Netflix released the original show “Supacell” with new and original characters, but in the comments, right-wingers are complaining that the protagonists are black. The film quiet place day one was released and had a black protagonist. The character is new, original and coherent. Quiet Place is set in the USA black people exist in the USA, so what’s the problem? If they are going to complain anyway, then why do they ask to make new characters?
Because “making new stories” is a smokescreen for racism, which was the original point.
Not always, I’m generally not a big fan of remakes/reboots. But give me new stories, give me black, brown, red, white, rainbow coloured, give me orange… No wait, scratch that last one, orange men can go right fuck themselves.
