I’d just like to point out that 50 Shades of Grey was Twilight fanfic and Twilight was inspired by Muse so when you think about it, it’s kinda because of Muse that 50 Shades was written in the first place oh

And Muse came from England which traces its roots back to the Anglo-Saxons and Romans, so really, in the end, Julius Caesar wrote 50 Shades of Grey.

someone should totally just stab caesar

Boy do I have some news for you

Wait, but then you have to remember that a lot of latin culture came from Etruscan and Greek culture, and since we know little about Etruscan culture, we can blame the Greeks. Greeks, in turn, was influenced by Mycanean culture, which was influenced by Minoan culture. So we can blame King Minos.

you know, christian grey seems like the type of person to fuck a cow and lock his half breed child in a labyrinth until its killed so that makes sense

This is a jar full of major characters 

Actually it is a jar full of chocolate covered raisins on top of a dirty TV tray. But pretend the raisins are interesting and well rounded fictional characters with significant roles in their stories. 

We’re sharing these raisins at a party for Western Storytelling, so we get out two bowls. 

Then we start filling the bowls. And at first we only fill the one on the left. 

This doesn’t last forever though. Eventually we do start putting raisins in the bowl on the right. But for every raisin we put in the bowl on the right, we just keep adding to the bowl on the left. 

And the thing about these bowls is, they don’t ever reset. We don’t get to empty them and start over. While we might lose some raisins to lost records or the stories becoming unpopular, but we never get to just restart. So even when we start putting raisins in the bowl on the right, we’re still way behind from the bowl on the left. 

And time goes on and the bowl on the left gets raisins much faster than the bowl on the right. 

Until these are the bowls. 

Now you get to move and distribute more raisins. You can add raisins or take away raisins entirely, or you can move them from one bowl to the other. 

This is the bowl on the left. I might have changed the number of raisins from one picture to the next. Can you tell me, did I add or remove raisins? How many? Did I leave the number the same?

You can’t tell for certain, can you? Adding or removing a raisin over here doesn’t seem to make much of a change to this bowl. 

This is the bowl on the right. I might have changed the number of raisins from one picture to the next. Can you tell me, did I add or remove raisins? How many? Did I leave the number the same?

When there are so few raisins to start, any change made is really easy to spot, and makes a really significant difference. 

This is why it is bad, even despicable, to take a character who was originally a character of color and make them white. But why it can be positive to take a character who was originally white and make them a character of color.

The white characters bowl is already so full that any change in number is almost meaningless (and is bound to be undone in mere minutes anyway, with the amount of new story creation going on), while the characters of color bowl changes hugely with each addition or subtraction, and any subtraction is a major loss. 

This is also something to take in consideration when creating new characters. When you create a white character you have already, by the context of the larger culture, created a character with at least one feature that is not going to make a difference to the narratives at large. But every time you create a new character of color, you are changing something in our world. 

I mean, imagine your party guests arrive

Oh my god they are adorable!

And they see their bowls

But before you hand them out you look right into the little black girls’s eyes and take two of her seven raisins and put them in the little white girl’s bowl.

I think she’d be totally justified in crying or leaving and yelling at you. Because how could you do that to a little girl? You were already giving the white girl so much more, and her so little, why would you do that? How could you justify yourself?

But on the other hand if you took two raisins from the white girl’s bowl and moved them over to the black girl’s bowl and the white girl looked at her bowl still full to the brim and decided your moving those raisins was unfair and she stomped and cried and yelled, well then she is a spoiled and entitled brat. 

And if you are adding new raisins, it seems more important to add them to the bowl on the right. I mean, even if we added the both bowls at the same speed from now on (and we don’t) it would still take a long time before the numbers got big enough to make the difference we’ve already established insignificant. 

And that’s the difference between whitewashing POC characters and making previously white characters POC. And that’s why every time a character’s race is ambiguous and we make them white, we’ve lost an opportunity.

*goes off to eat her chocolate covered raisins, which are no longer metaphors just snacks*

Because given recent events, THIS CLEARLY FUCKING NEEDS TO BE SAID AGAIN.

It’s back! *REBLOGS AND QUEUES*

exactly. Hell the only good storyline is connors. If it was just about a detective android and the subtext was actually subtle and the twist for the sake of twists was gone and david cages tropes werent all over it, it would be a legit good game. Like, its absolute biggest flaw is that its got davids fingerprints all over it

Can someone explain to me why Detroit Become Human was a bad game/story?

the whole slavery subtext was too on the nose and horribly executed. Forced love plots and several tropes that david cage uses in all his games. I think the only cageism that wasnt used was unexplained supernatural and an attempted sexual assault in an apartment. The story itself requires us to believe that humans (who were born in the 90s and 2000s) would be racist against robots similar to how conservatives are racist against immigrants even though in large, our generation knows that nobody is stealing our jobs, companies are just doing everything they can to screw people over and cut corners. Basically its just another shitty david cage game. a solid idea but piss poor execution

OH also i completely forgot to mention it but the whole twist of alice being an android is such a bullshit twist because in the beginning, shes fucking eating and also her not being human completely invalidates karas whole plotline. Its literally a twist that people predicted as joke predictions. you know, the ones that are so stupid that they would never happen.

One final thing; the gaping plothole that is everyone trying to get to canada because canada banned robots so its less likely theyre going to get caught when deviant. BUT the big problem that jericho is suffering is that they are running out of parts and fuel and are falling apart. And the big fucking plothole is that why are so many robots having an underground railroad to canada when canada would have NO maintenance stuff for robots!? they would fall apart even faster than in jericho because at least in jericho they scavenge parts from the junkyards and steal from the stores.
