Should race of characters have been pivotal in all western stories and characters?


so that way hollywood could stop stealing white characters and race swapping? We always hear "well race wasn't pivotal to the character so its okay they changed it!"In retrospect i guess every single story should have been written where being white is pivotal to them so they can stop lazily stealing our characters.

reply

In retrospect i guess every single story should have been written where being white is pivotal to them



THEY WERE AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

reply

Yes it is the problem because as i laid out, the excuse we always hear is "it wasnt about race so its okay to race swap characters"

Now adays Its only okay to steal western stories and blackwash them. Just ask the people who made Cleopatra. its gotten so bad non fiction and documentaries arent even safe.

reply

Almost everyone hated that Cleopatra docudrama

"HOLLYWOOD" SPENT IT'S FIRST HUNDRED YEARS CREATING ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WHITE CHARACTERS...OTHER THAN STEREOTYPES AND TOKEN CAST ADDITIONS...LEADING TO A LACK OF ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS OF ANY OTHER SKIN TONE...THINGS ARE JUST EVENING OUT...THERE ARE ALWAYS MISSTEPS WHEN THINGS ARE REALIGNED...BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE...WE ARE HEADED IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION.

reply

You mean back when USA was 90% "White".... THE HORROR!!

reply

EXACTLY...BACK WHEN...WHICH IS OVER...THIS IS NOW.

reply

wwhich shows your silly understanding. and black jazz music was made for and by black people for and by black people. do we need to even it out? make sure the black musicians start making more jazz music for white people?


your concept of his historical retribution and evening out" is frankly insane. according to this we need to now go into every single country, and make sure that is they had a minority they are now making it up to them in terms of art produced. not just movies, but music as well. Does it stop at racial boundaries? how about ethnic ones? do we need to start forcing them to make content for ethnic groups?

reply

Then quit living in the past and judging it to the modern day.

reply

THAT IS BACKWARDS...IT'S YOU WHITE PRIDE WHACKJOBS THAT ARE LIVING IN THE PAST.

reply

Why are you assuming I'm white?

reply

I'M NOT...I ALSO DON'T CARE WHAT COLOR YOU ARE...I AM GOING STRICTLY BY YOUR POSTS.

reply

Yes you do, you care...a lot...because I live in your head.

reply

DICKSUN...THAT IS HOW I THINK OF YOU...YOU DON'T LIVE IN Y HEAD...MAYBE IN MY ASS...BECAUSE LIKE A FART...YOUR POSTS GIVE ME A REASON TO HEAR MY OWN VOICE AGAIN....EXCUSE ME...SMELLS LIKE SHIT IN HERE.

reply

Yes Hollywood is in America a mostly white nation. they did and were allowed to make movies for the majority of people. Evening out? what mistep? Scorsese is allowed to make his italian American mafia movies. should he have to make up for an "even out" and make black films? what about asian films?

your understanding of history is seemingly Juvenile and entirely based off retribution and this nebulous concept of "making it even" which means nothing..

when will movie studios in bollywood start making western films?? featuring white actors? same with any African or asian movie studio?? time has come to stop just the white " TOKEN CAST ADDITIONS...LEADING TO A LACK OF ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS OF ANY OTHER SKIN TONE...THINGS ARE JUST EVENING OUT...THERE ARE ALWAYS MISSTEPS WHEN THINGS ARE REALIGNED...BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE...WE ARE HEADED IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION.

reply

Hollywood is stealing white characters from whom exactly??

reply

The various European authors? who wrote the stories. Thats when they arent just straight up race swapping real historical characters. If race doesnt matter why was it a big deal to make the new lion king have an all black cast? the origonal was directed by a white person, written by three white people, and voiced by 65% white cast. it wasnt even based off an african story. it was based off Hamlet??

reply

You still have failed to point out where "stealing" is going on. Maybe that's because you're arguing about something that is only a problem in the minds of bigots such as yourself.

Please take your misery and race baiting somewhere else.

reply

i did not fail at all , i gave multiple examples and showed how they took white characters and blackwashed them.. You dont want to address what i said so you are ignoring that and just shouting bigot. you may as well admit you have no facts on your side.

