombre de color, ya no es suficiente para el mundo "inclusivo".

I think the creator missed the mark on describing this desire, though. The thing isn't that people can't relate to a character not like them, it's that there are some people who can't find ANY characters like them, or only find them rarely. For a personal example, I grew up in a time where, gay men were hyper feminine GBF stereotypes that made/were jokes or part of a tragic teen duo where one or both ended up dead. When shown at all. Seeing a character like me for the first time was a feeling I have never been able to explain since. As a gay man into contact/fighting sports, I quite literally did not see a main-ish character who I related to both in terms of both romantic desires and interests until I was well into university. It even made coming out harder, as I was told multiple times that I couldn't be gay because I didn't "act gay" and that maybe this was stress getting to me. People were literally quicker to medicalize my admission to liking men as something akin to a psychotic break I'd snap back from than to believe I was gay because our media had only a slim stereotype of gay men in niche roles, when we were shown at all. So while yes, you as a white, blue-eyed Slavic girl can love characters of whatever race, that's not what people are talking about when asking for representation. They aren't asking for every character to be exactly like them. They are asking for at least a few characters like them.

Are you an albino? I ask this because even white folks can be albino. I met one kid who genuinely looked like those porcelain dolls chilling out in an antique store

If you know the real story of mulan its more interesting, she was not known as a warrior but as tactician and a general, nobody knew she was a girl until her friends decided to visit her home

…are you saying that it’s the character’s circumstances and story arc that you identify with? Whaaat?

Exactly. I'm Slavic too and most of my faves from childhood were actually *male* characters. But I loved them for their bravery, determination and how genuine their love for their friends and romantic interest would be written/shown. Let's not even touch on how WE as Slavs have no rep at ALL. >.>

Yeah, absolutely once a character is created, it should be canon, concrete, unchangeable. That’s it. It’s not a piece of malleable clay to be changed whenever people run out of other ideas to mold as they see fit to suit their agenda, they should be treated as pieces of art that can be capitalized only as they currently exist, and not as some thing else. This is like the Mona, Lisa, being exactly what she is in the painting, and never changing. Which is how things should be instead developers today might very likely take the Mona Lisa, and turn her into a black or Asian person or whatever they want just to suit their agenda.
