Or maybe some people just like shipping ships where characters start out as friends? Plenty of male friendships are slashed in fandom too. Friendship to romance is a trope that just works for a lot of people.

I know nothing about Sea Beast. But this sounds like an awesome idea.

hoteps be hoteppin

the sad part is I'd so be down for a fictional historical drama with a black cleopatra in it

but this is just proving americans imposing their racial issues all over the rest of the world isn't limited to the white ones :(

[greghousesgf]

I don't even know what the Kony 2012 video is but I want more MST3K or Beavis and Butthead riffs in general.

[(Anonymous)]

Fucking incredible to come up with a way to criticize making Cleopatra black that I don't agree with

[(Anonymous)]

ok

like, the actual people in Egypt are saying this, so

you do you

[(Anonymous)]

"I remember my grandmother telling me, I don't care what they teach you in school, Cleopatra was black."
fuck schools.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with you. I had a fandom years ago where there was a man and woman who were good friends. I and a handful of other people wanted them to stay friends but most of the fandom shipped them, and the amount of crap we got for not shipping them was just ridiculous.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, perhaps I was unclear!

Making Cleopatra is bad and it's clearly a misreading of history. They shouldn't do it. That's the part I agree with. But it has nothing at all to do with "Americans imposing their racial issues on the rest of the world". Claiming that Historical Figure X was a member of your racial or ethnic group is basically a universal thing that revisionist nationalist pseudo-history does. It's in no way distinctive to black Americans. That's the part that's total bullshit.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah like. i am saying literal people in Egypt are saying Netflix promoting this as a documentary is yet another thing in using and abusing histories of places other than the US as battlegrounds for their racial issues, and that the US has a really long history of doing this with their racial issues and dragging other countries into it through their media hegemony

can you like... point out where i said this is distinctive to black americans

or did you think i meant all black americans are hoteps or something cause... no

[(Anonymous)]

Rifftrax is going strong.

[(Anonymous)]

not OP

Yes, but there are different standards. If the two main characters in something are a man and a woman, it's just expected that they're going to get together. Every. damn. time. It's exhausting to those of us who want something different for once.

That doesn't happen with two male (or female) characters, even if some people ship them. It's just not the same thing at all.

[(Anonymous)]

The point is that this really isn't related to American understandings of or discourse about race, except to the extent that the people involved happen to be American. This is just pure ethnic nationalism.