I wouldnt be in support of taking blade, shaft, miles morales and stealing them and whitewashing them either. but I am no hypocrite.

reply

NOW NAME SOME BLACK CHARACTERS THAT COULD BE STOLEN AND WHITEWASHED FROM BEFORE THE LATE 90S THAT ARE NOT SHAFT.

reply

Hehehe, their hypocrisy gets really ugly if you were to race-swap a canonically black character with a white one for a film today. Their heads would explode, they'd foam at the mouth, and set entire towns on fire over it. Then you can throw their own words back in their faces, saying, "But you said their race didn't matter? I even have it recorded right here!"

reply

No one got all outraged about Tiger Lily being portrayed by Rooney Mara in the movie Pan. However people scream to the high heavens about Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman in the Batman. Do not act like you guys hold everything to the same standard. I see your hypocrisy and call BS!

reply

I've noticed that they don't care when you throw their words back in their faces. And I think I understand why.

A common example is when they make homophobic slurs against republicans.

I have often pointed out to them, that they are supporting homophobia by their actions.

They are ALWAYS confused by my response. I've never gotten a coherent response to that point from a lefty.


My conclusion after repeated observations, is that liberals don't give their own words any credibility. They KNOW that the shit they say, is meaningless shit, so the concept of the other person seriously listening to what they say, and seriously considdering the implications of it,

is completely alien to them on at least two levels.


1. Teh shit they say, is just shit, even in their own minds. Thus, the idea that their words have real meaning other than rhetorical devices to "win" a debate, is beyond their comprehension.


2. The idea of LISTENING to the words of the other person and THINKING about what htey say? Inconceivable to them, they don't do it and they have no ability to understand that other people are different then them.

reply

That reminds me of a conversation my mom had with a Jewish girl at her school when she was a teenager. Her friend was shocked to find out she was a Republican, and she asked, "If you're so smart, why are you a Republican?" Mom answered back, "It's because I'm smart that I'm a Republican." hehehehe (I think they stopped being friends after that).

Most Democraps don't have enough electricity in their empty heads to power a lightbulb. Their only intelligence comes from being able to act like parrots and accuse others of what they are, such as being dumb, racist, misogynist, or in a cult.

what stuff? i demonstrated to Kowalski how his agreement is sheer madness. half my post was madeup of a quote from him, showing the ridiculousness of what he's proposing. Like you he gave up on arguments and just shouted "white supremacist". Two peas in the same pod i see. it is far more simplistic to shut your brain off and just shout buzzwords at people. You sound like conservatives who shout "communist!"

reply

Most all writing material in western civilization comes from ethnic celtic people's real life behavior. This is why most all the people who are actors and actresses in hollywood are ethnic celtic people. Celtic people can act like celtic people fairly well.

reply

What the fuck does this even mean? What is "ethnic celtic people's real life behaviour" supposed to be?

reply

People who are writers get most of their writing material from real life events and real life people. That is what it means.

reply

How does this relate to "celtic people", specifically?

reply

Writers get their writing material from celtic people's real life behavior.

An example, of which there are many, is this skit on "The Kids in the Hall" tv show.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh_IlJj0hqY

Some ethnic celtic males in college are so poor that they do this and the KITH tv show writers put that in to a skit.

Most all comedy material that comedians have comes from the ethnic celtic people they have been around in their life. Stand-up comedians who are celtic get all their comedy material from their celtic friends and family.

reply

>Writers get their writing material from celtic people's real life behavior.

Who are these supposed "celtic people" you're referring to? How prominent do you think "celtic people's real life behaviour" is in the west, exactly?

>Some ethnic celtic males in college are so poor that they do this and the KITH tv show writers put that in to a skit.

Do you think that skit specifically defines all modern TV? Kids in the Hall released in **1988**. And what about that skit is especially "celtic"?

>Most all comedy material that comedians have comes from the ethnic celtic people they have been around in their life.

[citation needed]

>Stand-up comedians who are celtic get all their comedy material from their celtic friends and family.

