Can we all agree on this?
>blacks in contemporary settings
okay
>blacks in futuristic settings
okay
>blacks in period movies playing African characters
okay, but the actors have to be dark skin
>blacks in period movies playing non-African characters (like a black actress playing the Queen of England or whatever)
cringe
>blacks in medieval fantasy settings
cringe (except if we're talking about people from some southern tribes, then it's okay)
>blacks playing white characters in books/comics/videogames adaptations
cringe
Can we all agree on this?

It's not just cringe, it's insulting.
if you want to give role to black actors make some fantasy based on african folklore, but don't shoe hiorn them in culture they don't belong in.
It's cultural apropration and it's supposed not to be okay.
I don't want a white samurai and I don't want white zulu and I don't want black knight, and I don't want yellow Aztecs

That's what they did with Black Panther.

Holy fucking cringe

I think it's pretty amusing that the Martin Lawrence comedy flick actually used nubians to identify black skin. While pretty everything else that has blacks on the medieval period just treats them as equal to white folk as if there was no difference at all
Evan Brooks
At least in old movies if they couldn't find a black actor they would paint a white guy black to stay truer to the story. Off the top of my head Robinson Crusoe (1956) and The Spider Woman (1943) does this.
But lazily swapping out a white character for a black one is immersion breaking. The OP pic is aesthetically disgusting

You were brainwashed by your education and media.
William Hernandez
do you faggots ever stop thinking about black people? all day every day with this shit.
Christian Ward
In a time when you could dare to point out and poke fun at each other's differences. Back when people were allowed to be different, instead of today's strange nebulous form of confirmity.
Charles Martin
have you ever asked that question to those who put blacks in media?
Jordan Morgan
I'm only against blacks in fantasy/medieval era stuff
That picture alone just looks so out of place and ridiculous

>race doesn't matter, it's just a movie
yet if you were to have a black guy played by a white guy they'd go crazy.
this is why the reason that it's "just a movie" never holds any credence.
Cooper Campbell
no you can't.
people bitch and moan about literally every black character today.
So now youre stuck with blackcelot. enjoy. you did this to yourselves
Joseph Bennett
No it isn't. You clearly don't understand.
