why the fuck are you using being a homestuck fan against me when you are literally a homestuck fan yourself? are you saying its fine that racist shit happens in homestuck because you yourself are a fan of it? newsflash dumbass, homestuck is a story that while it includes a lot of bigoted themes throughout the story also includes a lot of progressive and well written themes. its a nuanced story. deciding to police a Black fan about how i am supposed to feel about homestuck because im calling out how your new favorite movie is a story that quite literally is built upon antiBlack racism is so ridiculous. if you want to have a conversation about why i choose to still enjoy homestuck despite the antiBlack views that Andrew Hussie held in the past and how her views were shown throughout the story as well, leave that conversation out of this one. don't use my enjoyment of one media to try and make it some sort of "gotcha!" for a completely fucking different media.
don't try and yell at me over media literacy when you yourself claim that race makes zero impact on this movie when it actually does. it is exactly as you say, they absolutely could've casted these roles as any race because theyre so 2 dimensional that it makes zero impact, so exactly why did they choose to cast a Black man into a role of an unfleshed out aggressive protagonist who turns into an antagonist? It is continously implied that he is some character with "deep backstory" by fans of the movie yet at most we get him roleplaying with his white therapist about him being verbally abusive towards his white ex-wife and him continously implying that he learned to push people away as a kid. the characters literally have a conversation where his white therapist tells him that he is incapable of taking the blame, something that as his therapist she should have told him sooner because its clear she already thought this but didn't tell him because she was scared of him, and that it is just the way he is wired and that he doesn't have to change. then, after delightfully accepting he is an angry Black man who is incapable of realizing when thingd are his fault, he gets killed by a caricature of himself who is played by a white man. Said caricature proceeds to chase after the white woman until she manages to escape him and then is saved from the backrooms by a bunch of white people in hazmat suits.
Explain to me how this movie is deep and complex. Because we get flashbacks where Mary, the white therapist, has trauma about her schizophrenic mother? Why is she the only character allowed to have flashbacks? Especially when these flashbacks are only relevant to explain her book, to make it more impactful when Clark scalps a redhead and puts the hair on her, and then when she beats the Black caricature to death with a piece of concrete that represents her childhood innocence? This movie is a bunch of halfassed themes and symbolism thrown together to create an awfully written movie where they then casted folks in the roles to create an incredibly racially charged movie to anybody with an ounce of knowledge about how Black men are seen as evil aggressors especially towards white women. This movie is built on the idea of a white woman, quite literally his fucking therapist, trying to help an aggressive Black man but she is too scared to tell him what he needs to hear. She is "proven right" that he cannot hear the truth and that he is beyond help, and is punished for trying to help him. Her only escape is for her to tell him to stay the angry Black man who takes no responsibility for his problems, and to tell him that he is just wired that way, implying she could've never helped him in the first place. We see this man be disrespectful towards his own employees, especially his young asian assistant manager. We see him be vague towards his young employees when asking them for help with "research", ultimately leading to their deaths, which paints him in a predatory light as he preys on their naiveness and eagerness for money. Specifically, he keeps Kat's head in the fridge after implying that he was responsible for her death. Kat's role in the movie is that of a college-aged asian girl who is helpful despite the fact she dislikes Clark's treatment towards her and she dislikes the idea of being in the Backrooms in the first place. It is racially charged as she is put in a similar position as Mary, trying to help Clark run his failing business, and in the end she dies for it. She is an asian woman whose entire role is to help her boss and then dies for it while the white character gets to survive.
So, tell me again how this movie isn't impacted at all by casting Black & asian characters into its roles?
