This is a response to all the people who want a black Spider-Man, a female Green Lantern, and all that other character-altering nonsense. For the record, no, Vin Diesel has not been rumored to be playing Blade, but the point remains. If a white actor was put forth to play a black superhero, or a man put forth to play a female superhero, would SJWs be okay with it? Of course not. So why is it okay when the character in question is a white male? There is a rich plethora of black superheroes, female superheroes, and everything else. Hell, the Blade trilogy shows that the public is widely accepting of them, if the movie itself is actually good. Stop trying to destroy established stories to fit your own agenda, and actually push for YOUR favorite superheroes to get their movies. (But of course, most of the people harping for “diversity” have never even touched a comic book, so that’ll never happen.)



There is so much wrong with this

First off, this “plethora” of representation you speak of is bullshit. White people (especially white men) are vastly overrepresented in comparison to their actual population, especially as leads, in basically every medium.

Second, this swapping that anti-sjers do is so fucking funny to me because it only illustrates how much they do not understand shit. You can’t swap certain things and act like it’s the same when power structures exist. You guys have zero understanding of context, or you’re just that shitty of people that you don’t care.

There is a difference between correcting the under representation of POC/women and white washing everything. First off, white washing happens *constantly*. Our entertainment industry is like a white supremacist fantasy land with how much white people are over represented. This “politically correct” casting that you guys love to whine about is just acknowledging the reality of diversity. The only political move would be to continue to pretend like white people, especially white men, are so prominent when they are not.

But the beeeeeeest part about this?

Vin Diesel is Black. He can be argued to be white passing, but he himself identifies as a person of color.

So I mean like… The ignorance of this post knows no bounds, and I love it.
