There isn’t anything wrong with that. You just made the mistake of arguing in good faith with bad actors who have been raised by establishment television from birth to believe that you as an individual, as well as your race, culture, and nation deserve to be scoured from the Earth for things every single other race, culture, and nation also did and are still doing today, right now.
China is now the North Star of all Western media and they have actual concentration camps in operation as we speak. But since they’re part of The Party they get a pass.
Or you could be Ubisoft, put a black guy in your game as one of the main characters, and then proceed to play hip hop music when he is on screen…during Feudal Japan lol.
You make a new story that is diverse from the outset. You don’t actually need to “fix” the existing ones by hamfisting diversity into them.
I know that creativity is hard and all so people prefer to destroy the great works of others but I’m hoping we’ll have a bit of a rebound on that front in the near future.
Thats the same thing with extra steps. Is my point.
You arent creating the “new story” or “new wow culture” without the intent of creating non white characters. You are doing the same thing, just with extra steps.
That is just the proper way to do it.
So if anything, it sounds like you are for adding in non white characters. You just want them to have better back story. Which I get. But it all starts with the same premise “adding in diversity and race”. Which was deemed racist.
Well, Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger probably killed Star Wars when they greenlit bad script after bad script, then hired on mediocre to bad directors and THEN tried to do a million spinoffs, capitalizing on the brand instead of focusing on better products overall, while simultaneously over saturating the market.
Fans nor DEI were ever an issue in Star Wars, and they were never going to ruin or save the franchise. Better movies and spinoffs would have saved it. The most popular modern movies and spinoffs don’t star white people, but they do have substantially better writing and tone and pacing… again, race isn’t the issue and fans aren’t the issue, quality is.
See i think that is the difference " Boom, we added a black Main character" Or , Oh hey this character we just added fits the lore, has worked hard to get where he/she is and has earned their right to this position. then you list the achievements. I think it is more about Who they are then what race they are. Going the EXTRA steps shows you aren’t doing for the race, you are adding them and giving them meaning.
