You can tell how bad it is when we see one black person in a bit of media and go 'woke as fuck' immediately.
This isn't an attack on this forum, I'm saying how much DEI and other such pushes have made the causal audience VERY jaded to race in media.
Hell, it's even been talked about by the critics. 15, 20 years ago, black main characters in things (where appropriate) would've been normal, unremarkable. Now because of the damn cult, the very sight of one is an instant red flag. How do you make that go away, even after the hypothetical purge of wokism?
It also doesn't help that when you cast decent black actors they misuse them in terrible writing.
Biggest example was Force Awakens, EVERYONE was looking forward to Boyega being a Stormtrooper turned into a Jedi story only for him to be badly cut down in that film for Ray to 'shine' then be a walking one for the next two films.
Let's be honest here, NO ONE was looking forward to John Boyega before the movie. The thing is, then the movie came out, and we saw the potential of Finn as a character. And at the same time, watched them squander it, having him slaughter his former mates, the people he was fucking RAISED alongside, while screaming "DIDJU SEE THAT?!? DIDJU SEE THAT?!?"
"Traitor!!!" was the best part of that film, and I never bothered with the rest.
And this happened a DAY at most after he completely froze up in his first battle where one of his brothers-in-arms died in his arms. It was a shock to him that he fled the battlefield and practically deserted. Seriously, what the fuck? This is not how a regular human being acts. That's how a remorseless psychopath acts.
Hell, you want a story? Actually make the leap to make Finn an unaware Force-sensitive, and give him a minor version of The Exile's power, deeply bonding with those around him entirely by instinct. Eventually after breaking the conditioning, he deserts, rescuing Poe, and is deemed a traitor. As he tries to survive going forward, he's forced to kill a lot of First Order troopers, and causing so many of their deaths will feel like he's stabbed himself in the heart.
Fair enough, it's just the wasted potential thanks to contrived circumstances due to writing that turns me off more than diversity but the two come as a bundle set.
Like how they raise Boba in the mandalorian to knock him down in his own series or the recent Suicide Squad game. The only way they can make their characters 'look good' is to knock down the previous generation because they lack the talent to show it any other way.
I would think now that you would see less masculine black men or if he is masculine then it will be revealed that he is gay. I’ve seen that trope with white make characters.
For what it's worth, even many of these masculine black men are emaculated to make the women look better. Finn is frequently shown up by Kelly Trans for example, and is ultimately overshadowed by MaRey Sue. And Nick Fury is made to repeatedly made to look like a doofus when compared to Captain Marvel, culminating with the reveal that he lost his eye to a fucking cat.
Speaking of Nick Fury, why the hell didn't Marvel ever give him his own movie? He was around since nearly the beginning of the MCU, he was setting things up long before Tony Stark got locked up in a cave. There were plenty of things they could have done with him during freaking Phase 1 that would have made for an entertaining two hours, and Samuel L. Jackson has always had crowd-pleasing star power on his side. No, they instead always relegate him to a sidekick role and make a big spectacle out of Black Panther being the very first black superhero evar!
Black Panther was the most annoying marketing since they made it seem like no black people had ever been in a movie before. Blade was quite popular when it came out. A Phase 1 Nick Fury movie could’ve worked and include a crossover with the Original Nick Fury from the original marvel comics. The Sameul Jackson version is from Ultimate comics if i remember correctly
Samuel L Jackson version is because Marvel used his likeness for the Ultimate 1610 universe without asking, so in order to not get bent over a barrel and sued Samuel L Jackson instead got to bend them over a barrel and get to be the face of the character in the MCU.
Fury ends up getting a TV series called 'Secret Invasion' that ran for 6 episodes and did little other than kill off more well known characters while also being completely shit.
True. White males are seen as the epitome of evil by the entertainment industry. I guess a black male would be upstaged by a black woman since they rank higher on oppression chart. I guess black Panther would be an example of that. My neighbor said it seemed like he played second fiddle to the stunning and brave women
They could go with the muslim thing because religion is purely aesthetic to the woke cult. The main character could be muslim in the sense that they wear an arabic looking outfit and make vague references to allah every now and then.
