An artist could create a story in which a white person dies and goes to a fictional and magical Japan or a fictional and magical Africa, and it wouldn’t be a problem because there are no limits to fiction. But if they made a story in which a Mexican person dies and goes to a magical and fictional Europe, there would be problems. Why are there no limits for white people in fiction, but are there limits for minorities?
Or just on twitter, or parts of reddit, or the internet in general etc… I mean there certainly was no shortage of outrage… with say the little mermaid etc…
Now I will admit a good portion of it is that producers have really gotten shitty on writing in general, and often try and compensate it by throwing in a less represented in media character. IE say the last 2 doctors, girl ghostbusters etc… IE things aren’t terrible because of diverse casting, but if it is terrible, diverse casting isn’t going to fix it.
