Other than an artistic choice, this means...next to nothing? Her skin tone is just that...a skin tone. This isn’t the first change.
And, further, given that the concept of white having any sort of meaning in a world that has nothing to do with ours is semi-retarded.
This is just...stupid.
I say this as someone who is a “POC” before you SJW types just on me for having a fucking opinion.
Marvel is no longer creating, they are checking boxes on diversity list. Kill off, remove or, shuffle off to the side interesting, original characters that fit your fucking diversity quotas, and…
Wait, wait...weebs...have nothing to offer society.
That’s odd, because I thought the reason we have video games as like...you know, a major thing, is because of two Japanese countries. I thought a good number of the most iconic games and characters were made in Japan.
I thought you were on a site called Kotaku...cuz,…
I suppose, but it in this particular instance, it doesn’t have any influence over any other points, correct? I mean...Asexual...without sexual attraction. I guess I don’t get how one can say asexual and say you are on the same spectrum, when your very sexual identity says you lack that defining characteristic.
Wouldn’t that be more of you not being on the graph at all? I mean, even if we assumed that sexuality operated on an X/Y axis, you’d be 0,0. You aren’t sexually attracted to anyone, they might be sexually attracted to you, but (presumably) that ends up with this multiply by zero situation (no matter how great their…
Er...if sexuality is a spectrum, isn’t everyone on it, just not those that lean strongly to one side or the other? That has always struck me as odd. It’s not like being something other than straight puts you in a different category of sexuality. It’s like, “Likes males or females to varying degrees...or, you…
At least she didn’t get off easy for being a woman. Nice to see.
Or, or...hear me out...it could be because War Machine has never been as popualar as Iron Man, Rhodey has never been as popular as Tony, and Marvel isn’t stupid enough to shoot another fucking cash cow.
Or, you know, racism. That makes just as much sense. *rolls eyes*
You remind me of the kids that I went to school…
I wonder if you talk like that in real life, or if you are just trolling. Or maybe they are the same thing?
But, seriously, as a minority, I’d rather see “people like me” get treated as real entities, rather than special snowflakes. Get out of here with that weak, pearl-clutching bullshit.
Oh, wait, I stopped caring about when Bendis says after he claimed that somehow black kids can’t pretend to be Spider-Man.
I’m gonna season my food for life with all the salt this creates here! #schadenfreude
Kotaku posts an article about censorship and doesn’t put censorship in quotes or make it sound like the notion is ludicrous. I’m shocked.
...When did cringeworthy become a buzzword?
But I thought Kotaku lived to shame people? I’m so confused.
God...it must be amazing to be this stupid. I bet the world is just stellar for you.
Mass disliking of new CoD? Eh, it happens, no big deal. Mass disliking of new Ghostbusters? MUH SEXISMS
Yet.
Blah blah blah, unrealistic portrayals of female bodies, patriarchy, fat acceptance, blah blah blah.
They did a test. Oooo. In other words, they said, “Hey, is this a good idea?” Result: nah. So, no, it’s not the equivalent of yellow face, because it didn’t happen. The casting choice isn’t indefensible, it is merely something that twists the panties of people that are, essentially, racists who get pissed when someone…
It should have been a dude. I mean, there’s precedent for Makoto being in a male body, so why not?
But seriously, for an entire story that is built around the concept of identity, how malleable that is, what it means to be someone, and the natural and unnatural limits placed on humanity, it seems sort of short sighted…
