| Kasz216 said: When mirroring real life current problems it is insensitive and racist for the hero to be of different origin due to the fact that it suggests some other group holds all the answers, or is the only ones who can set it straight. The people who "bring it up" are the people who produce the content in the first place. They are the ones who made said distinctions whether intentionally or unintentionally. |
Either these things (skin color, sex, etc..) matter or they don't. If you don't think race or sex matters then it makes no difference what someone's skin color or sex is regardless of what they are doing or who they are helping/hurting or who they are being helped/hurt by.
If you honestly believe that someone shouldn't help others simply because it might "suggests" something then we have a fundamental disagreement. I patently and flatly reject the concept that someone should be labeled racists or sexist for innocently and honestly helping another group of people.
Now, the people who "bring it up" are not simply the ones who make the content. The people who "bring it up" are the ones who insist that the race or sex of the character(s) actually matters. The people who "bring it up" are quite literally the people who make an issue out of the race or sex....if the people who made the content believe that the race or sex matters then they brought it up, if they didn't see where it mattered and made their choices from other reasonings then they aren't.
PS - Out for a bit, so won't be responding for a while.
