Wow, so much negativity here. Let me balance that out by saying: I think Cameron Esposito is pretty cool!

On the show, he would say, “I love you just the way you are.” One day I said, “Fred, were you talking to me?” And he looked at me and he said, “Yes, I’ve been talking to you for two years and you finally heard me today.” And I just collapsed into his arms. I started crying. That’s when I knew I loved him.

This is going to sound really stupid but I’m being genuine here: Don’t let a toxic fandom prevent you from being a fan.

1) Twitter is often a terrible place online.
2) She seems to try to make it a better one.

Can’t tell if serious.

Seriously, white men have been writing for female and non-white characters for decades and they could care less. When non-white writers and female writers have an opportunity the concerns come rolling in about how they can’t properly capture the characters or even worse *gasp* create non-white male characters.

1. They are 60 minute pieces.
2. The tv show will be based on the novels, the games just have huge design influences.
3. Tv shows have very different storystructures, pacing and budgetconstraints then videogames/books, which requires extensive rewriting.
4. Writing’s hard, more people means faster scripts.

This is one hot take. Fresh out of the oven.

The TV series is based off of the novels. The games are sequels to the novels, so this is more of a straight-forward adaptation of a series of books.

I came expecting to see a pic with a room full of white guys, looked at that pic and got excited that there were so many women and persons of color. Then I made the mistake of reading what the criticism was actually about and promptly remembered why I hate humans of the internetz.

Where in the sweet fuck are these people when it comes to adapting media that isn’t European or even Western, or writing media about places that don’t fit that umbrella?

I don’t know if you meant it intentionally or not, but:

*quietly steps away*

Some things are sacred.

Your self-awareness is both admirable and despicable. Now that I’ve established a flexible position on the matter, I will wait and see which side gains an upper hand so that I can pile on in proper fashion.

I would mock this but I got in a near-screaming argument the other day about the importance of Superman’s red briefs returning to the costume so I have no room to mock.
