That is not easy and I stumble. We are called to be like Christ but the Lord knows it is impossible for us to be perfect. Christ works through us. Temptations are all around but remember the scripture “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. We will stumble. I sometimes struggle with loving everyone but I do keep praying about it.
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”.
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
I used to not mind the occasional race swap but it’s been done to death and like you said there are political reasons behind it. Most annoying when it’s set in a specific period and it looks way out of place. Wasn’t that character explained in the King Arthur story as someone who came with the Romans but never left England?
It is and convenient how the son is gay
