[@Doobie-kx8fk]

And that's the most frustrating part. Has this dude EVER sat down and think what he's talking about sounds reasonable? That he should learn WHY people complain about race swaps like Velma and he might not understand (In the case of Teen Titans Go and Ben 10) what the flaws of the shows even are in the first place? But I guess it doesn't even matter cause a lot of the topics he's fighting about are things already talked about or resolved. NOTHING is being clarified and there is NOTHING new brought to whatever argument he's trying to make

[@simonpetrikov3992]

@@Doobie-kx8fkthe main problem with Velma’s race swapping is that when they did it they replaced Velma with Mindy Kaling’s self insert but with the name of Velma. From what I could tell about the reboot FOP’s main character that she’s intended to be a completely different person than Timmy so making it not a race swap to begin with

As a black person, in my opinion, this show works because it actually creates a new black character and doesn't change Timmy's skin. If you ask me how I feel about black representation, I would rather create a new character who happens to be black than change the skin of the original character

[@sarafontanini7051]

ironically the 4kids cartoon, while taking its own direction at many points, is the closest any of the adaptations got to actually following the 'spirit' of the original comics, even being the first time some characters only seen in the comics appeared in the show. Hell, its why Stockman was black (and why he was blakc in following adaptations)

[@sonloto8010]

Again, the 80s TMNT show was drastically different from the original comics. 2003 (until Fast Forward) was far closer to the comics. I'm not saying the 80s one is bad, it's just IMHO each iteration does their own thing, have their strengths and weaknesses, and it helps to make them stand out from one another.

Interestingly that was the season's Kori episode in Teen Titans...and this is literally what Tamaraneans have to deal with when Blackfire, backstabbing royal court members like Xand'r/Brother Eternity and her Gordanean mooks aren't around in the comics...and Vic was like...alright we're letting your boyfriend know...and Kori tries to say wait, but Vic says...now. I'm also thinking the whole reason why Nightstar gets so much flack as a ship over NightOracle? Kori is both designed and written as an intergalactic black woman with long ginger hair...in love with a white man...and this is the interracial couple that is almost DC's second beta-couple outside of the Clois and Wally/Linda OTP's yet it gets dunked on because of some irritating Batfamily characters can only be with people from Gotham nonsense, especially when part of Nightwing's whole deal is he's like his Auntie Wonder Woman, half-Supes/half-Bat's and has his own city and own personality that has somehow turned into the 9th back alley of Gotham with a slightly happier Batman Jr. for no good reason. If Nightwing's best pal can have an interracial relationship...why can't he? *Yes Kori was always intended to be black, she's just as light as Trudy Proud.

I do understand the importance of that episode being about judging people by their race, but people can relate to episode like this and not be black. As a black man who's grown up with dealing with ignorance of different people. That episode can hit home for multiple people of different race and/or backgrounds. That's why static shock is so popular like spiderman.

[@blueclube30000]

That also goes for cyborg. Sorry, copy post it from a either video I commented cover the video. Also I hate how people undermind the saying "I don't see race" means there judging them by their character, like how MLK literally dead for🤦‍♂️

[@infinitezion2029]

While true none of what you said takes away from the fact that the episode wouldn't work if Virgil/Static wasn't black or poc. He used the "I don't see race" card but brought up examples of characters who are very intentionally a certain race and examples of them alluding to or outright dealing with negatives that come with said ethnicity. Him ignoring those aspects of the character is basically saying "even if these guys are poc I don't have to think about it and can even pretend they aren't" which isn't a good take especially when trying to deny hating Chloe solely cuz she's black. Basically the "I don't see color" argument is doomed to fail every time cuz its rooted in the desire to ignore all color outright instead of just being cool with different ethnicitys.

[@blueclube30000]

​@infinitezion2029 Granted, the part with Chloe was poorly done and should be criticized. That one of the best parts to this video. But saying that i don't see race is doomed to fail. Is like true stories like the freedom writers was a poor message because people in the story come together from different ethnicities to fine peace make the school better. Hell , one of the antagonists of a story was a white woman who thought the teacher was in the wrong for having the kids get chances because there from the hood or how Daryl Davis as able to have a KKK leader quite and help his community be a black man shows his beliefs were wrong. There's plenty of that are popular and untold. If that doesn't work for you, then whatever🤷‍♂️

[@lou9635]

A good story is a good story, even if you can't relate.

[@redtailarts101]

Yes people can relate to the episode and not be black. That doesn't change the fact that the character is black, and was deliberately written with their race in mind, so saying "I don't see their race at all!" is pretty stupid. Being able to relate to a black character's storyline as a non-black person doesn't change that the character's blackness shapes who they are

I agree, but I'll be honest, as a black person. If I want representation based on my skin, I'd rather create A NEW CHARACTER that happens to be black than CHANGE RACE because it's cheap and lazy for having black representation. If you call me racist bc I didn't want the RACE CHANGE, now TRY TO THINK about this: If the original character was black and in movie changed his skin to be white, will get called out RACIST. But if the original was white and changed his skin to be black, won’t he be called racist??? Don't you see how stupid that is?

