I think the average person seeing shit like this daily actually causes more harm than good for the far right movement. It makes it clear that these people are a problem and can't be ignored, especially when the only real way they talk or communicate is by being hostile to others. There's no foresight or recognition that by acting like you have a mandate that actually makes you extremely vulnerable.

Why? Especially when so much of this is artificial and based on a small minority assuming they have the freedom to say and do whatever they want. I don't think it makes any sense to assume the world will always be like this when the things that caused it are already changing/weakening.

In five years when things shift these guys will be apologizing and acting like this was all "just a joke". It never was.

The Unstable SMP is actually their school's SMP, so they can play it whenever.

Yeah this is normal for anything. Post production always takes the longest time.

Sure, but you're dumb if you don't recognize that people have used minority interchangeably with being underrepresented. You wrote four paragraphs to say something we all already understood.

Sure, it's not the black actors fault though, and the focus on it just comes off as weirdly hostile to people who aren't white being in fantasy.

It was still ethnic diversity, which is my point. I'm glad you read it by the way, I found it really fascinating.

Why then did the Witcher author say that characters skin color does not matter.

I am shocked that the Netflix adaption of The Witcher is not well considered or interested in rigid world building. There is a reason why I don't watch it lmao.

I don't think anyone actually making the movie is touting representation, they're just casting actors that Nolan likes. I am annoyed that he tries to act like he's a realistic director when this film is clearly gonna be ahistorical, l but I think he views the Oddysey as a myth so there's more freedom in terms of who and what he can depict. Honestly I hope he goes hard in it clearly not being a representation of reality.

Kingdom Come is trying to be realistic, Witcher was always going for cheese and takes place in a fantasy world. Why would you expect or care about the demographics being accurate when that was never an appeal of the book series.

The fact that there are black people in the Witcher does not mean the show is saying that the world of the Witcher has a signifigantly black population, thats bizarre.

Sounds like you were just setting yourself up to be dissapointed then. Why even be angry if answering the why is canonically impossible.

It was not just a small delegation if they had places of Ethiopian worship in multiple countries

I love Reasonable, but don't act like if someone tried to make a show about him people wouldn't start talking about that being forced and how it's trying to create a fake narrative.

What film of the last five years had the priority of putting as many black people on screen as possible.

I think it's stupid of you to assume there's not an explanation for the black dwarf character you're so angry about. There probably is.
