This Shit Still Doesnt Sit Right With Me. As A Black Person, This Just Comes Off As A Very Easy Way Out

this shit still doesn’t sit right with me. as a black person, this just comes off as a very easy way out for basically making a comparison between black ppl and monsters, whether intentional or not.

yes there IS a tradition in fiction of using historical and modern events as inspiration, but that doesn’t mean it’s always done well or with the best of intentions, and judging by your response to another ask on ‘memed battles between wizards and swat teams’, this just seems like a weird world building exercise that frankly comes off as lazy and grossly insensitive.

there’s already a VERY long history in the media of portraying black ppl as brutish and animal-like and your work just seems to make light of blm and the very real struggles of black people

using the blm movement for a fancomic is so incredibly disrespectful that i genuinely cant tell if that “monster lives matter” ask response was supposed to be a joke or not.

why?? would u think that’s ok????

Is it wrong to look at history, both recent and not-so-recent to better predict how Americans might react to a fictional group? I personally don’t think so. I’m sorry if the comparison seemed disrespectful, and I’ll try to approach with respect a bit better. But in general I don’t think drawing those comparisons is inherently bad.

There’s also a really long and proud tradition of using fiction to illustrate problems that happen in real life with too many examples to name. It’s a great tool in spreading empathy and awareness to those who didn’t have it before.
