Confessions of a sad superhero book 159

In regards to a post on Facebook about an upcoming videogame that re-imagines the black (alleged) samurai Yasuke. Seems I am getting into a lot of debates online these days with people who may or may not have been compromised by racism in their opinions on certain topics…

(Facebook)

A.A:

People who have a real culture and their own national identity do not take kindly to a parasitic demographic claiming their history and culture. 

Me: 

You do not represent the entirety of Japanese correspondence and white people have probably killed more folks than any other race so stop with that parasitic crap. Blacks are such a small demographic yet the media pushes a narrative that does not reflect how the majority of us think or feel. If you really wanna be technical about it the entire human race has been a parasite on this planet. Just stop the BS. 

A.A:

The fact that you think it's about skin color shows how lost you are. No one is arguing against a black man in Japan, it's his title, and what he did in history. It's like what they did on Netflix with Cleopatra, saying she was black despite all evidence saying she wasn't, and to prove it? you get a random grandmother who says "I don't care what they tell you in school, Cleopatra was black" which caused a similar uproar in Egypt. DEI sucks and is making everything lame. It's racist too, which is irony. 

Me:

Its a videogame based VERY loosely on history events and this literally happens all the time in media and no one complains but the minute Yasuke comes along everyone seems to be losing their collective minds. (I'm sure that has absolutely nothing to do with his skin color) Anyway its all fiction and its a videogame. Am I to believe everytime someone does a videogame based on actual people EVERYTHING has to be true and fact checked to a tee. Come on. Just STOP. Its entertainment and thats all it is.
