Well this is white person they won't have to worry about judging them.

The messaging in the show seems to be headed in the wrong direction and now the black actors are out here crying as usual. Even when they have a chance to win, they whine.

And needlessly injecting race into what could have been a good show is going to lose a lot of people.

I mean it's a show about aliens and superheroes. Why not leave it at that?

Which is a projection/prediction
ii am not a sad sack oppressed black man. Not sure about projection.

Prediction, sure. But done with knowledge of Lindelof and his writing/showrunning. He's just doing Watchmen again.

They can't. It's easier to play a victim for a cause than to own up to their own lives recognize their own privilege.

My point is that social media isn't real life. Supergirl failed because no one cared and the movie sucked for those that did go watch. Not because youtubers were hating on it.


The video gaming industry is currently going through regular mass layoffs because they thought woke would sell and bought into the whole idea that the "gamergate" crowd was a small sampling of gamers instead of the entire available audience.

I'd wager the target audience for superheroes/comic books isn't a much different demographic than the target audience for video games. If they keep doing this crap, they are heading straight to failure.

Only idiots and those who were looking to purposely tank American culture believed that. Anyone with any ounce of common sense knew woke would kill the gaming industry, and it, along with private equity, have

Hey I completely agree. I've been pushing against this change all along, and now they're having to pay the piper. Can't say I'm losing sleep over that.

I heard part of a podcast the other day and the guy was saying that computer/console gaming is 10 times, dollar-wise, the size of the movie industry. Is that true or an exaggeration?

I was gonna comment on this picture earlier but it slipped my mind. She looks like Jemele Hill's uglier sister. Why do her tits point to 4 and 8 on the clock? The kid's making a face like her pussy stank.

Well…..now I know why the third episode was a steamy turd.

You know what’s the least original, lowest skill, zero creativity thing you can do black peoples? Complain about how hard it is for you to wake up and move your arms and legs like every other human on earth everyday because of the color of your skin, over and over and over and over and over and over.

Was enjoying it so far, hopefully that’s a one and done for that “writer”.

Edit: fricking black struggle splainin’ to the god damn alien. Jesus lol

I wouldn't doubt it, but I have no idea if that is true. When you consider that every phone is a "gaming device" these days, it's easy to imagine the total value of the gaming industry being pretty high.

Yeah. Not all projection is self-projection...

You are projecting your opinion about one character onto the future behavior of another character, regardless of how that character has behaved so far.

See..
Maybe the writing has a point.

The mom spoke the "hardships of loving as a black person in the 90s".

Wouldn't you think racism is a FEAR? As Jon is raised he fears nothing.
And as the Guardian asks questions, Jon has no part of it. He states that he doesn't have any betraying thoughts about Hal or his father missing out.
He literally states its not his motivation. And even defends humans on how they are not programmed and love beats crazy and racism.
