I think a lot of media has issues where they would be fine, if that character wasn't the only one from that minority.

Like, it's not inherently racist to depict poc doing bad things. People are people, they mess up at times, it's fine. But when the only character of color (specifically a Black man) in the whole movie turns out to be extremely violent, mentally unstable, cannibalistic, etc, that's where the problem arises. Because it's a very harmful stereotype of Black people, and if your only Black character is portrayed in that way, the message being sent home is that all Black people are like this, because all Black people in your film are. If there were other Black characters, it wouldn't be as much of an issue, but with only the one, it's perpetuating a lot of stereotypes.

I loved the backrooms movie, I think it was really great in a lot of ways, but I really don't think they should have cast their only Black actor as a violent and unstable cannibal.

#backrooms #agreed. the movie is great #but they really could've cast #another Black actor alongside clark's

soldier-of-death

the backrooms movie made me realize that my deepest fear isn't monsters or labyrinths or even death. it's failure.

seeing clark divorced, struggling with money, no friends, sitting and drinking and festering in his own self pity brought tears to my eyes faster than anything ever had before.

I saw him out of breath hopping around on the peg leg with the pirate impression talking about how you don't even need credit to buy from him and I was so close to sobbing it wasn't even funny. putting on a face when you're breaking down inside with no hope is terrifying to me.

I was so sad during the kitchen table scene because everything Mary said was true, he was lost now. It's like seeing someone you wished would succeed just give up and fall asleep in their grave.

Clark is gonna stick with me for a long time.