Eh, no. Boyega is just as woke as the rest of them.
Quoting myself from a year or so ago
They can fix it just by stopping talking about it.
Rush Hour was a huge hit, with a black guy and a Chinese guy as the main characters. If that same exact movie was made today, the marketing would be SEE THE BLACK AND ASIAN! REPRESENTATION MATTERS! THIS IS THE FIRST MOVIE IN HISTORY WITH BLACK AND ASIAN LEADS!
Unfortunately they couldn't even figure out how to make the same movie for part 3 in 2007.
Then when it failed they would complain about racist whites not seeing a stunning and brave minority movie that they were told wasn't made for them.
You don't.
The left thrives off cultural marxism, encouraging racial division was always their goal.
My thoughts exactly 15 to 20 years ago a cast of different races wouldn’t have even registered to me but now it’s a definite sign. One major example would be the Obi Wan show. Disney was mad that people immediately knew that the show would be about a random black female that wasn’t ever mentioned before
It's worse than that. They literally re-used the plot from Fallen Order that only came out in 2019.
It was literally the same story.
Oh wow! Didn’t know that. I also thought it was odd when I heard Leia was in it because that messes with the lore and New Hope. The showrunner said she had to think of a way to include Leia. The EU book Kenobi has a much better story
It was so stupid.
“But if Leia knew Kenobi as a child, why didn’t she bring it up in the message she made R2D2 record years later in a New Hope?”
Disney: Because FUCK YOU RACIST BIGOT
They could’ve just adapted the EU book Kenobi. I guess it was funny seeing shills twist themselves into knots trying to explain how Vader and Kenobi fighting between 3 and 4 makes sense and how Leia going on adventures with Kenobi fits into new hope. Like I said before, they should’ve just had Leia somehow spend a week on the farm with Luke and his aunt and uncle. Shills would’ve said that makes sense.
I mean, I'm part black (not that it ever mattered to me), but if I so much as see a black person or especially "black male, white female" in media, fuck that shit from orbit.
Sorry I was born with fully functioning pattern recognition.
Yea thats part of the reason I don’t watch much that came out after 2014. Im mostly black with some white ancestry and honestly dont mind interracial dating but the overrepresentation is off the charts and annoying. I used to not mind a gay character here and there. Not anymore. When I see a new show unfortunately I’ve reached the point where I assume a black character will be lecturing about race and female characters about feminism
When I was growing up in the 90s nobody thought about this shit at all. Black guy in a movie? Who cares. Woman lead? Cool.
Then came the faggot marxists who literally created the problem they claimed to be solving.
Division was always the goal, and OWS and the tea party scared the uniparty enough to turn cultural marxism on full blast. If they keep the serfs fighting eachother they'll be blind to the ones pulling the strings.
Look at our own site, they're constantly trying to stir the same shit on our movement with the wehraboos. It doesn't ever really work, because the actual right wing doesn't go for leftist authoritarian socialism regardless of pandering to our skin color.
Exactly. I never thought I would reach a point where I would have zero interest in watching a movie or show based on racial make up or a female lead (without a trusted recommendation). If you do t have it already get Tubi. Along with crackle and Pluto they have a massive library of stuff from previous decades that are good.
To your point, as an 80s baby I can remember the Cosby show being one of the most popular shows and plenty of white people liked it. So these Gen z morons act like every show that came out before they were born was all white
cosby show, fresh prince hell even the beverley hills cop movies; i doubt we'll ever be able to see black actors and not think "oh well, it'll be shite" for a fair number of years, and even then only if we purge the commies
Yeah I no longer trust that the writers can handle their shit. I know at some point I'm gonna get sucked outta the show and hit with some heavy handed allegory or establishment approved press release.
And don’t forget if you point this out then entertainment has always been this way
Yep. I buy a lot of trash bundle indie games and I've been skipping anything with a basketball american in it. It's a great proxy for detecting how shit a game is. Same with movies. "This isn't for you" - ok, see ya.
