Netflix released the original show “Supacell” with new and original characters, but in the comments, right-wingers are complaining that the protagonists are black. The film quiet place day one was released and had a black protagonist. The character is new, original and coherent. Quiet Place is set in the USA black people exist in the USA, so what’s the problem? If they are going to complain anyway, then why do they ask to make new characters?
I think they really mean “I just don’t want to see black people, but that sounds bad, so let me try to come up with something I think sounds better.”
Yeah leaning on “tradition” or “conservation” when its just bigotry under the hood is a staple.
This is how they tell on themselves, when their reaction to Black characters in video games is “I play this for escapism why does it have to be realistic/political/insert_kyle_dogwhistle_of_choice”
