Have you ever seen someone do that really? Cause I have and it was kinda creepy. I mean to see someone swap the race of a character and outright say "because I needed a black person." Uuuggghhhh Actually that same person's work could probably be considered Tokenism: The comic.

It's great that characters evolve in the creation process and all but something about announcing it like /that/ gives me the heebies. Like you're asking for asspats.

I've seen people argue for it in the way where you look at it and go 'okay, you must be strawmanning here...you can't be serious...oh, you are? Fuck.'

I have fortunately never seen anyone actually do it, and I'm glad, because that sounds like all sorts of ew. Just, what.

[kaileighblue]

The same person also told someone else to do it too. Then announced gleefully how they had helped said creator make a black character.

The other creator hadn't introduced the character yet so they could have just done so without incident but this person decided to make an issue out of it.

Yeah, I have. It's called Glee.

Or this version of Cinderella.

Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoyed it for its fun cheesefest and Brandy is one of my favourite singers, but I find the thought of a black queen and a white king having an Asian son hilarious.

EDIT; And Paolo Montalbán was pretty dreamy. Swoon!

There's something to be said for "blind casting" which is what I always thought that particular Cinderella was. It pops up a lot in the classics, especially Shakespeare and fairy tales.

Honestly, one of my favorite plays that I saw was a version of Cyrano where the protagonist was very much a girl who didn't even bother with a fake silly nose.

[caecilia]

It is hilarious, and that's one of the things I loved about that movie. I actually think it worked.
