Racism

This site kinda ass

People don’t want James Bond to be black and while some of it is obvi racism it just doesn’t make sense for him to be black and I wouldn’t like that either

Sorry but posting videos of fat ugly women is not making a point

Who tf cares who plays what man it’s a f***ing movie and it ain’t even a real person. It’s a f***ing mermaid. Just don’t watch the movie, if ppl don’t watch the movie they’ll get no money.

Twitter propaganda has made y’all think ppl have no choice, when consumers literally make out what is being made and what is not, especially in entertainment.

White supremacist ideology that "the white race is being erased" or some stupid ass s*** like that.

why do you care so much is the real question

i mean let’s be real, if they made static shock white people would be outraged as well, i think @Jihyo is right with his first part saying any race feels a type of way when a character of their race gets replaced by another one

edit: for the record, i don’t care about little mermaid, but i do also acknowledge that it’s not only white people that get mad about this

i do understand the outrage when it’s a cultural character obviously, but when i it’s a random super hero (static shock - historically black) or a random disney character (little mermaid - historically white), people within that given race will feel a type of way. it’s not just a white thing

Why is being white so fundamental to the character besides superficial appearance? I’ve never heard that explained by anyone.

Like a simulation?

Nothing but facts

Static Shock wouldn’t be a good example because characters like him are supposed to be that way to give cultural insight and represent differences as a black hero. A lot of comic book characters are set like that.

The mermaid being white, black, Asian, etc literally does not matter.

Conservatives care because it’s a battle they lost in the Culture Wars

Literal racism, naturally they all racist

Precisely. Changing the race doesn’t matter when the characters background and Inherent ties to adjacent cultural representations doesn’t matter

And the truth is that there are very few nonwhite characters who fulfill this kinda criteria because how current media is so quick to tokenize minorities for lip service points

Also “races get mad when someone’s race is changed” is not a good excuse for this kinda bull s*** going on right now

Because the whole basis of the character is him being a misogynistic white male from the 1950s

As much as we like to meme about white people not having culture, (Americans specifically), they do have culture and it can be seen in every action of Bond

The same reason black characters shouldn’t be made to be white.. it’s a fundamental part of a characters identity especially when it’s a real world setting such as Bond

FYI in the bond books Fleming would spend pages going over James Bond’s breakfast routine and such. His whole character is based on the high class white male experience of the time

Don't bite into NLC's bait bro.

A lot of people are also taking obvious twitter sarcasm/jokes like way too seriously lol.

Most the "movies we'll make black" niggas do not really care about. Dont care about a black Bond, I never saw the old ones (or any for that matter)

they think niggas can only be d*** dealers, gangbangers, or rappers

I’d rather dispel anyone else falling for it

I don’t take them seriously anymore

People need to realize these remakes are adaptions being updated for modern times. Adding more diversity is just adapting it to modern times because we live in a more diverse America

Just like how the new Pinocchio took out any smoking or mention of tobacco

I doubt the live action Peter Pan they’re working on will include the Native American scene the way it is in the animated version
