Y'all remember lease bound, that incredibly transphobic, antisemitic webcomic? Well, you can add 'racist' to the list as well. Look at the way the creator writes black men, or rather, the singular black, male character she chose to write and not kill off like his father; Jacob, younger brother to Jaiden.
He's indifferent and lacks empathy.
He's messy, undisciplined
(Jo: Did you press start on the washing maschine this morning, Jacob?
Ja: oops forgot again, soz)
He's unreliable and uncaring/ignorant at how his inaction influences others.
He has to be threatened before he does any housework, he's lazy beyond belief.
Whether intentional or not, the creator made him into the 'lazy n*gro' stereotype perpetuated amongst slavers to justify their crimes against black people.
The last picture I posted is the most obvious embodiment of this belief; Jacob literally has to be threatened with violence before doing his share. That's how slavers justified whipping and otherwise torturing black people to get them to 'work' for them.
They spread the belief that Africans were naturally lazy people who needed a firm master who told them what to do, otherwise they would lounge around all day and do nothing of value, similar to a horse or dog. They need another (preferably white) person who orderes them around, and getting the indifferent, lazy, uncaring slaves to work necessitated the threat of violence.
Jacob falls into the 'Sambo' or 'Coon' stereotype.
The decision to write her sole male, black character present that way probably stems from her distatste of men in general.
"Propaganda to men's humanity" Ah yes, because as we all know, men aren't really human and can never be expected to have the empathy, goodwill and selflessness as a woman. Their moral inferiority and indifference is in their dna, and we should just accept that they're all naturally bad people. /s
This is what happens when you unironically believe shit like "All men are bad" and "All men should be locked up in cages" without reflecting on how these opinions might be harming moc and further racist stereotypes they have to deal with. Moc already deal with enough dehumanization and comparisons to animals. They're already viewed as less human.
Anyways, please report the comic if you have acess to boosty and goodreads, maybe then it will be taken down for good.
