I was right, they did blackwash Jessica Drew. Also, that design is literally a rip-offs from Misty Knight, a Luke Cage character. Why the fuck is this needed, there's already an actual Black Spiderwoman named Valerie the Librarian.
Also, what's with the pregnancy? It looks like an indirect, thin-veiled, pro-abortion message.
I knew something was wrong with the director of the film when he was found to be pro-antifa.
I don't know, maybe he just wants that single black mom representation, or maybe it's wrong think to have an adult white woman being an alternative "motherly" figure to Miles in this Spiderverse.
Or just lacking common sense in general, doubling down on pregnant Spiderwoman story. Or maybe he has that fetish.
Reddit jannies saw people
calling out the pregnant.
About race swapping, I feel it's more like Westerner writers and localizors nowadays love to make a character must share same irl trait with voice actor. I mean not just must have black person voices a black character, trannies must be voiced by trannies. Race swapping and/or changing sexual orientation-gender identity of the fictional character if they must.
This case, with Issa Rae was announced to be in the movie
from a year ago.
Few other examples:
Invincible TV series has black Amber because the voice actress Zazie Beetz is black irl.
Xenoblade 3 in English localization has Juniper/Yuzuriha being non-binary because EN voice actress identifies herself as one.
During the hightime of Overwatch and well, Paladins. How OW was proud of having LGBT characters, Paladins "community" having the need asking for who's gay in Paladins and HiRez decided to pick Fernando without giving any actual reason. It caused backlash because many of his voicelines implied Fernando being a womanizer.
And I found out Fernando voice actor being J. Michael Tatum, which leads me to speculate the only reason why Borderlands 2 has Sir Hammerlock being gay (of course, well written) because J.Michael Tatum is not just gay, but a huge faggot.
Apex Legends, call me paranoid this part if you want.
Released in Feb 2019, only announced two characters being LGBT.
Lesbians story time.
After they added Loba into the game season 5 (2020), they starts to make Loba falls in love with Bangalore. I didn't notice it at first (I started playing the game around late 2020), just thought typical character development, growing respect to each other. Then they made everything confirmed with love drama triangle in season 9 (2021), oh yeah this whole love triangle is cringe, thanks god it's ended.
Let say I just happened to stumble upon finding out that Bangalore voice actress, Erica Lutrell, married another woman in Aug 2019. Yes, Apex is proud to have many fags in their game, recently with a tranny added.
That statement about Apex being more diverse than OW, it's still true. As in Apex right now has the highest LGBT characters more so than any other competitive FPS games.
