Oh, you were talking about somebody misusing a FN identity they didn’t have. My mistake. It’s still a bad story idea.

You talk about “speaking the truth” about how you view minorities while bemoaning that white men, a group that has never ever done anything bad (/s), are portrayed negatively. If you don’t realize it, let me inform you that sort of thing comes off as pretty racist. Defending it by saying it’s more realistic or better writing in a show with talking octopuses doesn’t change that. If you do realize it, you’re an awful person.

I’ve reached the end of my patience for that particular type of bs with you and will be blocking you. Do better.

So you think it would be better for stories about Muslims to focus on the negative aspects of their religion? And it would have been better for FN people to be portrayed as racist cheats? I’m not sure if you realize how gross you’re being or if it’s on purpose, but never criticize other people’s writing ever again.

Not catering exclusively to white men isn’t virtue signaling. Stories of minorities having to fight for rights isn’t virtue signaling, it’s something that is very very relevant these days as well as historically. These are stories that people want to see and that are relevant to them. I’m sorry you feel if something’s not marketed to white men that it’s not surprising it failed. I’m sorry you don’t feel like those are stories worth telling. Go watch something else that doesn’t challenge what you think deserves to be told. Not Dark Winds. The cast has a lot of Native Americans and acknowledges systemic racism and makes jokes about how white people have been jerks to them. You’d hate it.

So you think the show should have portrayed white men as superior to minorities? Or you think there’s not enough representation for white men? Or you think every. single. show should be for white men? Do you have crap opinions on Dark Winds as well?

Easier for other people to bend, too. Get a wooden one and keep it dry. Nobody bends wood.

In a Japanese language course, students were assigned native speaker penpals. I had asked some pretty boring questions in the first letter like how old are you, what are your hobbies, etc. The teacher proofread the letters before we sent them. The feedback I got: you really don’t need to ask what nationality they are, there’s only one country that uses Japanese. I turned beet red on that one.
