I got a little bit of something that everybody can enjoy, I think. 😌
Comic-accurate superhero costume appreciation post.
It doesn't have to be done 100% of the time, but I'm done w/ the excuse that comic costumes always look goofy, when translated to live-action TV & movies.

smh, imagine thinking slogans like
#ItsOKToBeWhite
&
#ItsOKToBeStraight
are necessary, when straight White people have had a stranglehold over sociocultural norms since literally the dawn of Western "civilization".
Marginalized ppl demanding equal rights is NOT OPPRESSING YOU.
@killafran
I can't imagine how such an awful person was raised. Where are the White fathers to teach their kids not to harm others like this? Something just isn't right w/ that culture, if you ask me.
smh, I blame country & rock music.
@terrycrews
Black Supremacy should not, does not, will not & cannot exist.
You could easily just speak up for the benefits of co-existing w/ White people (who use their privilege for good) w/o creating some ludicrous false equivalency b/w Black self-love & systemic White oppression.

@NikkiMcR
I'm at a loss.
If the violent subjugation of people belonging to a single race (in order to treat them like subhuman servants) is not racist, then the concept of racism has no teeth at all.
He is DANGEROUS & I hate that there are people out there who'll believe & agree w/ him.

😌 First things first, a couple conditions:
-I get to choose/agree WHO I'm the sidepiece for
-Any gifts I receive DO NOT count toward the $3k/wk
-I'm freelance; if I get an equal/better option, or ever want out, I'm not contractually exclusive
-My first payment is *up front*
@ParkerTamlin
While myriad more optimistic implications might be presumed of this miniscule manifesto, it would appear most probable that your indications are, indeed, a thing less fortuitous than parodic socioethnic punditry. Your attempt to elucidate subtle bigotry, ironically exposes yours.

Black mutants who are mostly ignored by Marvel's X-Men editorial office, despite having impressive power sets that, logically, should make them ripe w/ potential for any arc involving evolution-obsessed mad scientist villains
@ughhmedusa
I need horror movies w/ THESE vampires! Marvel need to give me Blade battling them alongside the mainstream vampires, in this upcoming MCU movie!
DC Comics had no problem w/ a movie where Harley Quinn forces Nightwing, or Batman gets it on w/ Batgirl (let's not even get on the subject of Joker violating Batgirl in the comics), but pleasing Catwoman consensually is a bridge too far for them?? smh, I see... 🙄
RT if at least one of your favorite fictional characters, DOES NOT share your same:

-Race/Ethnicity
-National Origin/Citizenship Status

-Gender/Sex (expression)
-Romantic/Sexual Orientation
-Religion/Faith/Philosophy
@lingerie_addict
On the one end, Bailey Hoskins has the mutant power to off himself via violent explosion.
On the other end of the spectrum, his friend Miranda has reality bending powers so profound, she's the ONLY omicron-level mutant in existence.
WORST X-MAN EVER was such a fun X-Men comic.
-focuses on demographic minority
-feared & persecuted for genetic, physical & psychological differences
-often features protests, political convo, trials, media talk & laws irt the characters' very existence
But X-MEN is *not* about civil rights & social justice? Oh, okay. 🤔
#Thunderball
being Whitewashed was such an unexpected insult. I get that most people don't care about the Wrecking Crew, but dang, of this group, not only is Dr. Eliot Franklin the only Black one, he's the only one w/ a brain & the first hints of a redemption arc.

@sapphyreblayze
Jack Black could have voiced both Mario AND Bowser & I don't think anyone would have batted an eye or raised a single word of disagreement.
@Lexialex
Because that would make Black people brave & honorable patriots, rather than lazy, violent, ignorant good-for-nothings.
And White supremacists can't have that.
Doctor Strange is trending, so a periodic reminder: 'Multiverse of Madness' is abbreviated as the acronym 'M.O.M.' & not only will it likely feature Scarlet Witch reuniting her twin sons, but will probably also show young America Chavez lose her mothers & escape to our universe.
I desperately pray y'all eventually read comics.
Spider-Woman had a run a few years ago, Dennis Hopeless wrote, where not only was Jessica Drew pregnant; we got to see her progress further & further up til childbirth. Not new, not shocking, def worth a read!

