Diversity of stories isn’t a bad thing. I just wish they’d be honest about it. You want a black Little Mermaid? Set the story in the Caribbean. You want a story about a a fictional black kingdom called Wakanda? Challenge the viewer with actually showing what the bad guy’s terror campaign would look like, or call out the hypocrisy of Wakanda having advanced tech but doing nothing to stop the slave trade. That could be interesting. That could be GOOD. Instead, it’s just propaganda.

One of my favorite hobbies, costuming, is fucked to hell. At least our big con this year, which was going to be a celebration of women’s suffrage, got cancelled by the Wu Flu. I was going to go as one of those White Feather ladies, the anti-suffragettes who shamed men into signing up to die in WWI. I’m sure it’ll be more insufferable next year.

I hate these people so much, it’s hard to explain.

I agree with your first paragraph to some degree but they'll never be honest with themselves. They'll never admit what they want unless that's hating YT and tearing down the civilization that (for whatever reason) decided to take them in and treat them as equals. Now they're our masters and they're ruining everything.

However, a Caribbean Little Mermaid sounds interesting. There's just no need to diversify a Danish fairy tale with Danish characters. Wakanda could've been handled much differently but even in fantasy I can't believe in technologically advanced African countries, unless they were run by Boers or Rhodesians.

I hate these people so much, it’s hard to explain.

Me too. Just when I think that I have the correct words I stumble over myself because of my disdain for their methods and beliefs, not to mention that they're going unpunished.

You know what? Fuck it, I'm going to write my goofy fantasy books and excel at it, maybe even help kickstart a right-wing White literature revolution. I'm tired of their shit.

I would happily join you in that literature revolution. Fuck these people.

There’s a closed Facebook group called “Twenty to Fifty” or something like that. It’s a support group for indie sci fi and fantasy authors who can’t get past the SJW gatekeeping. It’s supposed to be a good group that helps with publishing and promotion. I joined a while ago but haven’t been able to do much due to life crap... my goal is to be a published author too. Sci fi though. I dealt with a lot of this SJW shit in the amateur circles for a while. Never again.

Yeah, a Caribbean version of the Little Mermaid could be cool as shit, if you actually made it Caribbean. Bring in some voodoo elements with Ursula, have Erik be a black pirate captain, just... go nuts. Make something new instead blackwashing yet another ginger character for no reason.

Wakanda, if it existed, would be the height of hypocritical selfishness. That could be an interesting story, even though yes, the basic premise is 100% unbelievable.

SJWs have destroyed all my hobbies. Or at least, the communities for all my hobbies.
