Every time a film, animated series has non-white characters as protagonists, there are always rights complaining and saying that it is woke or when they can’t say that it is woke, then they invent some defect to give hate to the stories?
It’s not paranoia. There are a few people who think “woke” is a bad thing, when it is really not. It’s not just entertaining for audiences to see a large variety of characters, but also reflects the global population and minorities. Most people actually enjoy seeing things from different perspectives and exotic scenarios. People complaining about this are close-minded and boring, but unfortunately think their complaints are a wide spread opinion. They are not.
Can you please ask the question again in Nigeria?
Loud dumb people on the internet?
No, that can’t be.
Those are just morons. We ignore those. And thankfully so does Hollywood and game devs.
I hope you touched wood after saying that.
Morons and the clickbait media industry that wants to give them a platform to spew their hatred because it’s more profitable that way.
That’s why you get these articles filled with tweets from randos as if they represent a sizeable portion or majority of people.
Cis able-bodied white man: normal
Woman, black guy, or gay: “woke”
It’s in reality it’s somewhere in the middle. There aee definitely people out there that don’t want to see anything non white being represented as anything other than subservient to Whites. But on the other side some elements of Hollywood or any production companies use inclusivity as a shield to stamp down any criticism no matter how much is constructive. Because at the end of the day they don’t care about the art they care about their money.
Like for example if you ever read DC comics especially but also another forms of media. They have just been around a long time so it’s more pronounced. You will notice a trend of characters that were Red Headed when inclusivity initiatives were publicized they were the characters that changed to Black.
To me you are just swapping one minority to another and patting yourself on the back. Instead of creating dynamic interesing characters that are three dimensional and just so happens to be Black. A good example of this is Static Shock I don’t like Virgil becase he is Black I like him because he is a kick ass and interesting character that happens to be black. To do any less is no different than the stereotypes from The Song of the South.
Hell look at South Park Tolkien is one of the kids that has his shit together with awesome loving parents and holds his own with the other kids. He is not a stereotype nor is he held up to be symbol of diversity. Hell the joke token calls that out.
So because corporations uses it as a let’s score some points in a hollow cynical way of making money. The small loud voices of bigots are used to get the wider group to come to the products defense for even wider profits for the company.
Because most people are good at least I hope they are and their logic is even if this show is bad I believe in having these voices represented so I will defend it so they make more. To me that’s not good enough those voices need to be respected as well. Not used as a gimmick or a pat on the back. It’s the equivalent of donating a $1000 and spending $1,000,000 publicizing it.
Never a shortage of shitheads being loud. Just ignore them - they don’t deserve your attention for a moment.
Rewrite please?
