Isn't it the case that race is acceptably mutable if it isn't germain to the story and that making all audiences feel more accepted and therefore happier is a laudable goal. Nothing woke about greater non white representation. Plenty snowflake about not wanting this.
- GenerocUsername 4y agoNo. That's the lie being told these days and repeatedly blowing up on faces though
- oblio 4y agoIs it a lie? Research constantly shows that people want role models like them and diverse audiences want... diverse characters :-)
- manuelabeledo 4y agoSo it is not acceptable? I don’t understand this position. If they add more diversity to appeal to wider audiences, that’s bad. If they make everyone white skinned, even if Tolkien himself didn’t describe most races as such, that’s fine?
- nozzlegear 4y agoBlowing up in what way?
- peoplefromibiza 4y ago> if it isn't germain to the story and that making all audiences feel more accepted and therefore happier is a laudable goal. why not come up with new stories then, instead of trying to make them fit in something written decades if not centuries ago? > Nothing woke about greater non white representation. the World is full of non white mythology, I would love to see something inspired by African.mythologies for example. why they keep using white (western to be precise) mythology to represent non western cultures? It's like making a new Rambo movie were everything is the same except Rambo is Vietnamese.
- pvaldes 4y agoA TV series set around the journey of policemen in Nigeria or like "Northern Exposure in Abuja" could be incredible.
- tarsinge 4y agoYup, the Witcher series did a great job at that (I say this as a fan of the books but not the game). E.g. Elves are discriminated because of pointy ears, not skin color, so no reason to limit the cast the story works equally well.
