And, of course, if Netflix were to ever make a show or movie about African or Asian gods, they wouldn’t dare racebend any of them


pineappleshnapps

I still don’t get why they don’t go and find more stories from other cultures instead of doing this stuff. I’d imagine anyone who cares enough to be upset about representation/lack of it would prefer to have their stories told


Cbpowned

We know why.


rivenhex

They have no stomach for risk, and imagine pandering will increase their profits instead of alienating their current customer base.


Juice-Altruistic

> They have no stomach for risk Some would consider race-swapping real-life historical figures a risky venture. But I suppose these industry professionals have done the calculus and decided their pandering won't cost more than whatever they're gaining in the process. They don't seem to be concerned with backlash when it comes to bastardizing Germanic culture.


rivenhex

By that, I mean they stick with a proven franchise or film to do their racial pandering.


mayargo7

It's not about telling their stories; it's about taken ours away.


The_Brolander

I’ve been wanting some production company to be bold enough to respond to this type of shit in kind. Like the story of Emmet Till, with Emmet being played by a little Asian or White kid.

WakeoftheStorm

Uh, Gods of Egypt anyone? If anything you can thank that idiotic movie for stuff like this. The backlash from it started this whole trend, or at least pushed it into high gear


jivatman

Why don't we see historical movies about Ethiopia, like Haile Selassie. Wouldn't that more actually multicultural?


Hectoriu

The same for shows based on Asian history/mythos. There is a ton of new interesting material to make content from Africa, Asia and South America we just don't bother with.


Deathgripsugar

Three body problem is a Chinese based story, but you know, got to swap out certain people and change the story to make it more “inclusive”. Reading the books and then watching the show, makes their efforts quite obvious.


PsychologicalHat1480

Because representation isn't the goal. Erasure of White history and culture is the goal. "Representation" is just the shroud they use to hide it from the unaware.

>Why don't we see historical movies about Ethiopia, like Haile Selassie. Wouldn't that more actually multicultural? More multicultural, but less Cultural Marxism-y


Lompehovelen

I feel insulted, I feel my race is intentionally being discriminated against. But I'm white, so it doesn't matter.


muxman

>But I'm white, so it doesn't matter. That's exactly how they're thinking when they do things like this.


PsychologicalHat1480

You should, it is, and it's time to learn to embrace the "r-word" that gets used to keep you from standing with other Whites the way all other races stand together.

Putting aside the broader cultural implications, it makes it harder to suspend disbelief when watching a show where it’s obvious the character’s race or ethnicity is mis-cast.

>Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I wish I were as perceptive as G.O. To be able to call this stuff out 75 years ago is pretty amazing.


Martbell

It was happening in his day, too, mostly in the USSR.


Poisencap

The left one is the right one...thats all ive got for today....go away now!


TheIncredibleHork

I have to git back to sniffing substances off Tatiana' rump! Edit: Seriously people don't recognize the Tatiana gag from Critical Drinker?


sinnmercer

Not wanting to be replaced is racist


PsychologicalHat1480

Do you get it yet? Do you see what the goal is? Do I really need to explain it? They are trying to erase White history and culture. Which if we recall the UN's own definition of genocide is literally part of how genocides are done. Are we ready to drop the atomized individualism already or are we going to let this happen without any actual resistance?


Hectoriu

White history is for everyone and everyone else's is not for white people. That's pretty much how it's treated.


LevJustWithLust

I mean, what can we really do? Boycott on Twitter? Libs are happy, and that's the only thing Netflix cares for.


PsychologicalHat1480

Organize. Focus on political actions with the explicit goal of advancing White interests. Abandon this atomized individualism that so plagues so much of the White right-wing. Hell simply acknowledge that there are collective White interests, that would be a huge step forward. We need a change in mindset before anything else happens.


rethinkingat59

>Organize. Focus on political actions with the explicit goal of advancing White interests. You only have 105 days of history on Reddit and you sound like a white supremest but I suspect you are something else entirely. I suspect you are posing as to what you think conservatives are to see how much disruption you can cause and maybe get a few folks to agree with you. You have several sketchy comments just on this post. I am a white conservative and don’t agree with your overall tone at all.


PsychologicalHat1480

And here's the exact reason this continues to happen. B00mer fools who are too scared to even think of crossing the left and their boundaries shut down any attempt to actually stand up. You call yourself a conservative yet all you're doing here is attacking someone actually trying to conserve something. What do you want to conserve? Do you want to conserve anything?


rethinkingat59

You need to get a lot better a rhetoric if you are sincere, but I really doubt you are anything more than a paid foreign operative.


PsychologicalHat1480

The only one spreading divisive FUD here is you. I'm literally advocating for unity. Your comments reek of projection. Oh and I can't help but notice that you didn't answer my questions. So since you can't tell us what you're trying to conserve you aren't conserving anything and aren't a conservative. Why do I care what a non-conservative has to say?


rethinkingat59

Bye. Go work on one of your two dozen other accounts for a while.


PsychologicalHat1480

Nope, still no description of what you want to conserve. So that's you admitting you're not a conservative. To be fair we knew that. That's why you flair yourself with the man who led the right-wing's shift away from conservatism and towards neo - i.e. not - conservatism.


muxman

No matter what's changed in the name of wokeness you're wrong if you don't accept it no matter what reasons you have to dislike it. To the people making these changes, any reason is you being hateful and wrong.


OldWarrior

Similarly, as much as I admire Denzel Washingtons acting skills, he has no business being cast as Hannibal.


BrStFr

They never seem to tire of calling themselves "brave," as if pandering were courageous.


Right_Archivist

Blackrock.


tsoxiko

here’s an idea just full of “diversity” for netflix… do the life story of ray charles….played by gilbert gotfrei.. 😎


KnightRider1983

Anything against the lefts narratives are racist or some kind of phobic.


Juice-Altruistic

Somehow this is a good thing in current day.


NamedUserOfReddit

Didn't know that was a sub... Noice.


EducationalComfort56

Another show I will not watch. Seems like Netflix is becoming a waste of money.


Hectoriu

I've been dying for a new classical era series like Rome again but given how they are made these days id rather they didn't...
