  1. +Downward Submission Position No, because established franchises/IPs get made, original ideas get vetoed. That's it. Try going to Hollywood and saying "Hollywood, I'd like you to fund my film for NewMan - a dynamic new superhero who's black" Hollywood: Fewer people will pay to see a superhero film for a protagonist nobody's heard of. Also he's black which means we suspect he'll be viewed as 'An ethnic superhero for ethnic minorities. You: Okay well how about we make DareDevil 17 and this time he's black. That way people are already invested in the franchise and they'll know it's aimed at everybody. Hollywood: But won't some white people bitch about no longer having 100% of everything?

  2. For everyone saying "Why not make new characters", like this somehow makes changing the appearance of an older character problematic - which it isn't, you'll get used to the arbitrary cosmetic changes and if you don't then I'll be laughing at how pathetic you are - established franchises/IPs get made, original ideas get vetoed. That's it. Try going to Hollywood and saying "Hollywood, I'd like you to fund my film for NewMan - a dynamic new superhero who's black" Hollywood: Fewer people will pay to see a superhero film for a protagonist nobody's heard of. Also he's black which means we suspect he'll be viewed as 'An ethnic superhero for ethnic minorities. You: Okay well how about we make DareDevil 17 and this time he's black. That way people are already invested in the franchise and they'll know it's aimed at everybody. Hollywood: But won't some white people bitch about no longer having 100% of everything? You: Fuck those people Hollywood: Let's do this..........thing. You are pathetic beyond belief. Non white people are finally represented and you cunts think you're being hard done by - you (who are pissed off by this) are the most pathetic demographic on the planet. It's SO refreshing to see that Marvel is saying "Let them throw their fits, they can get used to it or they can boycot it because the protagonist's black." So go ahead and boycot these films because the protagonist's black. See racism isn't "when other people burn crosses", it's *YOU*. Don't go around calling yourself liberal or progressive when you "just want to keep white characters white....and keep on presenting non-white characters as white. Is wanting everything I know and love to be white such a bad thing?" Yes it is, you self deluded racist cunts.

  3. +underwaterlady Aw, their race has changed. How can you love or relate to them now that their skin's dark? established franchises/IPs get made, original ideas get vetoed. That's it. Try going to Hollywood and saying "Hollywood, I'd like you to fund my film for NewMan - a dynamic new superhero who's black" Hollywood: Fewer people will pay to see a superhero film for a protagonist nobody's heard of.

You: Fuck those people

  4. +KubernetePirata He wasn't white - what was white about him? But look at all the pathetic tears of white people, yourself partically included (if that's your ethnicity). Yeah I'm happy to see people like myself represented and I'm not getting bogged down by "is it petty?" and "are they pretending to be progressive and bragging about being diverse"? If this bothers you, fine be bothered by it - it's so painfully pathetic and honestly it's disgusting to see so many white people, almost all of whom will tell you "I'm not racist" being appalled that protagonists of old franchises are being portrayed as black or as female. In 20 years when nobody gives a shit about this, it'll be fun explaining to our children "Yeah, half of the white people were bordering on boycotting their comic book films because the protagonists were black".

  5. Pissed off white people: remember to get as angry as possible. It's brilliant because your outrage will do nothing and change nothing. Talk about "social justice warriors" and enjoy the two and a half years before your codeword for "People who don't want 100% of everything to be catered solely to white people" is seen through and it's recognised as immediately as "white genocide" or "anti racist is codeword for anti white". You have EVERYTHING, then you have ALMOST EVERYTHING and you think you're suffering. Compare your reaction to the reaction of racists. What's the difference? Nothing because you are the fucking racists. Am I wrong? Okay, what would Bill O'Reilly say? What would Rush Limbaugh say? What would Sean Hannity say? And what are you saying?

  8. +Tim V (The Texan Camper) Boo fucking hoo. It's called not just catering to white people and white people alone. Don't like it? Get used to it, deal with it, go fuck yourself, do exactly what you want.
