For those complaing about lack of diversity

Story & Setting
#21

Complaining about so-called miscasting, for some, IS about not liking attempts to be more diverse with main characters not just being white. They might be fine with a black actor playing some other role, but they’d damn well better not make a normally white character black!

Some people flipped their shit when a black actress was cast as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on stage, and they flipped their shit even more when J.K. Rowling defended it. People also flipped their shit when she said Dumbledore was gay.

Don’t bother trying to talk in absolutes to me. I’m not playing that game with you.

I already read that story. That’s why I brought it up.

#23

Read my first message. I said “diversity means anti white to SJWs.” You disagreed. You can’t find a single example of anyone using diversity to mean anything other than anti white.

Don’t get off topic. I made a specific statement. You disagree. Yet you are unable to find a single example of it being used as anything other than anti white.

Find me even a single example of people complaining about a lack of diversity that doesn’t mean too many white people, and I will accept your position. Fail to do so and any logical person would have to admit they are wrong.

#24

I don’t need you to accept my position. I’m not trying to change your mind, and I’m not interested in digging up anything else to satisfy you. I’ve done that too many times in the past only for people to try to move the goalposts. You’ve already tried to do that as it is.

All diversity means to me is having a cast that covers a realistic range of actual people out there as befits the story being told. For KCD, that means a Caucasian cast of characters makes the most sense. For something based on the current real world, I would expect a broad range of ethnicities and so on to be represented if the setting calls for it.

Nothing you said disproves my original statement. All you said was “no it doesn’t.” That’s not an argument. I can give you multiple examples of the lack diversity meaning too many white people. You can’t even find one where it is used for anyone other than white people.

#26

You mistake my lack of interest as a lack of ability. That’s a small but important distinction.

#27

First, that’s not what diversity means. Second, we are not talking about what diversity means to you, I am happy to accept that’s what it means to you.

What I am talking about is what it means when used in this context by SJWs. It has only one meaning. Too many white people.

#28

I suggest you pull out your dictionary and look the word up.

And you can have your point about SJWs. I don’t really care about them. They have no impact on what I do or don’t enjoy.

I think his point is even though you “don’t care about SJW” your comments are very similar to theirs.

#30

Well if not, then i don’t understand why you are all that angry about it…

#31

I’m not sure what part of anything I typed made you think I was angry. I was not. Would more smiley faces have helped?

#32

In what way? I’m not demanding people of color or strong female protagonists in KCD. I’m not demanding a bunch of white people in Black Panther. I’m not making a fuss over who’s cast in a role that traditionally was represented by a white character in a comic book.

All I’m saying is I’m fine with whatever someone’s decision is as long as it makes sense to me. How is that in any way taking the attitude of a SJW?

I hold that diversity does not mean anti-white (or anti-female for that matter, which is additional proof that this is not just a skin color thing), but rather a reasonable balance and range of representation - when it should apply.

Most of all stating diversity means “Anti-White”. But also the overall fact that you have to discuss about this.

#34

No, I just meant that the people complaining about diversity are really just saying too many white people. Anyone complaining about a lack of diversity is complaining about too many white people.

They eventually agreed, so I’m done, unless someone finds an example proving me wrong, then I would be happy to reconsider my position.

#35

So the only way you think someone can discuss this topic is with anger? I completely disagree. Any topic can be discussed logically and dispassionately.

#36

Yes, but as said, statements like “Anit-White” sound like anger.

#37

In your attempts to paint the diversity argument as anti-white only, you’ve completely forgotten about women, homosexuals, and so on. Sorry to remind you of that small point.

#38

Not at all. You’re obviously unfamiliar with SJW nomenclature. Anything dealing with gender issues is misogynistic. Diversity means anti white. Misogyny means any difference between men and women.

Anything to do with “LGBT community” you can’t be gay or what ever, you have to be part of a community, is homophobic.

#39

Okay, then. And with that, I think I’ve said all I care to say about this. You/SJWs/whoever can have your semantics if it makes you feel better.

I’ve got a warm bed waiting for me, so that’s where I’m headed. Be well.

Speaking of gay or what ever, #NotYourShield was another #GamerGate tag, where people that were gay or what ever, or not white, that didn’t agree with SJW Polygon, Kotaku and Neogaf, used to express their distaste for being forced into a box by SJWs and told how to think.

That’s also how this all started. The reason this game caught their attention in the first place was Dan’s support of GG and the idea that there should be ethics in game journalism and that collusion, witch hunts, and wrong think were not something he supported.

He supported the best kind of diversity, diversity of ideas.