Most stand-up comedians are not celtic.

reply

The stand up comedians who are actually funny are usually ethnic celtic persons.

And since when does stand-up comedy define all modern TV anyway?

reply

Whites still to this day are the majority in Hollywood. Lets get right down to the real issue. You do not want to share the spotlight and only want white people in that spotlight. We get it. You are stuck in the 1800s. Welcome to 2023.

reply

would you like to compare lists of black directed and starring films i own and seen in theatres compared to you? ill actually be honest, i doubt you can do the same.

reply

How do you exactly go about doing that? How would either one of us know either is being truthful? Also side note someone can have a friend that is of a different race than them and still be a bigoted person. That is not a get out of jail free card. Oh and I would love to. I have seen tons of films directed by or starring black people.

reply

believe me if you want im a massive fan of black films. its not the "i have black friends see im not a bigot". its a specific claim where you assert "ou do not want to share the spotlight and only want white people in that spotlight" which you have no proof of. which i know is untrue but its easier for you to smear me as a racist then recognize that people can be sick and tired of race swapping and see it as an insult to black and white people alike.

its lazy. but youd rather play defence for some mega corporation doing it for some box office dollars while smearing others as racists because you cannot believe theres a greyzone. its more complex than your black and white view of things.

you sounds like an extreme right winger. same coin, different side. but equally as extreme. they scream "everything woke!" while you scream "everything's racist!"

do you at least get paid for simping for a company that doesnt care about you? you are being played by them man.

reply

I assert it because you fit the bill. Race only matters to a character if it is essential to them. You do not want a white person portraying MLK and you do not want a black person portraying Abraham Lincoln. The reason being is because they are historical people and therefore their race is essential to their character. Now take a character like Catwoman. What about her race is essential? She has been portrayed as other races throughout history before. Eartha Kitt, and she was not white in the Year One comic. Now when Zoe Kravitz was cast in the Batman people screamed woke! What it boils down to is they are used to seeing her portrayed as white therefore it should stay that way. Which is dumb because characters go through re imaginings and different interpretations it is what keeps things fresh and not go stale. Now I already know your rebuttal. Well if they changed Black Panther to white it would be an issue. People would complain but how is that different from when you guys complain about non race essential characters being swapped? Also notice the same crybabies that cried about Kravitz being cast went radio silent when Rooney Mara portrayed Tiger Lily in the movie Pan? Had that been the other way they would have whined about that also. You want to change Black Panther go ahead but you do not get to have it both ways. If race is essential no matter what then Pan deserves flak for casting Rooney Mara as Tigerlily.

It is only lazy if the story is not good. Creating a character which is original and a different portrayal is not lazy at all if it is done well. Kravitz Catwoman was not ripping off, Pfeiffer's Catwoman or Hathaway's. It was it's own interpretation. Now these live action remakes of Disney suck why? Is it only because of the race swap? No it is because they do the same exact story and change nothing but the race. Beauty and the beast did not race swap and it still was trash. Notice how the right wingers conveniently forget that? If you are going to race swap make it a different story.

I do not scream racism but I am willing to call it out where I see it. If it were up the right no one would ever say one word about racism.

reply

have you not seen the multiple race swapped historical white characters? from cleopatra, to im not kidding, julius caesar.

i have no problem with Catwoman, even in the origional Allen west show she was portrayed by a mixed race person as you said. she has a long history of that.

when Zoe Kravitz was cast i screamed "she looks like a bad actress all her clips in the trailer were cringe." and i was wrong, she did a great job.

wow congrats, you chose the one case where the character wasn't actually black washed and had a long history of being black/mixed. you failed at your one job. this isnt proving anything you think it is and is not a case of blackwashing at all. you had one job.

notice how no one cared about pan? it got 5.7 on imdb and 26% on rotten. plus all this whole blackwash/whitewash wasnt nearly as big an issue in 2015 as now. where its almost every second property yet another character is race swapped, from velma to TMNT to little mermaid to robin hood.

again kravitz didnt have to rip off anything. catwoman had a long history of this. you chose the one example that doesnt prove your case, and keep arguing it. why? because you are disingenuous and thinks it proves a point it doesnt. but nice attempt.

you do know a film can not race swap and still be junk? no one forgot that at all. that doesnt prove race swapping is okay. another failed attempt.

it seems you are just a disingenuous debater. nice try but i am done here. keep using examples that do not support you by taking long established black and white characters portrayed by both to somehow link that to say black washing abunch of characters is okay. i wish you gave an argument here.

im not on the right. care to try and smear me more?

