Netflix released the original show “Supacell” with new and original characters, but in the comments, right-wingers are complaining that the protagonists are black. The film quiet place day one was released and had a black protagonist. The character is new, original and coherent. Quiet Place is set in the USA black people exist in the USA, so what’s the problem? If they are going to complain anyway, then why do they ask to make new characters?
The ‘create their own stories’ thing was a ploy. They were either using it as cover to try and conceal their racism or they were betting that people of color wouldn’t be able to make their own works and find an audience. They don’t actually want new black characters; they don’t want black characters at all.
