    I feel like there’s a lot of cherry picking here too, because if we take the MCU, it also does some race swapping that nobody has a problem with.

    Nick Fury is one, but Samuel L Jackson is so cool in that role, it doesn’t matter.

    Heimdal is another one. Norse mythology, probably not a lot of black there, but Idris Elba is also so damn cool in the role that it does not really matter, and I’ve never heard anyone complain about these people.

    I think in general it’s more about if the people in the roles do a good job or not. Tilda Swinton did a great job. Johnny Depp… Maybe not so much, but I also do remember people were mad about that one.








  • Has its merits among the world’s normies, but if that’s not who you are, then that’s fine too. :)

    The easiest way to navigate social landscapes with people you don’t fit 100% with is to latch on to the things that make you fit together.

    Like, if sexuality is what sets you apart then focus on talking about books, current events (though if you’re from the US, maybe not politics), hobbies etc.

    My main squeeze is gaming, but I’ve gotten a bit to talk about regarding coffee after Covid.

    You will always have something to bring to the table, and if the normies are secure in who they are, they won’t mind you talking about your sexuality either.

    I guess what I’m saying is that you’re going to be fine. The normies are certainly not in lockstep like the post suggests, and that’s alright. You just focus on being the best version of yourself, and it’ll all be okay
