Why are they race swapping some characters?

[Anonymous]

Why are they doing that? They made white characters such as Ariel, April O'Neil, Peter Parker (a. k. a spiderman) any race. But if they any black or hispanic or any non-white characters white it's racist. Do people even like white people?

April O’Neil being swapped out for a plus-size black kid in what is arguably the best iteration of TMNT in modern history is a negligible decision. If that makes you mad, that’s a you problem. April’s initial design was that of a black woman, they’re just going back to their roots.


And Peter Parker isn’t black. This was a specific distinction made by Stan Lee before he died because many people approached him with “What if we made Spiderman black?” And he made sure to specify that it was not Peter Parker that was the black Spiderman. Miles Morales is the black Spiderman. Every iteration of Peter Parker is white, including all the multiverse versions of him. You can't blame audiences for finding him more compelling, considering Tom Holland’s Spiderman was based off of Miles Morales’s story. He has a very interesting story compared to Peter Parker, whose story we’ve already seen portrayed three times by 3 different actors in 8 movies.

There has been withewashing for all ofmhollywoods history and only recently it was turned around. If you think this is a problem than why has it neder bothered you before when it was the other way around?

Also peter parker was never race swapped. Please dont talk about things you obviously dont understand.

I was a tax pro for several years, can you explain why so many blacks need thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars per year worth of government hand-outs while whites actually work for a living?

[msmissydc]

@SeekerOfTruth007 Thats not even slightly part of the question. But you can probably give a non biased source for you claims right?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Uh yeah, 99% of black tax clients get Earned Income Credits and Refundable Child Tax Credits while almost no white clients get that.

[msmissydc]

@SeekerOfTruth007 Thats not a source thats another claim.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Well do some research, kid. Check with the IRS if you don't believe me. I'm not lying about it and have no racist motivations either. I'm just sick of black people "sticking it to the man".

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Your black presidential candidate wants to tax white people 45% of their income and give it to black people (first time home buyers) in a 25,000 dollars free gift, on top of increasing "(Un) earned income credit" for blacks to some preposterous tens of thousands of dollars per year.

I kept a full-time job until I had my second diagnosed stroke, and I've never qualified for "earned income credit" and becuase I don't have children, i don't get ANY credits or deductions on taxes except standard deduction. Granted, I've been medically disabled for some time, but I worked my ass off when I was healthy, only to watch black people get a FREE RIDE for the past 20+ years.

I know because I did their tax returns and I'm an expert witness, so to hell with what you think.

I don't care if someone is a millionaire or a billionaire, nobody should have to pay 30% federal income tax, much less the 45% some people end up paying. I know a PREACHER who pays 60% marginal income tax by the time you count federal, state, and local income tax and then there's 10% sales tax on top of that... that may as well be SLAVERY.

The concept of race-swapping characters often stems from efforts to promote diversity and representation in media. It allows audiences of different backgrounds to see themselves in beloved characters and stories, fostering inclusivity. Many enjoy these fresh perspectives, while others may prefer traditional portrayals. The key is to embrace the variety and celebrate diverse storytelling, which enriches the artistic landscape. 🎭

People have been race swapping characters (any race characters, not just white) forever. I dont see the problem this falls under freedom of expression. If people don't like a race swap then the movie/book whatever, won't do well. That's a risk every creator takes with every character, regardless of race.

" Do people even like white people? "

Not when they're obsessing and complaining over extremely trivial things like fictional characters.
