Gta 6 leak videos download4/2/2024 What should the colour of someone's skin matter as long as their performance is good? It is all art after all, which by its very nature is an artist's interpretation of the subject matter. It's only the people who actually take issue with it that are the ones that are promoting this faux-segregation of society. I personally don't give two hoots whether a black person, Latino person, Asian person, white person or a green Martian plays any role because colour is only skin deep. Just because you want 'woke' to mean what you perceive it to mean, doesn't mean it does. The point of my post is that you are misusing the word, either it's deliberately misusing it or it's a misunderstanding of the real meaning of it. Mon 19th Sep You evidently missed the part of my post where I said I was not suggesting you are a racist or a bigot.Where if the character’s identity has never mattered the representation is free to be whatever the creative team decides to make it. I certainly hope we can live in a less rigid world. I know Ariel’s ethnicity matters to a lot of people on both sides of the discussion but let’s not pretend it’s woke to make this change. Why not stick with the representation they know? I’m completely fine with little mermaid change personally. Folks want a white mermaid because what they’re used to and honestly there’s nothing wrong in that. There is no reason why we can’t have a black little mermaid. I think it’s particularly dangerous to lock in a fictional character’s identity just because that’s the way it’s always been. Even if that fictional character were used to is decades old and feels like the defection representation. However there’s a big difference in replacing an existing living person with some of a different gender, race and ethnicity versus replacing a fictional character. Mon 19th Sep your first example sounds exactly what Rockstar would put into their world to critic the diversification of roles.Had a new black mermaid film be created with a new black lead and not something that had replaced the original Ariel, that would not be woke, it would simply be a story of a mermaid that happened to be black. It is using the little mermaid as a political platform that plays identity politics to push out a political statement. Replacing Ariel with a black actress with design to empower little black girls is being woke. What would be woke however is taking an existing game that had an original lead character, changing the race, sex, or sexual orientation of that character and using that as a platform with the specific purpose of pushing identity politics to the audience.Īn example would be making a new film based on the life of Ghandi and having the lead role be played by a female latino to specifically push out the message that female latino's can be empowered and play the role of Ghandi if they wanted to. So having a female latina lead isn't woke. The colour, sex or sexual orientation of the lead isn't indicative of being woke.
