Would you see problems if an animation only had dark skin characters?

Nope, go ahead and make an animation only about gyarus

Dark skin characters that fits your story far better than any white villain could ever do

[CrimsonAngel09]

No? I have Afro Samurai on DVD. Boondocks is made up of like 96% black characters.

Nothing wrong with them.

not if it was a cartoon about life in the hood.

So are there limits to black artists and black characters in fiction? Is it seeing stories in which there are only white characters in all types of stories, it is also extremely common for only Asian characters in all types of fictional settings, but doesn't the same freedom apply to black characters? Interesting...

If a cartoon depicts a realistic racial bias it is okay but if it shows an unrealistic bias it is just pandering to liberals.

[Asker]

Who said the story will talk about prejudice? It's just a fictional story.

[Asker]

I didn't even mention politics in my question, what do liberals have to do with it? I repeat: it's just a fictional story with black characters. Asians create many stories with only Asian characters in fictional scenarios that do not involve their own culture or country, white people do the same thing, so why should it be any different with black people?

[exitseven]

A lot of TV shows today always portray black people as doctors and judges and police chiefs. It just looks like they are pandering to liberals.

[Asker]

I didn't understand. Is it a problem to portray black people as doctors, judges and police chiefs? Black people in these professions exist in real life, including black people in these professions who are conservative. What does this have to do with liberals? It seems like you only think about it.

[exitseven]

They make it all about race instead of acknowledging that we are all created equal.

[Asker]

Isn't it perhaps you who are conditioned to see it this way? As I already said, black doctors, police officers, judges, etc., exist in real life. There is nothing wrong or problematic about the existence of a black character as a police officer, doctor, etc.

I would think I was watching BET

[Asker]

What would BET be? I'm not a native English speaker...

[Opinion Owner]

Oh it’s a Black Entertainment Television channel in the USA. Also most of our commercials have black and mixed people in them mostly yet white people are the majority still here then Latin people then black Americans then Asian so it’s really strange how they show mostly the minority as the biggest demographic on television

[Asker]

And do you think it's wrong for black people to appear in commercials? In your opinion, should they appear less?

[Opinion Owner]

No but I think it should be more realistic and appear as often as we see them in the real world, otherwise it just looks like we are living in a black country on tv instead of what it really is which is a mix of every race and culture not just one

[Asker]

So do you think there should be a limit for black people in the media? If so, do you also apply the same logic to fiction? For example, in your opinion, is an animation with only black characters not quite right?

[Opinion Owner]

It should be realistic that’s all, if a show or cartoon is all black then it’s not realistic unless you’re in demographic that is that majority but if you’re watching a cartoon that is all black then it obviously must be catered towards that group or country it’s in just like in a Chinese country you’re not going to see European white characters on tv as the majority, you probably wouldn’t see any or black characters

[Asker]

So are there limits to fiction in your opinion? Is an animation based on a black boy going to a dimension of magic, swords and monsters where humans are black wrong? Hum interesting.

[Opinion Owner]

Probably not in that aspect since it’s just fiction and a cartoon

[Asker]

I understood your point. If there was a limit for black characters in a fictional story, then it would be strange since there is everything in fiction. There are stories of Asian characters dying and being reincarnated in a world of European mythology and still maintaining many Asian customs, such as Asian cuisine. If a person doesn't see a problem with that, then it would be strange if they saw problems in a story with black characters based on African mythology or in any story with black characters, for example.

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, I don’t see any problem with that all in all, I guess you’re going to create this animated series of fiction? Seems like you’re trying to see what people will think

[Asker]

Yes, my goal is to create my own story.

[riverrat3]

Nope
