For some they are too lazy and for others it’s much easier to appropriate someone else’s culture. I love the LOTR books and I have enough respect for it not to bastardize it. Same with other things. Why some people feel that other works by someone else has to represent them is beyond me. Well I have my theories.
But I would say to get people out of the mindset that they have to be represented in anything and that you can enjoy works of different cultures but they don’t have to change for you. Also force artists to make their own stuff and stop this mindset that if something is majority white it needs to be changed. In a majority white country I’d expect to see a lot of whites in entertainment and literature

For people who aren't black or white, this is so normal that it's not even a mindset they need to get out of. You have to be taught that any work that doesn't have people of your color is like genociding you and such as?
Yes, this goes across the board but these studios will put their black actors like the ones in rings of power to push this narrative but I would tell someone of any race this lesson. I read Beowulf in school and loved it. Never once complained that it didn’t represent me. But like you said this should be common sense
I mean that for most people in the world, this is something that goes without saying. I couldn't name you the last game, show or movie that 'represented' my race, and it's no issue for me at all. In fact, the whole thing is rather absurd to me.

Feminists don't complain though, because Grendel's mother is quite the excellent representation of a feminist: raise a monster, then blame the monster's victims for its actions.
Kidding aside, I think works like Grendel represent everyone. Because it's not about race.
Which is only required reading because of based Tolkien.
I'm glad I got his translation before b-ok . cc got taken down by the fuckin feds. (Simon the Disowned is not getting a fuckin' dime from me after his bullshit)
Yea I’m sure they would take that out. The group that started milestone were black nerds inspired by Marvel they read growing up. I can respect the fact that after working for Marvel they made their own material instead of ruining established characters. From what I remember they were good with the characters they got with marvel
Simon likes to beat around the bush. Which one often does when trying to converse on a normy platform like YouTube.
I received a warning from the YouTube team yesterday myself. “We shall remove your account if you continue with your concerning behavior.” Imagine they think my banter was getting a bit too salty for the common folk there.
Because they don't have a written language.
What history?
Other black people capturing and then trading them for guns and booze.
Because your masters want to humiliate you.
What's going on? The Kalergi plan is going on, that's what.
Malice.

But it used to not be a big deal until fairly recently when “representation” was all they talked about
It's a manufactured 'big deal', like the rest of their Current Things. I like to think that it's still a nothing-burger to any serious person.
I know zero people in real life who care about the race of people in movies.

I love Icon but do you honestly think they would do him justice?

True. And what cracks me up is when fans of the source material are attacked or they say “you can’t adapt it exactly” as if we can’t understand that
I celebrate western literature and history because I am a westerner.
Same
Because they'd rather steal it, just like everything else?
only kinda /s
I thought it was a very old video because of the bad video quality.
But it is charming. It's someone who cares about the facts and not about superficialities.
Mr. Webb is a charming chap.
Cuz they can't read and don't care.
Yikes sweaty!
Cue not every
Eh, the cultural differences between African Americans and blacks elsewhere is pretty huge. It's the product of the entitlement they have been taught.
Ya cause crime is very low in africa
He’s talking about how first generation African immigrants hate American black culture (gangbanging, rap music, all that shit)
Lol that's basically blacks everywhere tho. There are some based ones but few and far between
I see your a consumer of ‘history’.
Agreed.
Your title implies American's embracing American ideals is wrong, where as the video is about WEF controlled forced diversity.
