KEVIN'S WALK BLOGS
BIG HOMINID'S TEES
WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE?
Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, political flatulence, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.
Got a beef? Write the Hominid at bighominid@gmail.com, and put "HAIRY CHASMS" in the subject line, or your mail will be automatically trashed by Satan, my beautiful but deadly spam filter. Assume your mail will be published (editing at my discretion), unless you specify otherwise. Welcome to my backside.
BLOGROLLING POLICY: I don't do mutual linkage, and I have no problem with asymmetrical linkage: I link to bloggers who don't link back, and that's fine by me. Please DO NOT ask to be linked. Please DO NOT expect linkage just because you've linked to me. Also, if I don't link to you, please do not assume I think your blog sucks.
COMMENTS POLICY: My blog is my house; I'm responsible for keeping my dwelling clean. Commenters are guests, and guests of this blog will be civil, succinct, and relevant. All comments are subject to approval; I reserve the right to publish or not publish—in a pristine or altered form—all comments (and emails intended as comments) that I receive. Act like an asshole on my turf, and I'll make you look like the asshole you are. Be cool, and we won't have a problem. Simple, yes? And before I forget:
NO ANONYMOUS COMMENTS. Take responsibility for what you say. Screen names are OK, but no sock puppetry. Use the same SN consistently.

I guess it also goes to show that people don't necessarily have a problem with "diverse" characters, they just don't like it when you try to "diversify" existing characters.
That's a good point. The Critical Drinker represents a school of thought that says there's nothing wrong with, say, a strong female protagonist as long as she's in a good, well-written story. Ripley from "Aliens" comes to mind. I love that movie, and Ripley is awesome. "Black Panther" also comes to mind: despite its narrative and CGI-related flaws, the movie showed us a human story that also included one of Marvel's best-written villains. Diversity absolutely works, but if it's diversity for diversity's sake, if it's all about the "woke" agenda and not about a good story, if it's about ignoring established canon and completely rewriting well-known, venerable characters to make them more PC, well, that's when you lose people like me. My long-ago review of "Zootopia" (see here) gets into some of these issues, at least obliquely.
