I don’t understand ppl who watch every show like I wish there were more ppl like me

[Formerly Black Trash]

Damn this is kind of c00nish but I’ll try to get my words out

Nikkas complaining about Game of Thrones
Like why it got to be all white people?

This show would have been so much better if POC of color were writing it

But
Y’all stayed watching it for 7 seasons
I guess it was good enough
I saw too muchon Ray Donovan and had to go

I don’t believe every show needs Black people
But we should get more seats at the table everything ain’t going to include you

And if you not happy with something, you damn sure don’t still support it

I haven’t watched any of those shows

GOT , Breaking bad , etc
They all seem boring

 

[hotbeezie]

I mean, to the OP's point, there definitely needs to be more representation of people of color across all forms of media.

As far as the hate some people (who I've noticed don't even care to watch the show to begin with) give GOT...I don't really get it.
GOT has a very diverse cast in terms of race/ethnicity/culture/ and even sexual preferences.
The Unsullied (The army of eunuchs) is an army of slaves dominated by people of one specific region. Those slaves were freed, and serve in the queen's army by choice. The slavers were all killed. There are other people of color in the show in positions of power. I won't defend the show all day though. There are those that love it, and others who don't care for it. (What you eat doesn't make me fat).

The coli doesn't like to hear this, but not every white person is racist.
If there was a show or game with little to no representation of people of color, to me, it would come to do "was it intentional?" and if it's pointed out how do the devs/owners/publishers/etc. respond to it. Case in point, Capcom may not have known that the voice actor for their black character was racist, but when it was pointed out to them with proof, they did absolutely nothing. For that reason, I chose to boycott DMC5. It's really a case by case basis for me. I never like the broad sweeping generalizations that get thrown around often.
This stuff definitely needs to be pointed out immediately each and every time though. The pressure has to be put on people otherwise we won't see any change.

Just to make myself clear, that thread I made asking if there's black people in GOT was 40% curiosity and 60% trolling therefore I don't notice any "hate" on here given to GOT.
I don't have any serious interest in GOT(yet) to form a proper discussion of the show. I've only watched 1 and a half episode from season 1 so I'm WAY behind on everything.

You may continue.

I wasn't talking about you cousin. I would have tagged you.
I've seen a ton of GOT hate everywhere online pretty much claiming the show is racist. Most people I've seen say that preface it with how they aren't even interested in a CAC show like that anyway with dragons and wizards and what not. Personally, I love the show (it was better the first 4 or 5 seasons but that's a different discussion). I don't care enough to defend it all day though. If it was racist I would call it out as such without any problem.

I’m hesitant to say shyt like this cuz white ppl will grab onto it and take it to the worst possible conclusions and consequences

 

[boskey]

i actually hate "integrated" shows, like where it's done just for diversity - the one black male friend, the season a white boy dates a black chick...etc. i prefer majority black or centered around black people shows for my black entertainment (queen sugar, the chi, insecure, atlanta, power, blackish...tons of 90's sitcoms), otherwise, I'm fine with majority white casts, it's not like that stops good storytelling, and you pretty much know it's the case going into it (Veep, Curb, BB, GOT, Always Sunny, etc). I don't wave the flag for more black tokens on these shows, I'd prefer more majority black movies/shows.


That said, GOT - medieval + fantasy - are two genres that have never been big with black people, likely due to so many of the great stories being set in eurocentric settings, there has never been space for us in this genre. Black people carry these feelings about those genres to GOT and just see it as "cac shyt", I did too (never seen harry potter, LOTR, or a bunch of other stupid medieval stuff), but a close friend of mine wanted to get into the series before season 4 started, I watched a few episodes with her and realized this is a fantasy story that is way more complex than what's typically found in the genre, the characters were So I get it, but I also always challenge them to give season 1 a go and then see what tune they're singing after

Maybe one day when I’m off a edible again
