Actually I think this is a good time to ask this

I'm currently in the planning stage of writing my fantasy novel and I do want to include a diverse cast of characters. It's not set in the real world although there are some cultures that are inspired by real world countries. So specifically for the black users in this thread, how would you want to see yourself represented?

I'm asking this here because i've been told consulting people of the demographics I want to represent is the best way to represent them well, and I don't know that many black people irl but I'd like some input on this

Ok, want to see is represented?

Just write us as normal characters that do normal everyday stuff.

A lot of media potrays us as gangbangers who old steal, ****, and pillage, and if it's not that then we're reserves to being comedic relief to the white man (and we're also unimportant too). And if it's not either of those two things, then we're just stereotypically black (as in excessive Urban culture and AAVE that feels like a out of touch white man wrote us).

Truth is, we're not a monolith. There are millions of black people in the world and we place has their own culture. All over the world, we mixed our culture with white culture thanks to colonization, and what you see now is black culture. Yes, AAVE, Hip-Hop and urban culture is relevant to black culture, but please keep in mind how you portray that. It's one thing if a black character uses AAVE and listens to hip-hop. It's another thing if that's their ONLY personality trait.

If you wanna get into oppression and social justice **** though, you definitely should get a 2nd opinion. A lor of white people try some black-white allegory and that **** flops hard because it's clear they don't know what they're talking about.

As any other human being, nothing super special. The worst thing you could do it keep pointing out they are black and make us like we are rare.

Pokemon vs Shiny Pokemon

Yeah, but in order to catch these shinies, you need to run dozens of computer units for hundreds of hours to create a legally meaningless ownership code.

If GameFreak was good, we could have this in official games.

Also, if you're gonna use AAVE please research what the words means I'm tired of whites butchering it to hell.

.......don't you just wish some people just had something called, you know, a moral compass? Like asking for thinking before speaking doesn't even scratch the surface of how wrong that was.

He made a video about an old-ass, already disconfirmed fan theory about P4 when P5 was fresh.

It wasn't that bad but he made it too obvious that he never played the games.

Damn thats one bad ass baby, 1 min old and had his afro coming in already

That's because it was actaully a regional form.
He comes actually from region based on Africa.

MatPat on his way to make theories about things he doesn’t understand.

His theories don't make sense, so don't trust them.

I think I may have dyslexia because I read this and I swear I saw your post saying "down the street and the old roach shop with the pizzas crawling on the walls"

But nah, this **** is ****ing terrible. Why are nerd spaces like this?

Cause they see **** like Spiderman, a guy who fights crime and helps people because it's simply the right thing to do despite constantly suffering, and go "HE'S A NERD THAT MEANS I'M COOL"

Can you even call him a nerd? He has like 39874678 love interests that he has turned down. He is one of the smartest people on earth with the strength to lift a whole building. I would go as far to call him a chad.
