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.
Once again, bring me the black corn farming communities and I’ll agree with you.
Bring me some American villages controlled by bloodthirsty corn gods so I can see it's an otherwise super realistic story.
Also really, is he even actually black?
