With Aeriel they made it VERY clear that race was the reason so many people were mad. Literally said it was because they race swapped her. The complaints about the actress completely drowned out the, continued, complaints of yet another remake. There were a lot of people mad about Morales. It wasn’t as hammered home, but it was there. Then it did well, so the grift dropped it, and moved on. It also doesn’t matter if there weren’t. Just because you can cherry pick a handful of instances where it wasn’t the case, does not dismiss the long, consistent, history of there being far more outrage, amonst white people, over white/male characters being race/gender swapped, than there is about whitewashing.
If the key reason people are mad about a movie, is because it is bad, then the bad script/acting/directing/etc will be the forefront of the conversation. Not the race/gender swap, and other reasons brought up as a reaction to being called bigots.
“The reason not as many people got mad at Spiderverse is not because they created a new character with his own story that isn’t tied to Peter Parker’s in any way, instead of just painting Peter Parker black and leaving everything else the same, but because the racism machine malfunctioned that day.”
Oh my god, fuck you.
Sure, some conservative grifters are going to get mad when they see a black person no matter what. But the fact that a lot more people, including many self-professed libs, got mad at Ariel should probably tell you that the fact that those grifters exist doesn’t mean that everyone who dislikes it when characters are race swapped is a conservative who just flies into a rage whenever they see a black person.
I’m not sure whether you’re trolling or not, and at this point I don’t care. This conversation can serve no purpose anymore.
