10 months agoLmaooooo so cringe. Imagine being the type of person who pretends not to be capable of recognizing the difference between portraying an action icon superhero with a different skin-tone in a reboot/adaptation and portraying an historical civil rights figure in a way that directly conflicts and contradicts their life story. I get that the woke crowd can be pretty annoying, but I’ll never understand why the anti-woke crowd is always pretending to be less intelligent than they are. I think anybody with half a brain can see the difference between making Obama white and making Ariel black lmao. Imagine thinking that pretending to be denser than you are makes your argument appear stronger lol.
I agree about the lazy pandering, but there are so many people out there who really need to take Cartman’s words to heart – it’s just as lazy to hate everything woke on principle. It’s very frustrating that now, any time we do something gay with a character who wasn’t presented as unambiguously and explicitly flamingly homosexual in their first appearance, it’s going to be accused of pandering. Tim Drake (a.k.a. one of Batman’s “Robins”) is a sixteen year old boy who recently came out as bi. Lots of people don’t come out of the closet before age 16 – there’s nothing weird about a character coming out of the closet at any age, but there’s especially nothing weird about a character not coming out of the closet until their teen years. But nobody seems willing to accept that Tim likes dudes too. They have to scream and cry about how it’s “pandering.” Which is just silly. Tim is allowed to kiss boys.
