Agreed. I think I have that confused with a book series. Honestly if I was in charge I’d put an immediate freeze on race swapping especially in period pieces on the grounds that it looks ridiculous. By all means do a show about a West African kingdom and by all means show all the slavery and everything that the west gets attacked for. Could do the same with pre-European arrival Americas

By all means do a show about...

Exactly. That's what it so often comes down to. "Make your own shit." I have nothing against black characters. I have things against black/female/gay/whatever characters that are established straight white male characters, or what have you, for example.

Create new stories. I don't care how many of whatever group you put there, and you can float or sink on your own merits. I wish they were actually churning out good entertainment, instead off racist, sexist propaganda.

I call it “the trifecta” to refer to the obsession since 2016 to shove black/female/lgbt into everything along with massive over representation of demographics. I mainly watch stuff made before 2014. I have my views as a Christian regarding lgbt but I’ve read books or seen characters who happen to be gay but that isn’t the story focus. I’ve long said about gay stuff that they need their own streaming service or channel if they want it to be prominent.

The excuses for race swapping are so dumb too. They bring up a white actor playing an Indian or Asian years ago. The latest one I’ve heard is “well they embodied the spirit of the character”.
