  • I won't dispute that there are some genuinely awful people masquerading as media critics on YouTube nowadays (coughcoughcriticaldrinkercoughnerdrotic), or that there is a chunk of the population who simply tune into their ragebait in search of opinions to plug into their brains. Those "media critics" could be comic book fans. I wouldn't know, I don't watch their channels. But if that were the sole driving force, why wasn't there a conservative outcry when Nick Fury, who was white in some comics and black in others, was portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson in the MCU? I find it difficult to believe conservative talking heads would ever pass up an excuse to complain about something like that if there was any kernel of truth to it.

    More importantly, why was there backlash against Ariel from people on the left who did not object to Miles Morales?

  • Inb4 someone calls you anti-science for this

  • I'd pull up statistics on movie ticket sales versus comic book sales and point out that the movie outsold the comics by (conservatively) 200 to 1, but there's no point bringing facts into an argument against a troll.

  • There aren't many conservatives on Lemmy. Why bother talking about what they think?

  • Could this be because people don't tend to get mad over things they don't know exist? Naaaaah, must be racism. Anyone who disgagrees that racism is the most likely explanation thinks racism is fake.

    What is it with leftists and making mountains out of molehills?

  • "Personally, I just want to chalk this up to racism so I can be upset about it"

  • Better than the reverse, I suppose

  • Personally I think a large part of the lack of outrage over the first four is that no one who watched the movies had heard of the source material. People who watch Marvel movies don't tend to read the comics, but Ariel was a Disney movie (one of the most famous of all time) remade as another Disney movie.

  • I hate you, take my upvote

  • please let this happen again i am SO upset i didn't get to go

  • maybe they'll take inspiration from their avatar and next learn a programming language that's actually good

  • you should learn Rust. the type system is so comprehensive that half the time you can guess what a function does (or at the very least what you're supposed to pass to it) without a single line of human written documentation.

  • we most certainly will not

  • I've always been baffled by this sentiment

  • I see Programmer humor lemmy is continuing the fine r/programmerhumor tradition of non programmers posting vaguely technology related memes that have dick all to do with programming