EDIT im currently on page TWENTY of "the Batman" discussion on here looking for all this anti ZOe racism. so far ive found one which isnt even about blackwashing but says this

"Casting Zoe Kravitz as the defender of the downtrodden by the evil rich white men
posted a year ago by DAVID62627 (321)

When she is an actor of nepotism and privilege (daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet). Pretty lol"


i guess you will just fabricate things

reply

And where did I defend that? That is a problem because there race is essential. Notice I never wavered from that.

That is not what other people did. They did not like her because of a race issue. I specifically remember before a trailer was shown, a set image revealed or even the scrip or story beat touched upon people were screaming woke. You really think those type of people were going to give her a fair shake? Even if she is good they are going to judge her on an unfair curve because they want Catwoman to be white.

Oh no my example fits perfectly. They did not care that Catwoman had been portrayed by Kitt in the past they still screamed woke. So no you actually proved my point further thank for that.

If it does not prove my case why did people care about the race swap? Are you lying now and pretending people did not care about the race swap? https://moviechat.org/tt1877830/The-Batman/5dde519709e87d49d1caf54d/Zoe-Kravitz-as-Catwoman That was 4 years ago. Boom!

Oh it was happening even back then buddy. Ok just so I am clear when is the cutoff date? This is an excuse I see all the time. So when did the woke race swapping virus occur? Give me the year so I can easily dismantle you.

Tell that to the people who claim the only reason the live action Disney remakes are bad is because of race swapping. No you failed again here.

Your concession is noted and your education was free today.

reply

This is the truth.

The entertainment industry in the west (movies, television shows, video games, comic books, etc.) have all been ran by white men for decades upon decades. They made content that appealed to themselves.

Now that some movies are being made for black people or women or for a multitude of people (movies with diverse casts) these same white male nerds who have become accustomed to having the entertainment industry make movies nearly exclusively for them are now throwing a fit and claiming they're being genocided and are the victims of racism and sexism. It's absolutely ridiculous.

The whole gamergate shitshow ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_(harassment_campaign) ) is a superb showcase for this toxic backlash. Nerd culture (gamers, cinephiles, star wars nerds, comic book fans, etc.) has largely been a thing that white men enjoyed, almost exclusively, now that the entertainment industry is broadening it's appeal to other demographics these nerdy white men are on a disgustingly racist, sexist and homophobic war path. They are attempting to safeguard and keep these entertainment industries predominantly for white heterosexual men.

reply

Amen brother! Preach!

reply

nice goalpost shifting youve tried to conflate "movies being made for black people" with "raceswapping is okay".

no ones safeguarding anything. they are jsut tired of being talked down to and called racist sexist mysoginists MAGA people because their favourite characters got race or sex swapped so some company can say "see how inclusive they are".

i didnt not go see alien because "it stars a woman and im a man! i dont feel represented!" the only people who look at things this way are extremists who think characters have to look like them or they cannot relate. which is racist. Ive never once watched a movie staring a female or black person and felt less connected.

thats the truth.

reply

Oh there is plenty of safeguarding going on. If that were not true why did people act like a bunch of wild animals when Zoe Kravitz was casted as Catwoman? I have my personal preference of how Batman should look. Does that mean it can only be interpreted my way? Isn't that a bit of an entitled attitude? Also here is a point many people can't refute. If a specific race was not allowed to audition for a specific role is that discrimination? No black women were allowed to audition for Catwoman in Burton's Batman or Nolan's Batman. There were auditions allowed for white women in the Batman. Alcia Vikander and Ana De Armas auditioned for her in that film. Funny thing is you guys will claim racism but in the meantime no person of color was even allowed to audition for Catwoman in Burton or Nolan's films. Any excuse for that one chief?

