Maybe you should go to the theater more, because movies set in the past have been making sure they mention and explore the problems of having white protagonists in time periods that are inherently exploitative and racist now. If you are going to ignore that social change and try to make an Indiana Jones or other era adventurer without addressing it too then you are a racist. The genre as you want it to be is dead, simple as and nuff said.

Sorry, are you making this as a normative claim, or a positive claim? Like, are you saying that the genre should be dead or that it is be dead? Because you seem to be wandering back and forth between the two.

From a normative point of view, I agree that it's important to do something to deal with the issue, but I don't think it's necessarily deadly for the basic concept, for all the reasons I said above. I don't think the genre is intrinsically or unrecoverably racist. It's a solvable problem.

From a positive point of view, I'm not sure how much of an impact it actually has on a film's financial prospects. I wish it had more of an impact! I think it's good that films try to deal with these issues. But I have to be honest that I haven't really seen any evidence that politically incorrect films are more likely to fail at the box office. I think mostly filmmakers try to grapple with those issues because they believe it's important to do so themselves.

It should be dead and it is dying, just vile little racists keep trying to revive it and ignore the implications.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah.

That does clarify things.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, yes we get it, we are all "vile little racists" for daring to like things you don't. Got it.

SIGH.

Assuming they're sincere, wanna bet they're totally fine with problematic elements in their favorite franchise because ~reasons~?
