Sure, but if this ban passes the internet will just...change. People will move to other places, new communities will form. Someone might even make a competitor app that DOESN’T stink of the CCP. At least I can vote for the US Govt.

This is hardly an apocalypse. Things dont last forever.

You’re running into American Exceptionalism. We expect everyone else to view things the same way as us, and that also means racist stereotypes.

Anyhoo, I agree with you that all of these looks like caricatures to me. I do wonder what prompt made them all fat.

Yea, that opening to the first can break you.

Roguelite is the term you want.

Having a black elf isn’t the problem. Its that their promotional material wouldn’t shut up about it. I couldn’t go 30 minutes online without seeing stuff about how progressive they were with their casting, and how they didnt care about what came before. Quite frankly it was annoying AF, and really turned me off of the…

Depends. Both the LotR show and the Halo show suffered from team who were more concerned with virtue signaling that accuracy to established lore (which IS important), and thats why they sucked.

Cavil might be able to keep them on track for at least a show or two. I have no doubt that Amazon will Marvel Warhammer if it…

Even if they did, that statement is still true.

This is a rational take. America (and its particular history with racism) doesn’t represent the whole world. Africans make up 0.1% of the population, so this probably didn’t even pop up on the PR persons radar if the USA isn’t a targeted demographic.

Alright, make a euro story featuring a new brown or black character. I dont care where it take place.

Hell if Netflix can try to get away with changing a historical figure I think I can too.

Who are “you guys”?

That argument is not bigoted. It’s a very valid point. Equality doesn’t have exceptions. If you want stories featuring black and brown people then make those stories. Show me something new and interesting, or even a new “familiar” thing. Set up a new fantasy world where the majority of the people have dark skin.…

I think your focused on WTC, I am talking about entertainment as a whole.

Imagine it this way. What if I remake Get Out but flipped the cast? Or remake Friday but cast only white dudes? Or redid Malcom X but started the movie with “They can tell you what they want, but Malcom was an Asain man!”. It would suck.

Establis…

Yea, Magic is fine. Im talking about stuff like this set, where they could make new characters (Originality) and make them diverse. Instead it seems easier to take an established character, make them black, and rake in the free “diversity” PR.

Give me something new damnit.

Are there no African stories worth telling? I keep seeing companies changing established characters and lore simply to pander to people and those same people eating it up.

“Look everyone, we made character X is series Y black now! Praise us for diversity in the laziest possible way!”

News Flash: Young people dont watch cable news. Old people do.
Second News Flash: Old people trend conservative.

For a cable news show, this is probably more about survival than politics.

PC gamers do this to ourselves. We need to stop pre-ordering these big games because of a few trailers with cut scenes in them.

But they checked all the boxes....

Personally, every LOTR fan I know watched the first episode and wrote it off as garbage. Its because of them that I never watched it. You cant anger the core fanbase for a product then get surprised they didnt stick around to finish it. They will talk shit, and turn away other people.

D…

Disney has a Morality clause in its contracts. Majors is probably out, I wonder who they will make the new Kang.

Two big ifs. I wonder what happens the first time someone from congress misses a meeting because of a false-positive? Also, what happens when it breaks? Does the car just let you drive or is the whole system completely locked out? And if the car does default to letting you drive whats to stop a drunk from just…
