Turns out loving your “work” is a far cry from loving your industry. Who knew?
Anyway look out for my new show, coming to a streaming platform near you where it will be buried under a monsoon of nigh-identical dogshit
*whoosh
It’s like when I say I don’t like gay characters being forced down my throat in media like movies and shows, and get called a homophobe.
Dude… I like dick. I just don’t like 70 year old white dudes sitting around a table saying “let’s add one of them fags to the cast to sell more copies.” That shit is shallow and pointless.
Same, but from a black person standpoint. I hate how some companies
drum out ambiguously colored “pocs” and push them like they’re the next
best thing despite having no true personalities, character development,
or anything. At best they’d be cobbled together cliches we’ve seen done
to death already. Worst case scenario, they’re shallow agenda-pushing,
political mouthpieces with absolutely no nuances— or they’re
stereotypes.
I want characters who happen to be black, not “black” as a character trait.
