I've seen something like this in Star Wars fandom of all places...someone drew fan art of Luke as a Black man and when someone didn't recognize the character and asked about it the artist said they had "a different headcanon for Padme." Which kinda struck a bad note for me, like okay so in the name of diversity you got rid of the Jewish woman and kept the white guy...okay. But it didn't make sense to me anyway since the only Luke and Padme that "exist" were played by particular persons, so that's kinda just how they look?

hit post too early. And why not focus on the Black star wars characters that exist?

[(Anonymous)]

No offense but the black Star Wars characters that exist kind of suck. And we should criticize the writers/producers/casting directors for that, not fans for liking better characters.

[(Anonymous)]

This. A lot of times there isn't a wide variety of characters to choose from. And in manga/anime, the few Black/darkskinned characters also have a tendency to have racist caricature features or have such ambiguous racial features that people will still criticize people drawing them Black

?? Finn doesn't suck any more than the rest of the sequel trilogy characters. They're all pretty shallow and one-note (Rey and Kylo included), it's not like any of them are better than the others.

Even John Boyega thinks his character was written worse than the white characters.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah but John Boyega is kind of an asshole.

[(Anonymous)]

That does seem to be a popular opinion among a certain, small but incredibly vocal, subset of the fandom's most obnoxious shippers. And also some racists.

[(Anonymous)]

This comment is hilarious - "You don't like John Boyega? That sounds like something a RACIST WOULD SAY!"

[(Anonymous)]

He really wasn't though. They were all horrible. Personally I think Poe was written even worse than Finn.

This is exactly why it always feels fake and performative to me. I've seen plenty of people racebending characters from canons that HAVE major POC characters and totally ignoring the actual canon POC characters that exist.

I suspect they didn't want to make the bad parent the Black one.
