Is this a 'your side gets triggered too' thing?
Seeing things race swapped for no other reason than putting a black person there over a white person isn't making a film or show better. It just proves you don't care about it, other than skin color, which is kinda racist.
It feels like a surface take gotcha when they're proving they don't care about the how or the why, just the 'lol, you get mad at things too' part. Which proves they don't care. They care only enough to do it to annoy and destroy.
Exactly. Plus it shows they aren’t real fans. At one point race swaps didn’t bother me since they weren’t common but now it’s expected and it’s always the same excuse and people get upset when you suggest creating your own character.
It was also done with actual well-known, talented and/or entertaining people like Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, or Samuel L. Jackson. I'd be fine with Denzel in just about any role because the dude earned it, and his casting wouldn't be accompanied by an idiot's chorus of "look, a BLACK MAN is in the movie! We're saving the world!"
But instead, now it's whatever flavor-of-the-month diversity checkbox hire that is currently being pushed into everything.

Also forgetting Blackman and Meteor Man. Granted they weren’t as popular (I personally Meteor Man and have all the comics) but they were out before Black Panther. Also as a bit of a comic book snob it was annoying to see people thinking the characters in the MCU where some brand new creation
What bugs me is the mental gymnastics for the context. They get all the context they want to make themselves look great. But for everyone else? Surface take that a child would come up with. Like cartoon villain reasoning. It's all so tiresome.
