>>80075181>That seems to just be the norm for writing males in generalIt's pretty uniquely specific to bad writing but consider the breadth of romantic archetypes and how men of color are barely represented. Outside of a few Chris Rock movies from more than 10 years ago I can't think of any black romantic lead who had to struggle with feelings of inadequacy, emotional sensitivity or social anxiety in the vein of a Rogen, a Wilson or a Cusack; these are extremely common challenges for actors and characters of practically any race except suspiciously for Black Men in an interracial romance.
It stands to reason that, obviously, these men exist and there really isn't any reason why a Kevin Hart character couldn't learn to speak from the heart or win the girl but you don't ever see it. My contention is that the commonly acknowledged racist fantasies of the Hollywood of years past (the savage, the slave, the pimp) didn't actually disappear, they just mutated into a form more palatable for contemporary American audiences. Black men are still being used by hack writers to explore their limits of their inadequacies, the only thing that's really changed is that the swarthy nubian doesn't conquer the pure white maiden with his brutish sexuality, he's seducing her because he looks good, dresses well and will fuck her with a giant dick.
The women still swoon, the slave takes his conquest and the white men never stood a chance, it's fetishism and erotic self-hatred masquerading as social progress.
t. some black dude.