Wow Kamen! Even you’re getting in on dogpiling this crackpot of a user! Even if this isn’t what you work on these days, thanks for the content! Anyways, I’ve heard this on Cartoonshi and Alpha Jay’s channels many times, and I need to say this here in regards to how that guy went after that show… A New Wish is NOT a reboot. It IS a sequel, since Timmy is occasionally mentioned, and… HAZEL IS DIFFERENT FROM TIMMY. Timmy’s life utterly sucked, with incompetent parents, awful teachers, and Vicky… just Vicky. Hazel is a more down to earth character who, before running afoul of Vicky, had to deal with more relatable issues. Oh, and her parents love her and her teacher tries to help her to the best of his ability. Long story short, you can have an opinion on Hazel, but know that she isn’t a new version of Timmy, she’s actually a person who lives in the world that Timmy lived in, who just so happens to be Cosmo and Wanda’s next god-kid!

And Crocker (he’s now an old man who’s trying (and failing) to get into AJ’s new paranormal research organization).

I do find it funny that of the 3 character he brings up getting "race swapped" not only is Timmy incorrect, but April O'Neil is probably the 2nd most debated "race swapped" characters people bring up. Admittedly she wasn't ever black, bad faith actors just showed cherry picked images from the comics from after she got a perm, and people who don't know better look at this one image of what is ironically probably the palest she pretty much ever looks on the comics' covers and were like "oh, yeah, she is black" because of the perm. In the actual comic pages in black and white admittedly makes her kinda look black until she's next to a black character, where it becomes obvious that they actually color in black people's skin. (it has also been confirmed by people who worker on the comics that she was never intended to come across as anything but white) The only worse example I know of he could highlighted of the list he showed would be Starfire in Titans who has literally always been an yellow or orange skinned alien, not a white person. If anything Blackfire got whitewashed in Teen Titans Go, which was admittedly was to make it more visually obvious to children who was who, since they wear the same outfit and dye their hair to match the first episode she appeared.

[@ShadyDoorags]

Static, yes, but Cyborg was never a "black" character, as in, the show nor the character never focused on his race. He was a character who happened to be black. Even the "I'm part robot" line isn't just the writers dodging a bullet. Yes, most people think Cyborg would obviously say something about his race when Starfire asked him about prejudice, but the line actually makes sense to the character because Cyborg never experienced prejudice in regards to his race. Before his accident, he was a beloved athlete that was constantly praised. He only experienced prejudice after he became part robot, specifically because of that reason. If Cyborg had said "Of course I do, I'm black" that would not only get the show in hot water and make no sense to Starfire who doesn't see race, but would just be false to the character.

[@Mangakamen]

" If Cyborg had said "Of course I have, I'm black" that would not only get the show in hot water, but would just be false to the character." I mean, I think that's part of the reason why they did take the robot route there, especially since again in that scene, Starfire was specifically talking about her race of people. I'd say it's more like an allusion so they could make that point in that regard.

@@Mangakamen My view on this is somewhere between yours and Shady Doorags'. I don't think that one episode would have worked as well if Cyborg wasn't black because it subverts what people expect from a "racism PSA" episode by not only making someone other than the black guy receive the prejudice, but also having the black guy be ignorant of prejudice against his friend. That said, I wouldn't call Cyborg a "black" character outside of that one episode. In every other episode in the series, his race is incidental and never brought up. Most people in TT '03, even the villains, care more about who's good and who's evil than they do about anyone's race.

Exactly. Like it or not, race IS important to a lot of characters (and REAL PEOPLE!) and you can’t just look past it. Dismissing it isn’t a good look. People think saying “I don’t see color” isn’t harmful, but it loops right back to being racist. You can’t just say “I am actively ignoring the metaphors for racial injustice. I don’t care about them and they don’t matter to me. I am not going to listen to this because it doesn’t affect me.” That’s not as innocent as people think it is.

It felt like I could actually exist, despite how little that group of characters were. I'm an artist so I do one day want to make a mark on this world, and one day I hope I can do the same for other people who want to see themselves too. Nothing wrong with the characters I grew up with that weren't my color, I love them too, but it's just something else being able to see people like you exist as a kid that feels impactful.

But they DON'T ignore actions and personality, just race..why is that? Because they're racist and don't realize it. Race impacts the story and characters A LOT! Each race has their own individual struggles, which can be showed off in an episode or several or even the whole series..it impacts how other characters interact with you, how you live, it impacts everything just like how your gender matters!
