everything is asians, white people, and white looking asians? well sv is a bunch of weebs. is this meant to be news?
Why does SV have so many problems with bigotry despite the tighter regulations it has compaired to other sites?
change despite to because. if you're hairtrigger about it you get tons of incidence reports. conversely if you're pol you generate none at all despite every 12th word being "kike". just like drug arrests going solely by report/enforcement statistics is a terrible way to track crime.
So... Worm takes place in the only city on the east coast that doesn't have minorities, because a white nationalist movement was so successful that it went past redlining and segregation and actually performed a full-scale ethnic cleansing?
That honestly seems like the kind of thing I'd have heard before.
it's an alternate setting where the east coast was swarmed with japanese migrants(why not west cost?) after half the country sank. they kindof pushed out the others in port towns, and brocton's incredibly racist and territorial white and asian gangs finished the job.
yeah wildbow doesn't know how that sort of thing works. if you're feeling unusually charitable abb and e88 might plausibly have squeezed out any notable gangs and parahumans, and the rest of the people are just nameless extras so you could pretend theres a normal amount of civilians that skitter just didn't deign to notice, she isn't exactly the sanest or most reliable of narrators anyway.
The more time I spend on this site, the more often I see people who fit into actual caricatures. It's hilarious. Here, we have the wild poster saying that media from Japan, an incredibly xenophobic and racist country, doesn't actually have a problem with diversity. This person is also trying to give excuses for this site's racial bias, assuming that if you have a good enough explanation for something problematic, it no longer is a problem. Fantastic.
lol I said nothing of the sort. you're just transparently trying to shove words into my mouth.
based solely on internet anecdotes(a mistake) japan sounds racist as fuck compared to western countries in general, but that has nothing to do with
sufficient velocity having too many white characters. the argument that "irl japan has some black people now, so fanfics of settings that don't seem to contain any should just have a few dozen thrown in for representation" is stupid (in my opinion, who's else would it be).
it's not "if a problematic blabla good enough explanation it's fine" it's not an excuse it's being sensible and actually looking at the problem instead of just a virtuesignal circlejerk. what I said was "you seem to be shoehorning in something to worry about that isn't even there, the root cause is entirely external and partially imaginary, tangent: if you want to blame the japanese media that's fine i guess but utterly pointless to discussing 'how sv can overcome this troubling trend' /tangent. so if you see a problem here how would you fix it?"
like I said, crw writes whatever setting is popular and tends to blot out anything but the current fad. sv is infested with weaboos so it's usually anime. anime exclusively has white looking japanese characters(the reason for this isn't important to us). so in order to pad out the numbers to match population stats you'd have to either switch people's races for no reason(or when dealing with a strangely aryan nonwhite cartoon character, go out of the way to describe them as their race because they'll default to their cannon depiction. theres no way that won't come off racist) or stuff it with oc who happen to be "ethnic", and people hate both of those things so the few fics who think to do something so strange are unpopular. using the characters and settings without splashing on a coat of blackwash isn't racist (to me it seems like doing so w
ould be) so all that thread I pointed at seems to actually be doing is just bitching about the shows the fic writers like. the only nonshit solution I can see would be supplying your own original fiction, but this site hates that more than it does ocs or using anybody but taylor hebert as the main character.
theres a reason the only nonwhite nonasian (and since when did asians not count?) people in crw are si and it isn't most naturally summed up as "sv has a bigotry problem".
it's all well and good to pat yourself on the back for being enlightened enough to see an issue, but is the problem really with sv and if so what do you intend to do about it. the most important step in identifying an issue is noting potential solutions.
"stop liking the things you like" is not one of the practical ones and even if it were it's not an argument related to bigotry (unless you count shitting on weaboos, but nobody is actually doing that, page 1 "nerds are the modern jew" not withstanding) but what else is there
getting mad at sv for the perceived racial bias in japanese cartoons is like calling your local newspaper racist because they reported on a raceriot
The japanese are aware of diversity and do in fact portray it.
The guy i was replying to was using what you just said as justification to say "nah, there shouldn't be representation." But there actually is, IRL, representation, so we can conclude that plenty of japanese themselves do not agree with that statement.
again, your words down my throat.
you're the one who brought up japan's media. all I said was that the "brownest" person in familiar of zero is the germanian for example. so if fanfics of the setting have no 'representation' there is a very logical reason for that with nothing to do with bigotry. any perception of which is all in the eye of some beholder bringing their own issues to the table
