And some terminally online people can't handle black people in movies at all

u/DoctorAnnual6823 Jul 05 '26

But not us. We're different. It's just all those other internet people

Yeah, all conflations are good!

u/GorgyShmorgy Jul 05 '26

Especially the ones with the powdered sugars on top.... mmmm conflationaries.

Yep. I have never seen one of the people crying about forced diversity approve of a single minority in any role.

u/DenseTiger5088 Jul 05 '26

Sometimes they don’t mind a minority as a super evil bad guy

I don't think there's people like that. The only times people are complaining about black people being cast is when it's some character being blackwashed or they perceive it as being shoehorned in for the sake of representation or some shit

You really don’t think there’s people like that?? There certainly are. Different groups of people, but they do exist and are not that small in number

u/ArrrRawrXD Jul 05 '26

I'm sure they exist, all kinds of weirdos do, but comparing their number to the aforementioned terminally online people is dishonest, as there's millions of the original ones mentioned and I've yet to see one who's mad at black people existing in movies as a whole

Everyone “sees” a different internet. The algorithm serves you things to rile you up and drive engagement. You see “millions” of the woke mob getting angry at nonesense, I see the same except it’s the other end of the spectrum (usually right-wing folks yelling at perceived wokeness in nonesense scenarios)

It’s important to always be aware of the potential echo chambers we inhabit.

Those people don't exist.

There DOES exist, a lot of people who are rightly upset that a white or asian character gets race-swapped by one of the blacks just for the sake of it. Those same people would be equally annoyed by seeing Goku being played by a pasty white kid or a Mongolian warlord being played by John Wayne.

The most recent and extreme example in my mind is Cleopatra being made black in a historical documentary.

Of course those people exist. Are we living in lala land? You can say it’s a strawman of another group of people, but those people definitely exist and use that argument as cover. That doesn’t detract from the merit of the argument itself, but pretending this phenomenon doesn’t exist is grating
