i also love how people are so angry and that some characters are played by black characters when skin colour is irrelevant to their character but helps with representation.
whitewashing in media has been a thing since forever but somehow we’re not getting angry over it (:
People are upset just for the sake of being upset.
It seems it has become hobby for some.
It isn’t a thing because the majority of people consuming movies in the western world are white and straight. Why do you want so hard to shove your SJW agenda down entertainment? You can watch all the gay black women characters you want, I’m not interested and never will be no matter how hard the entertainment industry wants me to be. Look at the female version of Ghostbusters, it was an absolute dumpster fire. Was it because the lead characters were female? No, it was because that was their entire point of the movie, look, we have female lead characters, and a garbage movie, aren’t we progressive?
A good all female lead movie is “The Descent”, was it good because the cast was entirely female? No, it was good because it had a good interesting story and believable performances from the actresses. But you SJW people just wan’t represantation, you don’t want actual quality entertainment, as long as somebody is gay black and female you’re happy, even if the script of the movie is worse then what a 5 year old could dream up.
The movies you mentioned are absolute garbage, just as Thor is (led by a white, blonde and blue eyed man), is equal amounts of garbage. Generic superhero movie #473465 is not something to be proud of to have representation in.
Exactly this.
But like black blood elves apparently “something I don’t have a problem with personally” coincidentally leads people to argue loops and bends as to why it’s a bad thing and why it is this, not all the other lore shifts weve had, but this thing that coincidentally happens to include diversity that is a massively huge problem.
It’s not the fact people’s opinions differ that bothers me, it’s all of the bad faith disingenious arguing they use to back it up to try and make it look like their opposition isn’t rooted in dislike of the introduced diversity.
it isn’t but what i personally don’t want to see is, as in ESO, how practically overnight 50% of npcs started batting for the other team and every quest is a guy asking you to collect flowers for his departed husband, or a female asking you to rescue her wife from bandits, yeeuch…
do it yes but do it properly…-.-
sincerity isn’t much to ask for is it?
Why would we be angry? My country is majority white, more then 90% depending on where you live, it’s only natural that most of the media would cater to those who consume it. Do you think I care about the fact that white people aren’t represented as much in non white countries? You sound really self hating tbh.
Well Avengers movie Nick Fury was mostly based on the Ultimate universe Nick Fury who was black, where Sam Jackson was spot on for the role. That beeing said Mr Jackson did not play an acurate represantation of original Nick Fury, white Nick Fury is like an a^^hole James Bond (formal atitude), while UU Nick is more like Sam’s representation with the sass and all that. Also fun fact to what happened to the white Nick Fury in the comics, he got turned into a villain and got replaced by his secret black son whos name is Nick Fury junior who is also missing an eye, i kid you not google it.
No, true enough.
How about black King Arthur?
Or black Roland of Gilead?(Sad part, in the books there was actually a black woman, in a wheelchair, from the 1960s, with a split personality disorder, actually one of the cooler characters in the books, didn’t make it into the movie At all)
Or about the new Marvel heroes, that are actually copy old marvel heroes but with some other atributes.
No, I don’t think there’s an agenda here in this case, but I was more speaking in general, most of the time it’s forced, and with forced comes cringe.
I personally believe that if you’re going to implement a character, in whatever medium, and it’s sole defining trait is skincolor or sexual orientation, the one doing so is really not doing the people that character is supposed to represent any good favors. This is just going by my own experience, I also had to deal with allot of prejudices, and sometimes still do, mostly I can laugh it off, as it isn’t harmfull, but sometimes it’s really annoying or even downright insulting.
the only thing that really bothered me personally in this thread is my first post getting flagged, because it was offensive of inapropriate, and I don’t see why that is the case? The only thing I gather is that my own views go against the mainstream, or people that think I should believe and think a certain way in line of who or what I am. - Sort of Like Joe Biden saying; ‘If you don’t vote for me, you’re not black!’ /smile
Ergo, you think and say what I want you to think and say- wich sounds like fascism to me.
My bad misuse of the term “shoehorned” but point still stands new characters or not. Its PC nonsense and adds nothing to the story. As you say if it was wife it wouldn’t be any different it adds nothing its just “because”
no need to be so angry over this. i actually enjoyed black panther, not because it was an all black cast, but it because it had an amazing story, beautiful cinematography and likeable characters.
i loved wonder woman and captain marvel, not because they were all female lead, but because i simply enjoyed the storylines.
also, what part of my comments came off as if im self-hating lmao? listen dude, there’s this thing called privilege, which i’m more than happy to use to advocate for minorities.
Ofcourse. Why are black characters being introduced now? Is it because the playerbase suddenly shifted to majority black? No. It’s cause Blizzard wants to virtue signal, nothing else. Do I really care personally? No. Do I think it’s a lame way to try to be “muh progressive” “muh diversity” “muh representation”? Yes.
I don’t think you get my drift, so I’ll rephrase it for you : I have already been to more than one gay pride.
So whenever you have better arguments, I’ll be there for you.
Then you have a horrible taste in movies. Sorry. The MCU is to the world of cinema what the Big Mac is to the world of cuisine.
Yes, you’re clearly self-hating. You hate your “white privilege” so much that you wanna do all you can to please brown people. It’s pathetic and not a single brown person would respect you for it.
You’re not special, unique, or progressive because you feel ashamed over being white, you’re just a part of the current mainstream that tells you to feel this way, and you swallowed it whole.
Oh this isn’t happening though - it’s two gay NPCs.
lmao, i don’t hate that i’m white wtf ??? lol, you’re reaching so much right now ex dee
also, i’m not sorry for enjoying mcu movies every now and then and not being a snob lmao. i enjoy many types of movies, from citizen kane to mean girls. good movies are good movies, regardless of their genre.
Guys stop roasting the homophobes, I can only like so many posts 
If you have children in the future and educate them with your own ideas and thoughts they will be like these people in the video. They are gonna kiss lgbt and black feet constantly and scream “freeedooom, humaaan riights”.

Have we moved on to shaming foot fetishists now?
It must be stressful to be so hateful all of the time.
When the word “Privilege” begins to be thrown around those using it lose any argument that they try to make with it. The argument of privilege ignores the fact that the majority of those in the “majority” do not have the privilege that gets spoken of, however a majority of those in the “minority” has the privilege of being able to say/do things to those in the majority with little to no consequence in the majority of cases.