I can't be the only one doing this either. They're inadvertently creating a generation of giga-racists.
This.
All this shit has made me turbo-racist.
You should check out the IGN comments on YouTube trailers these days. You have no idea how right you are.
I occasionally sneak a peek of these trailers of games that obviously look woke and drop down to the comments, and due to YouTube's censoring, the way around that is people will simply say things like, "Sweet Baby Inc. Detected" and proceed to use euphemisms for 4chan-tier noticing.
Don't watch the propaganda. Save your sanity. When their projects fail they always escalate, which will wake up more people.
The most impactful thing you can do to stop the marxists is to convince two people to never again pay for anything the marxists like, anything they've touched, anything they would approve of.
Pirate if you have to.
It’s an offshoot of the Anthropic Principle. Virtually all mainstream entertainment media now originates from a woke production pipeline, and this system simply precludes the existence of based black or female characters.
Until the system is dismantled and replaced, or wrestled away from leftist control, black and female characters will continue to function as reliable indicators of bad writing and bad games. It’s a very straight forward chain of logic that legitimizes discrimination against black and female characters because only one type of black/female character is permitted to exist in modern media.
Essentially, your only choices as a consumer right now are either 1) buy and consume leftist trash or 2) be “racist” and “sexist”. There is currently no third choice where you get to have good games with diverse characters.

Hey! That’s my power armor!
LOL
And in New Vegas we’ll get to see the Kangs.
Damn, LOL.
I'm going to ignore the darky and instead ask. Wtf is going on with that power armour? Not in Fallout 1 to 4 and I'll even throw in tactics has it been depicted to have a removable faceplate.
TV happened. Audiences "need" to have emotional connection to characters. Showing faces supposedly helps with that.
Whenever this gets brought up, I always refer back to Dredd (2012) with Karl Urban. He never showed his face, except for the constant scowl on the lower half, and he was still able to convey tons of emotion and subtlety. There's also lots of examples of robots and non human characters in scifi media that are able to convey quite a lot, and many of them don't even have faces.
The only thing that makes sense is that the actors are narcissists that demand their face be shown.
That probably happened precisely because of the Sly Stallone version here he did remove the helmet.
It’s the lazy way to do it. Theater used to involve masks long ago and the actors did a perfectly good job captivating the audience. The problem is that the average braindead moviegoer needs to see a face 24/7 or else they’ll get lost
I'm guessing it's more actors wanting to show their faces than an audience problem.
Yup.
The Mandalorian effectively got around this. The problem was, they got lazy with it and just had voice overs with a stand in actor.
Lol liev Schreiber no talent brother, took off helmet in halo all the time, still can't portrait any emotional connection
So are they going for a 'subversion of expectations' where they cast a black guy as a super bigoted zealot who is overtly discriminatory against the ghoul character (played by a white guy) for being a mutant, or are they just going to disregard that entire aspect of the Brotherhood of Steel?
Blacks would be the least likely to survive. They only faired okay in Africa because fruit grows everywhere, plenty of abundance without having to do much. Wild game is everywhere.
In a world of scarcity I have a feeling they'd immediately die.
In post apocalyptic woke trash like Bethesda games blacks are always these remarkable leaders that keep the order in the world, lmao
Meanwhile in Africa they try to solve poverty with ethnic cleansing
My gramma always said to me “O’Brien I don’t care what they tell you in school, Roger Maxon was black!”
Should've warned you to avoid Asian chicks, Chief.
Especially when you’re serving on the same ship smdh
Their lead ghoul has smoother skin than most Smoothskins in the trailer. I call that fucked enough.
This game is a no from me dogg.

The BOS always had black people in it. In FO4 the second most senior member is a black guy. I don't know why a black guy in FO would surprise anyone.
Because it's 2024, and Hollywood hasn't ended the cult of women and nig worship.
Because black people wouldn't exist 200 yrs after a nuclear apocalypse?
I think people either misread your comment or don't consider FO4 as canon. (not without the Grounded Commonwealth mod anyway)
