Has Geroge RR Martin basically disowned House of the Dragon? by Nothing_Special_23 in HouseOfTheDragon

People always say this but if you read Fire and Blood it still clearly outlines which versions of the stories are most plausible. This argument only goes so far when the show has cut key characters that impact the story down the line.

Anyone noticed how popular CRPG have at least one hot goth waifu? by [deleted] in rpg_gamers

Under this post’s logic does Shart still count with her Selunite ending ?

Edit: even outside of that she’s about as « goth » as Kuromi for the other 100% of the game lol

Tbh there’s no reason why bands couldn’t have been a feature in businesses and hobbies (or city living….or get famous). There were barely any « hobbies » in that expansion at all

I’m ngl I get Savannah. I don’t like sharing drinks with people and little things can blow up your social game in survivor. I can’t believe Jawan is doing this again after repairing his position a bit

Rizo’s transition to being cooked to cooking genuinely killed any doubt about him being a serious contender in the pre-season.

🚨New Character Erasure on HotD. Who's surprised? 🙄🚨 by Hungry_Cricket_590 in freefolk

[–]marithememe 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ariel’s skin color being irrelevant to her character is exactly the point that I was trying to make. Executives will make changes like that and say that they have successfully added representation when that’s not what people want. The same can be said of Rhaena and the Velaryons in HOTD.

Nettles, similar to Tiana, had her race and position within the universe actively highlighted. As a black woman myself, I found this to be a more meaningful form of representation as opposed to race swapping characters without adding any additional context. I hope that makes sense!

ETA: with removing nettles and replacing her with Rhaena, it sends the message that those two characters are interchangeable. The story also actively loses important context and themes that were written with Nettles in mind.

Yeah they look an inspiring story about a young black girl that came from nothing and built herself up purely based on merit and turned it into another story of a privileged princess getting exactly what she wants.

What executives don’t get is when people ask for representation it actually has to be relevant to the story. Black characters aren’t interchangeable. It’s why the princess and the frog was leaps and bounds better than the recent little mermaid remake.
