But all these girls original characters my dude. I'm fine with black actors and characters. But don't just take a white character and make her black. Make a new character. This is just as bad as whitewashing. If an original movie comes out about a black mermaid, hell yeah I'll watch it. But not this.

What’s next, after a black Ariel? A black Cinderella?!

A black Fairy Godmother?!

A black Glinda the Good Witch?!

A black Belle from Beauty and the Beast?!

A black Juliet?!

A black vampire?!

A black Roxie Hart?!

A black pair of Voodoo bokors?!

A black witch?!

A black Joan of Arc?!

A black pirate queen?!

A black Adam and Eve?!

A black superhero?!

A black doctor?!

A black professor?!

A black cop?!

A black BLACK PERSON?!?!?!! Potentially?!?! Is it possible!?!

I feel like the best way to respond to someone you’re friends with making gross, racist, sexist etc. jokes isn’t to argue with them or call them out directly, but just to kind of wince at them like they just did something incredibly inappropriate and awkward and try to change the subject. Like, almost in an exaggerated way, like you’re just really disgusted and want to forget they said it. Arguing with them lets them 1) shoehorn you as a “SJW” and shut themselves off to you 2) defend their opinion or feel like they did and 3) lets you end up categorized as the person who did the inappropriate thing by making a “big deal” out of it. But acting like you would with any extremely gross and inappropriate thing makes it harder for them to mentally defend themselves and thus to avoid feeling weird and ashamed. It prevents them from getting in any way satisfied by your reaction or validated in their views. It makes them the person that broke a rule. And anyway, it is really gross and inappropriate to joke like that. It has to be a taboo, not just a viewpoint or a style of humor that some people don’t like. If you argue, it frames the issue as an opinion. If you just show disgust and displeasure and treat the offensive material like you would a pile of dog shit on a sidewalk you’re walking down, it’s not arguable. It’s an action, with nothing intellectual about it, and there’s nothing for them to defend against. 

Anyone have any thoughts? Has anybody tried this? 

Writing Tip

Change paragraphs when:

- A new person is speaking

- A new idea is introduced

- A new character comes along

- A new event happens

- The setting is changed

- The “camera” moves

- Time moves forward or backward a lot

Mammals both produce milk and have hair. Ergo, a coconut is a mammal.
