People are really butt hurt about Idris Elba possibly being James Bond.

It's TOTALLY because James Bond, the fictional character, is White and Scottish, NOT because Idris Elba is black you guys.

Guys.

Guise pls.

Meanwhile an article asking Why Can't Link Be Black gets reposted and...well you can imagine how that went.

Which is especially funny to me because Link is not only a fictional character, he's also a fictional character that gets REINCARNATED EVERY GAME. A game where pretty much the only dark skinned character IS THE FUCKING BAD GUY.

And then there was that one time Doctor Who was almost Idris Elba and people flipped. Because, you know, an alien being can only turn into a White British Guy every time, as opposed to ANY OTHER HUMAN ON THE PLANET.

If you can't tell I've been paying pretty close attention to Black representation in media and it's just like, there isn't any. How many young black actors are you currently aware of? Maybe four or five, tops? Literally the only one I can think of off the top of my head is the kid from Chronicle.

Terms like SJW get thrown around like snowballs on a winter's day now. It has no meaning, like neckbeard or literally. It's used to shut down any conversation about representation. "If you want a black/girl/gay main character, go make your own game," meanwhile those minorities are unable to even BREACH areas of technological development.

STEM white boys, the least persecuted people on the planet, are worried about their "safe space" getting raided by things they aren't used to and it's so scawy ya'll hold me and my inability to make a protagonist that isn't a grizzled white guy with an assault rifle.
