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?

      Or the claim by OP that right wingers are saying this is made up. That’s what I’m going with until I see evidence.

        C’mon, this is the internet. Someone said it and meant it.

        It doesn’t even seem that weird to me, because there’s a general agreement on the right that minorities in media is bad, and no unified theory to explain why. Inevitably, many will be made up.

          Except nobody on the right has ever said that to me, or in front of me, or in anything I’ve watched or read.

          So again, I’m going with this is the kind of myth lefties tell each other about the right without ever actually checking the assumption against observations.

          Unless you can link to someone saying this, I just don’t believe you.
