Tbf the magic transformation system in miraculous ladybug is partially based on the chinese zodiac and that doesnt stop them from adding new shit whenever they feel like it

View attachment 8588865

According to google in-lore these were created by human mages and earthly spirits though, unsure why ben 10s *alien* technology thing would be so focused on chinese culture. I thought implying that aliens built the pyramids n shit was considered racist now.

Didn't that Jackie Chan cartoon do this too?

Yes, the talismans each represent a different animal from the zodiac.

This is literally like naming an Asian superhero captain rice picker and then saying that it's actually not racist because you're celebrating Asian culture. It'd be far easier and better for them to apologize, redo that part of the episode, and move on. The industry has this process down to a science because of how often it happens and I don't get why these retards feel the need to argue when that never helps you.

That is because they are oversized children who have basically never been successfully told "no" and therefore don't know how to cope with rejection or backlash in any other way than to cry like a toddler about it until someone reverses the "no" to a "yes".

They're also niggers and thus lack higher cognitive abilities.

How is it even racist? A black guy made a black hero who wears a big-ass durag...so he's captain durag. Black people do wear those. Am I retarded?

No, your not retarded, summer child. The niggers who are talking about the show and putting too much effort for a lame ass joke are the retarded ones. They're adding all their traits and then blaming it on the "evil crackers" at disney.

Hello I am black, let me explain by bringing up an old game from the 2000s, Action Girlz Racing
action-girlz-racing-button-1649465790550.jpg
Action Girlz Racing was a Wii and PS2 game made in 2005 by infamous video game company, Data Design Interactive. It advertised itself as a racing game FOR girls BY girls, yet it was critically panned by girls and critics for being offensive. Why was that?
Well, everything in the game was vomit pink, you were driving through princess gardens and prom dancefloors, and collecting flowers n' shit. Worst of all, the game was terribly coded, that was the cherry on top.
Now, was Action Girlz Racing actually offensive? As a girl, no, I don't think so. But it was still bad, because the way it portrayed girlhood was through things that girls do indeed actually like/do, but in a tone-deaf "Being a girl is my whole personality" way. It was less so offensive and more so cringey.

Captain Durag is essentially the same, I disagree that he's racist, but I wouldn't want my kids growing up off of him cause he takes a pretty minute detail about being black (Wearing a hair accessory) and makes it his entire personality because "Hey black people do this". It's not offensive, just... I don't wanna say "shameful" cause that sounds too deep, but you know what I mean. It's cringe behavior that kids shouldn't be growing up off of, you're going to turn them weird awkward and annoying, just like how the creator of the show is. I think to put it in a more understandable context, imagine if there was an American white superhero called "Captain Crocs". You're not offended, but the idea of your kid unironically looking up to him as a savior of your race makes you want to cut all television out of your child's life. People are describing it best by saying it unironically sounds like something that'd play on the TV in GTA.

kinda defeats the whole premise unless they're saying all mythologies are based on ancient alien visitors.

Funny enough, this actually is canon. There was one episode where Max explained to the Tennyson kids that every known myth and legend is real and aliens were behind them all along. [Except for Bigfoot, that's just a guy in a suit.]

It's considered racist because why does a black superhero have to be named captain durag of all things? It shows that whoever thought of the character was just thinking of stuff stereotypically associated with black men like durags. It's like naming a fictional black woman Laquisha Johnquavious Brown and saying she works at a beauty supply store.
Racism can be highly contextual and unless you're friends with black people, you just won't get it all the way.

Neither of those two examples are racist, that's just things niggers do.

I disagree with this, I feel like common sense can lead your way, some people just enjoy not having common sense. It's whatever I guess, in 2026, I've concluded that it's probably best if you just keep your head down and take it cause the confrontation just isn't worth the trouble. I still remember when a friend of mine called me a nigger in anger and I just said "Ok.".

Stereotypes are oftentimes an exaggeration of reality.

It comes from a tendency, and then blows it out of proportion. I wonder how reality would be life if people really did treat me based on stereotypes, probably pretty difficult. I wouldn't be able to go out to eat with any of my friends cause they'd always suggest KFC for me. I hate KFC.
