yet they couldnt help but apply on finn character the overused classic "afro comical relief sidekick archetype" that always had been bound to fall upon most afro actors since ages...
also fun thing: empire died, but first order kept the whole stormtrooper armor design... go figure
and also the cereomony of first death star shot, with the speech of a black uniform's leader in front of big red flags with some black symbols and some white around... such 1930-ties savor (paul verhoeven dared such joke, in stormship tropper, the first, but there it was "funny" at least)
also too bad they rumored yet dismissed again actress tatiana maslany (as already several other hollywood projects failed on her too), considering how good performance this actress is able of (i still am impressed over her many characters in orphan black)
so again, put a "pretty face" female for the lead to quiet the vocal feminists, put a black sidekick but with still usual afro comic relief archetype... i'm not sjw at all, but i prefer an industry that keep on doing usual stuff, rather tahn one that hyppocritly and cowardly give ground to vocal minority critics yet still sneak their old way all the same. get balls ! keep being yourself, or promote minorities but in a respectful and wellcrafted way
it feels like when in games they throw in female lead character as a random empty shell for the sake of avoiding social media onslaught instead of just fleshing out character properly.
i am not against minorities in games (or movies/tv shows) at all. i however hate when they are thrown in as bone to dog and forced upon games down our throat without other intent and explanation than "it's for positive discrimination sake". it doesnt do any good to anyone. it fuels rage after unfairness, it's taking custo-gamer for an idiot, and giving up to the hysterical toxic small portion of any "sides" or "clans" who plays/act against their self-claimed causes.
as a grownup adult and above oyster-iq gamer/consumer/watcher, i desserve better products. stop shoving things up my throat for no reasons
