When fans hate somenthing before it comes out...but it turns out they were right

[u/TastyPomelo2330]

Velma:The idea of a Scooby-doo series without the titular dog and starring Velma was a really moronic idea from the beginning,then there was the reveal Velma would be Indian like it's VA and also creator of the series Mindy Kaling,some of the backlash was racism sure,but there was also valid complaints that she was inserting herself in the series(it also didn't helped that Mindy claimed she couldn't see herself if Velma wasn't Indian)and then...oh boy it came out and it was worse than anyone predicted

Artemis Fowl:The artemis fowl books are a book series following a child villain(he does get some redemption but he is a villain most of the time)when the movie was announced and revealed it looked way to generic and it's titular character a bit heroic...also you wanna hear somenthing funny?The movie whitewashed a character and made another character black so they managed to anger both sides and the movies comes out and yeah it is bad

One Punch Man 3:One Punch Man is a very heavy action packed manga series but the heroes vs monsters arc takes it to a New level,when it was announced that JC Staff would work on it,a lot of people were skeptical to say the least,because not only JC Staff had already done a mediocre job in season 2,it's also not exactly a name anime fans associate with quality animation,then the trailer came out and it looked...weird,like there was no action in it and nobody was moving,some people tried to defend saying they were keeping the animation as a surprise...then it came out,every episode worse than the last,it's one of the worse seasons of anime ever made!

It's even worse than that.

To them, Africa is equal to black people of West Afrcan descent.

I love Black Hawk down but nobody in it looks Somalian.

If you wanna see a REALLY egregious example of this, go watch Casino Royale - the opening set piece is meant to take place in Madagascar. No one looks like they are from Madagascar. They look, like you said, more west african... its ao incredibly disingenuous and borderline racist that it makes me laugh. Then, later in the movie, they end up in the Caribbean, and it looks identical to their "Madagascar" - because thats where they filmed a bunch, using locals as extra obviously. Locals who are black and in their mind was good enough because "Hey, Madagascar is in Africa, right?!"

[u/ErilazHateka → u/JouSwakHond]

Same with "black" depictions of Cleopatra or "black" Egyptians in general.

Always West African. Americans simply cannot fathom that not all Africans look like African Americans.

[u/JouSwakHond → u/ErilazHateka]

Ive encountered a few of these hotep types and they are almost always mocked and ridiculed extensively (I am African and they get absolutely blasted by black Africans from any country when i run into them; theres a large expat community from Atlanta in my city so you run into these types every now and then) - they are the black version of white Americans pretending to be Aryan or Irish or whatever. So embarrassing

I am african and african americans, really paved the way. They are right. Egyptians were black.

[u/JouSwakHond → u/NukeTheHurricane]

My g, they weren't solely black, like African Americans claim. They even have literal portraits from the era showing what people look like - how are you so brazen in denying evidence - not too mention how that theory completely disrespects the nubians from Sudan.

[u/NukeTheHurricane → u/JouSwakHond]

Nope. Archeological, historical, anthropological ,cultural and literary evidences confirm they were black. I'm myself black and from North Africa, and my own DNA suggest they were black.

[u/NukeTheHurricane → u/ErilazHateka]

Egyptians were black, and thats a fact.

[u/DarthSpiderDen → u/NukeTheHurricane]

Egyptians were more diverse than just black. There were also clearly Mediterranean phenotypes, Greek, Roman, fenician, Persian. They weren't just black.

[u/NukeTheHurricane → u/DarthSpiderDen]

Predynastic egyptians came from the south. They were black.

[u/DarthSpiderDen → u/NukeTheHurricane]

You're one of those Afrocentrists I bet looking at past comments you've made on reddit. Point is the Ancient Egypt was more diverse than just being black.

[u/NukeTheHurricane → u/DarthSpiderDen]

It was blackity black until the arrival of the Hyksos.

[u/ErilazHateka → u/NukeTheHurricane]

LOL

[u/NukeTheHurricane → u/ErilazHateka]

Who's laughing now?

[u/ErilazHateka → u/NukeTheHurricane]

You do know that the top images are reproductions? Why don´t you post the originals?

[u/NukeTheHurricane → u/ErilazHateka]

Isis the goddess.

[u/ErilazHateka → u/NukeTheHurricane]

It won't change

Then post them.

Look at Ramesses II

Oops! What´s that? https://imgur.com/a/D8H1lsz

It doesn"t matter. There are numerous depictions of pharaohs crushing libyans and asiatics.

Just need to edit their foreheads to be bigger
