      As if it's "natural" that so many things feature white men and marginalize other folks. That didn't happen naturally either. That's not apolitical. It's a deeply political reality.

      I mean in the sense that there's a reason for them being a certain way, or at least there not being a reason they can't be. That it's not JUST "we need more representation." So like making Elsa black in medieval Sweden would be a reach, which is why she's white and Tiana's not.

      To your point, yes, historically many times they just happen to arbitrarily be white males. But if the only reason you're making Mario black is to make Mario black because we need more black characters ... I can see why people'd take issue with that. It doesn't add anything.

      okay, that's taking an established character and changing them, which seems to bother some people. but many others get upset if someone makes like, a game with a black protagonist, b/c "white people are being erased" or whatever, which is just silly

      Can you name an instance in which that's the case? Where it's not otherwise swapping an established character or shoe-horning it in just to appease diversity quotas?

      Again, this whole notion of "diversity quotas" is absurd IMO. For so many white characters, there's no reason why they "need" to be white. Why then do we need to justify creating characters of another race? White is not a neutral, default setting on humanity.

      And I completely agree with you. Make whatever you want, just make new stuff and make it good. Unlike these:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMUaGKxv76Q …

      White is not a neutral, but white is also not a nothing either. Building up to equality is fine; and I'm not saying that you are guilty of this, but simply recognize that others fear equality means a tearing down to the lowest common denominator: https://marushiadark.wixsite.com/darknessfiles/single-post/2017/11/04/The-Hegelian-Dialectic …

      The general cognitive blindness of progressives is that they include everyone BUT the majority, which falls short true equalism. Just as every other group fights to protect itself, so do white cis males, which is how and why the Alt-Right was born, using the same IdPol rules.

      Frankly, whether Alt-left or Alt-right, I think all identity politics is dumb, which is why I've elected to remain anonymous and remove myself from it, remaining in the center of the wheel.

      I don't have that luxury. I'm a trans woman. Everyone sees this when they look at me. Many people hate me because of it. My identity and the politics associated with it are not something I can decide to "remove myself from."

          As a public figure, unfortunately not. And you have my sympathies for that. 😟 As a transhumanist, I empathize with what you're going through and I do my best to promote a respect for human rights, truth, and evolution.

          This may be small comfort to you, but one thing I've found helpful is in distinguishing between moral judgements vs. aesthetic preferences and encouraging others to do the same, raising their awareness of why they feel the way they do.
