    Almost every argument for fantasy-type settings where “that character wouldn’t be black/is described as X” but honestly if it doesn’t affect the story

    What shits me is that this so often happens with adaptations, and when the adaptation that did this ends up terrible they end up claiming it’s proof they were right all along. As though the inclusion of a minority character is somehow the cause of terrible writing, set/prop/costume design, effects, acting (including from the cishet white actors), and direction. No, it couldn’t possibly be because most adaptations are terrible regardless, it must be tHe gAYs.
