Today we're discussing something no one cares about: comic books! Don't worry, there's also racism, r*pe, bitter old men, the nature of fiction and its influence on reality, school shootings, and blackface in here. I'm posting in chunks because the automod is the devil. : Drama

Repost but it’s a great one. Also there’s this that got cut off by reddit.

A black woman reacts to Alan Moore ibcluding the living incarnation of blackface in his comic

The main problem with this is that LoEG was always about exploring the baggage of characters. The parts that got left behind as they got cleaned up and sanitized. Like Allan Quartermain’s drug use or Nemo’s casual murderousness and racism. You can’t feature the Golliwog in a work like that and not mention racism or how uncomfortable it is talking to a living breathing blackface caricature. Even Dianey knew better than to use the Mandarin from the comics. That’s why he’s a more civilized Genghis Khan instead of Fu Manchu in Legend of the Ten Rings.

Authors often don’t understand how their own work works. I know this from experience.

Yeah, it's a funny kind of blindness, because we see how we connected some things but can't always see why we connected them that way.
