“Fat, Black people deserve to be main characters capable of anything,”

Well, that most certainly qualifies as fantasy.....AND comedy as well for that matter.

This kind of racist nonsense only prolongs racism. And being fat isn’t good for anyone.

Truly our most valuable resource. I’ve been thinking that the real way to get to Mars really fast is to publicly state that the first person to step off the lander needs to be a disabled obese lesbian of color.

This is where normal people stop reading

He was hooked. “Sci-fi is kinda like my church,” said Smith, who is now age 47 and living in Philadelphia. “It’s spiritual and very much connected to who I am as a Black, queer person.” The problem with his church, however, is that there isn’t very much Black (or queer) representation.

If an “artist” is using AI, it implies a lack of natural intelligence.

“Fat, Black people deserve to be main characters capable of anything,”

What are they going to do, force people to buy that crap? Or force studios to take huge losses in making these kinds of projects?

Queer is way way overrepresented.

As for fat and black and queer: someone should do a picture of the Blob in blackface and in drag. He could obviously displeased and be saying: “Someone is gonna die for this ignominy!”
