Why do these race swaps always exclusively go one way? Like why couldn't Ariel in The Little Mermaid have been Filipino? Or how about making Rhodes in the Iron Man movies Korean?
The sheer amount of preferential treatment that Hollywood gives to Blacks just makes me view Blacks as the retards of American society. Gotta give these retards all kinds of special treatment and opportunities.
They hate redheads especially hard for some reason.
I've thought about this a lot, and my current t theory is that redheads parse as "exotic" and they feel entitled to that description.
Whites being exotic undercuts tons of their unearned selfworth
it's white genocide, red hair pale skin is pretty much an identifier of white people, they're sending the message they're not just subtly replacing white characters but white characters who stand out
That makes some sense, but to me that theory would line up better if they targeted blondes specifically.
It could just be that there's more blondes than gingers, so it's harder to 100% exclude them.
Something about the hit rate on gingers makes me think it's more than just anti-white. And I don't mean it's not anti-white, I mean it implies a specific flavor or subset of anti-white rather than the just general
blond is actually a rare trait, only about 5%, mostly northern Europeans, so western stories outside the Nordic sagas will have mostly various shades of red/brown
Not in fiction though, blondes are heavily overrepresented vs gingers.
Thats what i mean more blondes, there's fewer redheads to replace so it makes your ratio way easier to spike.
Redheads are peak White. That's why.
Leftists literally worship blacks. It’s that simple. This is what actually cost them the election. Hispanic and Asian voters broke hard for Trump because they are sick of being second fiddle minorities.
Snow White was race-swaped for a jew-mystery-meat-latina with a hairy back, does that count?
Very true. They think they're stupid niggers who need mommy and daddy to give them freebies and handouts lol
One of the things that drives these brown actors batty is knowing that millions of people let out a sigh after seeing yet another white character replaced. Of course anyone they ask will vehemently deny this, which almost makes it worse.
I see this in comment sections which is a good sign that normies are tired of it
Right? I mean they have to know that their career is over after doing this even once.
Right I saw the first film but never read the books, is this another case of the books being great but on screen adaptations being shit and a tool of pushing ideology?
Plus the author praised race swaps and then got called out by readers I think
So the author more woke than J K Rowling as she accepted the race swap of one of her characters but still very anti trans.
Haven’t read the book but I know one main character is a white blond girl and the author praised the race swap and gushed over how great the actress was and readers asked why didn’t you make her black in the books then
JK "I never said Hermione was White in the books ( oops, I actually did ) Rowling.
JK "I personally hand-picked the Harry/Ron/Hermione actors myself" Rowling
Nintendo & The Pokemon company did it right with their leaked character rosters; specifically label the race so you can skip this argument with activists.
It’s another lazy Harry Potter rip-off, but with Greek gods instead of wizards. Boring as fuck. I quit halfway through the first one.
Isn’t this virtually every modern western adaptation?
Didn’t the writer attack fans who called him out for praising the race swaps?
What "writer"? It's Greek mythology and Perseus done with a shitty YA spin, just like the movies. There's zero creativity in anyone that is part of this franchise.
Sorry, I mean the author of the books
So did I.
Change my mind. There hasnt been a A tier black actor or actresses in decades. All tier A black actors are over age 50 by now lol.
Talking about denzel washington, morrigan freeman, will smith, halle berry. They are as rare as big titty, beautifil tier A actresses.
It doesn't help that studios like to double up, so a bunch of the blacks they're pushing are going for the Modern Beauty Standards™, or are trans, or are ultra-flamboyant gays.
It would be a little easier for a woman, since that somehow has diversity points, but it seems like it would be really hard for a 'straight man' (the role, not the sexuality...although that too) to make it in the current climate.
All the woke nonsense has made it harder for any serious actors, of any race, to rise to prominence, at least on their merits. Especially men.
TV/Film Actors & actresses don't have the kind of cachet that they used to have. The media landscape is a lot broader now, and there's way less illusions about what they are really like.
Also the Leftist obsession with repesentation and uglification puts them a step behind
They missed an opportunity to pick the ugliest black lady they could find, as they often do. Or a tranny.
Compared to the usual casting of fish-eyed mutant freaks, she is at least pretty. Not that that's saying much, or that it makes it forgivable.
disgusting.