@TheeDCstan
Non-Black folks perceive Blackness as tied to being cool, impressive, powerful, influential, etc, and they hate & envy it, so they either want to internalize & identify with it, or take pride in being able to undermine it to prove their own worth.
@soledadobrien
@russburlingame
That level of vile hatred and cruelty should bar this man from ever being entrusted to serve and protect anybody. Forget just "he shouldn't have been hired back", he himself should be arrested and put on some sort of watch list.
Something is plainly wrong in this man's soul.
This is a false dichotomy; Black people can walk & chew gum at the same time (buying both mainstream comics & indie comics, if we choose), and we're allowed to support both distinct Black heroes & ones that inherit a legacy hero name.
I want more well-told Black stories, PERIOD.
@DiscussingFilm

1) Your inaccurate diss was likely meant for Gen-Z (who ALSO aren't to blame)
2) I'm a millennial & actually was interested to see your movie...all 2 times I saw marketing.
3) I saw that marketing for your movie BECAUSE of my cell phone, using Twitter

I gotta give a side-eye to any creator who thinks that the solution to ADAPT the source material is to utterly IGNORE the source material. 🤨
No thanks to that guy returning to play Sunspot in the MCU.
Roberto DaCosta is a Biracial Brazilian Afro-Latino (Black dad, White mom); his original intended design had dark skin; his mutant powers literally manifested bc White soccer opponents attacked him *FOR BEING BLACK*.
'THE NEW MUTANTS' star Henrique Zaga wants to return as Sunspot in the MCU.
"I feel like Sunspot is such a beloved character and I absolutely love him. I think there’s still so much to explore still with that storyline."

Kratos, in Greek myth, never had any kids, let alone a son named Atreus.
That is GAME mythos, which is freaking FINE.
But please don't sit here & suddenly bemoan the liberties taken w/ Greek or Norse myth, unless you wanna take it ALL to task.
Angrbøda, HERE, is Black. Period.
THIS right here is why representation is important.
The second you slacking on authentic representation of Brown & Black people, venomous, hateful bigots like this come out the woodwork, trying to normalize ideas like people w/ melanin needing to be "purified" (ie erased).
@carlytron
BREAKING NEWS: Black people would like to be portrayed in media as well-rounded individuals, rather than pigeonholed into roles exclusively focused on ignorance, inferiority, failure, trauma, criminality & tragedy.
@EW
Full offense: if your instinct, when telling a former-slave abolitionist story, is to turn the SLAVE into a WHITE SAVIOR...
Just...
Even if you ignore the "political correctness" aspect, the blatant disrespect for HISTORY, shows you have no business making this movie, PERIOD.
@HamillHimself
@jimmyjohns
There's nothing to be proud of here! A precious life is snuffed out & he won't eat the meat, or use the skin or bones for anything. He just wanted to take down a large animal to make himself feel bigger. It's absolutely disgusting that this is someone's idea of fun/entertainment.
I cannot express the depth of my appreciation for folks who don't use their fandom knowledge/experience as a way to put others down.
As a newcomer to many fandoms, I cannot express how tiring it can get to deal w/ fandom gatekeeping & elitism. Being a fan should always be fun.
@TaikaWaititi
Didn't you JUST make a movie about Nazis? Surely you know how insidious their tactics can be, including gaslighting the public into thinking of oppressed groups as "outside agitators". 😒😒😒
@LoveAndShalom
That's vile. Thank goodness it was not something so severe as a deathly allergy, but he does not need to be with anyone. I truly hope she gets away from him. (And probably has some older siblings, or friends to jump him for endangering her health, tbh)
@JohnPaczkowski
@GailSimone
Also, follow-up, if Google & Apple are "totalitarian", why would they want to affiliate w/them at all, let alone feel so mad about it as to mount violent retaliation?
These people are clearly detached from reality, just looking for an excuse to be violent.

Not every villain needs a tragic backstory of abuse/neglect/mental illness/financial hardship or some sort of persecution.
Some folks don't REALIZE the harm they do, don't CARE who they hurt, or even ENJOY hurting others.
In fact, abuse of privilege should be a more common MO.

srsly, what makes Boone's "really rich dad" comment SO insulting--Roberto da Costa's Black dad IS the rich one in the family!

Kratos, in Greek myth canon, never once crossed paths w/ the Norse pantheon of deities.
Nor was he a god of War. Son of Styx (goddess of hate & the underworld river Styx), Kratos was god of strength; Zelos (Rivalry) was his brother; his sisters were Bia (Force) & Nike (Victory).
@herosnvrdie69
The concept is just...SO dangerous.
I'm just supposed to comply w/ this person who claims they're an officer--when it's entirely possible a murderer or some other criminal could easily just speak authoritatively to impersonate a police officer?
Then if I question & resist--RIP
A woman who can
-fly
-survive in outer space
-shoot photon blasts
-bench-press a planet
-wade through a pack of ravenous fanboys unscathed
AND fight an angry evil alien edgelord on short notice.

I know not every racist incident is recorded & not every bigot faces consequences, but I'm so grateful when they're finally held to account for their hate.
People shouldn't have to fear their lives are in danger just because their skin is too dark for somebody else's liking.
ngl, casting Mo'Nique as Granny Goodness would actually be ingenious, she'd quickly become an iconic high-profile Black woman villain for her beauty, charisma & presence; cackling, callous & calculating, she'd easily steal the show, if given that chance.
