The first defense you hear for race swapping is “it’s not important to the character”. Then when I say if it’s not important then why change it. Or “why not make your own character” they just ignore that
And when it is important to the character, like the main character from The Dark Tower, they just say the movie is terrible (and it always is) and its not worth talking about.
Yep. I stopped arguing with these people after the little mermaid. A guy used that line after I said it was a Danish story. Then asked him if there was a Kenyan mermaid story they made white would he say “it’s not important to the story”. He never responded. But their ability to move the goalposts is amazing
Its because they have no principle they are standing on. They just want you to be wrong and them to be right, so they will say whatever they think will accomplish that task.
