>>125675435Took you long enough to notice. The problem never was race, but that they changed race of established characters solely for woke points, which makes it come off as cheap, tacky and manipulative so it's easy to just outright dislike from the start regardless of what they do. Something which EVERY dumbass writer, artist and so forth should understand that when you work with something established and beloved, it's a natural reaction for people to dislike and even hate stark changes to established characters and stories. An emotional connection has been made, there's precedent and to shit on that or ignore it inevitably leads to backlash. It's human and as normal of a reaction as seeing someone punch a person you love right in the face, because the emotional connection has made the character real for people.
And before anyone fucking dumb retard tries to claim that's "Pathetic", that's just how the human mind works, that's how normal, functioning people work and behave. You think your subconscious can differentiate between a fictional and real person when it comes to forming emotional connections? So in short, if you meddle and do shit with established, beloved shit, you belong to the group of dumbest, absolute most retarded people on the planet if you think that backlash wont happen or that it's not justified.
