You have no argument. For some bizarre reason you're disturbed by existence of a random black villain (!) in an adaptation of a horror short story set in a fictional version of America.
Maybe you should watch a trailer for the series "Them" where white people as such are literal monsters and the heroes and victims are black. Or even for example the recent remake-adaptation of "The Witches" where the evil witches are still white but now it's set in the Jim Crow Alabama and the heroes are black (so subtle). Or "Lovecraft Country". And so forth.
You have had no argument, im against forced diversity. You apparently love it that black people are vastly over represented and treated like toddlers by media. You’re the same kind of person who was okay with the bastardized cast that became the Witcher too, “because it’s fictional”. The idea that black people are present in every single part of America is ludicrous, Just as it would be ludicrous to say that Jews would be a plausible part of rural America.
Dude. It's a random VILLAIN.
Are you really more okay with the idea of an evil god existing in a fictional American village, than having a black family in this fictional American village? (Then murdered by their own child, on behest of the mentioned evil god.)
What you talk now is just as stupid as those screaming how sexy women Mortal Kombat were "unrealistic" (and they won). Mortal Kombat. Realism.
You’re drawing false equivalents. 1. The monster is ambiguous to what it could actually be. 2. I would be just as perturbed by having a white dude in dreads in a Haitian voodoo story. 3. Saying something is fiction therefore we can do whatever is a arbitrary argument. The entire setting is based on a place in the middle of nowhere Americana. These places are and have been overwhelmingly white. Crying about it doesn’t change that fact, it’s the same as demanding black Europeans in medieval times.
I've read the story literally a quarter century ago, but I remember it's pretty obvious it's some sort of Indian god/demon that's pretending to be Jesus and also is real and not made up by the kids.
It's an entirely fictional place. A part of an alternate version of America just full of all sorts of monsters (especially Maine).
Anyway in real world a black person can go to anywhere in America from anywhere in America (or the world) within 24 hours. Completely safely. Unless Covid (or Captain Trips).
This is just so silly.
Btw this kid doesn't even look black to me. He looks more like a heavily mestizo Mexican or something. With a stupid dread hairstyle.
