Hello, time traveler from 2008! Clearly you are woozy from the makeshift apparatus which has transported you thirteen years into the future. Please, have a seat. Drink some o.j. Allow me to explain a few things to you.

I’m starting to suspect you aren’t even a fan of this show and just wanted to complain about a Black actor

did it ever occur to you that maybe this guy had the best audition and that’s why he was cast

Explain “forced” and “unnecessary”. All these questions of “why?” from your cliched crowd are easily answered by “why not?”. I mean, you keep saying THAT it annoys you, as if everyone should understand and accept the reasons for your annoyance without explanation, as if the mere fact that you are annoyed is all that…

If you don’t want them to change anything at all, just watch the cartoon.

You do of course understand what the word “adaptation” means right?

Yknow just my opinion but your FREQUENT USE OF ALL CAPS to stress how LITTLE YOU CARE isn’t helping your whole “i don’t even care” stance.

Lol, cry more dude.

So you just unilaterally suck, huh? 

Dude, if you want to be racist, just be racist. Couching it in a paper-thin argument for animé fedelity is not only incredibly obvious, but makes you look like the stereotypical weeb protofascist. If there’s one thing more pathetic than a fascist, it’s an intellectually dishonest fascist.

STOP THIS HARMFUL TROPE GANYMEDIANS CAN GROW FACIAL HAIR AND ARE GOOD AT STUFF BEYOND MATH AND MARTIAL ARTS

Mad that they cast a black guy AND complaining that Faye isn’t basically naked. Wow, you’re just full of shit takes huh? Are you going to tell us about Gamergate next?

“i dont care that much.”

You are correct, his other post on here complained about how Faye was wearing too many clothes. Only he called her “that chick whose name I don’t remember” so, even better. I always saw Jet as a Black man as well, partially cause the English dub had him voiced by Beau Billingslea.

Nah, I'm going to assume anybody who flips their shit over the racial purity of a cartoon space show isn't getting laid.

Nah, I think I’m still gonna stick with my “you’re an idiot” theory.

If only they mentioned it in the article!

Yeah, Jet read as black to me, albeit a lighter skinned black guy. Probably helped by his voice actor being black.

Spike, what with the last name of Speigel, and his bigass jew-fro, however, was not Asian.

Are they even explicit about the character’s ethnicity in the show? I know the guy who did the English dub for Jet was a Black man, but honestly, does it matter? It seemed like in the show a lot of things about Earth were left in the past, especially since it is all chewed up in the Bebop Universe, and people cared…