Wanting representation does not mean someone will not go see movies because the character do not look like them. Plenty of my favorite action heroines look nothing like me. Even some are different genders than I am. I just think it is a good thing that now there is far more diversity than there used to be. Miles Morales is a great character who just so happens to be of a different race than white. Thing is even with that you still have people getting pissed off about it why is that?

reply

oh look now anyone who has a view of their favourite character is "entitled". you are hopeless. go try your disingenuous arguing elsewhere. Now im responsible for what Burton did in 1992?? are you on drugs sir? i cant have an honest debate with someone so slimey and piteous. Next i am going to be blamed for some horrible whitewashed movie from the 1950s. see im consistent. im actually agaisnt BOTH those cases. but you are not. because i am consistent, while you are a hypocrite who thinks one is okay but the other is not, including what Burton did. but for you its okay when it happens to white people.

you tried your best to smear me again for what Burton did in 1992. you really went down that pitiful route.

reply

I did not say you were responsible. However I bet cash money you would not claim that discrimination took place for that casting process. Yet you would do that for Kravitz being cast as Catwoman in the Batman. Oh this is typical once you guys get backed into corner or called on the carpet you clam up play the victim and retreat from the conversation. It is ok though I am used to idiots like yourself. I am just glad that morons like yourself will not be getting your way. Spiderverse and the Batman were financial hits and made tons of money. You will not be getting your way choke on it!

reply

However I bet cash money you would not claim that discrimination took place for that casting process.


i just did. in the very comment you responded to? can you not read? oh right your point isnt to address what i say. its to lecture and act morally superior while making stuff up to attack and strawman.

im actually agaisnt BOTH those cases



also

Spiderverse and the Batman were financial hits and made tons of money. You will not be getting your way choke on it!


both of which i saw in theatres and loved? where did i ever voice opposition to either film? did you not read my other reply where i recognized catwomans long history of being white and black? I guess just invent stuff in your head about things i never said or did and attack that? far easier than coming up with something coherent and based in reality to attack? that would take a brain

welcome to ignore. i do not have time for lying strawmen like yourself

reply

After I called you on it. You did it to save face. Also kind of like how you side stepped me commenting on how enraged people were about Kravitz being cast. So you get mad when I ignore what you write but you are free to do it to me. Comical irony alert.

I am glad to be there be gone boot licking idiot.



reply

After I called you on it. You did it to save face.


how could i state my position on Burtons casting catwoman in batman Returns BEFORE you brought up that very example??? are you seriously mental?

should i have time traveled? known you would bring up Batman Returns, and Preemtively stated my opinion on what Burton did BEFORE you brought it up?

this has to be the most braindead comment ive ever read...please tell me you are this idiotic?

reply

Because you had no choice once I was able to point out the hypocrisy. Even if I give you that you have no retort to ignoring the outrage over Kravtiz casting as Catwoman.

reply

yes you brought up an example . i immediately addressed it and stated my opinion. thats how a conversation works. again sorry i cant time travel. sorry i cant address every single instance in history before they are brought up.

so you really are that imbecilic? this the hill your choosing? one that makes you look completely stupid?

Even if I give you that you have no retort to ignoring the outrage over Kravtiz casting as Catwoman.


giving me that would take being honest. which you clearly are not just desperate to score points no matter how silly you look.

your link has EVERY single person disagreeing with the OP and bringing up Catwomans mixed race history, and everyone saying hes wrong. on this site from what ive sen theres no shortage of right wingers. and the best you got is one post? where everyone says hes wrong?

You sure gave me compelling evidence of massive outrage about her being cast....

reply

I am being honest by giving you that. That was just one post bud. There are many more I can find which are like that. Want me to provide you with more evidence about people being upset she was cast? Or you going to keep downplaying it and playing dumb?

See I posted an example of a person not liking her being cast. I did this to see how you would react. Youtube channels have made a great career out of making grifts by screaming woke and talking about how whites are oppressed. Explain to me how whites are oppressed when they hold they on average make more money and have more roles in Hollywood on average. That just boggles my mind.
