Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Okay, I'm lost. Who is the other case here?

Sam Wilson.

He exists to be your friend and help heal your wounds. He's been flanderized to the point I can't recognize the character anymore. Everyone eats it up because he gives their characters hc and who cares if the black man is just the Black Best Friend.

Oh thank god I thought I was the only one who saw it

Bri has a shallow understanding of her characters. And bears shit in woods. It doesn't have to be about race.

Part of the problem is if you know anything about these canons, they ARE basically being portrayed as they are in canon. Like, point out some well-rounded noncliche (especially women) black characters that aren't the Best Friend, the Foxy Brown (which can also include the I'M ABOUT TO OPEN A CAN OF WHOOP ASS ON YOU BOY), or the "just like you" where all the effort is put into making them as similar to the other canon characters as possible.

You can't flanderize a character like Rochelle or Sam because that's how canon already presents them lmao

Sam's a Black Best Friend, but he doesn't live to be everyone's emotional crutch. He has an ego, he flips between wanting to extract himself from action and wanting to throw himself back in, and he can be a bit of a show off. Bri has taken that away and made him a living emotional crutch for white folks.

Or she just wants more cr?

You can have cr without making your character one dimensional. There's a reason all her cr looks the same. It's either shippy, brothers-in-arms, or a mix of both. No one can react differently to someone who always acts the same.

Drive by anon here. Were these issues ever addressed in HMDs?

Nope.

Tbf, Bri is really popular and last time someone critted a person in her clique, a flock of asspatters came to her aid to talk about how wrong they were. I wouldn't want to crit anyone in that group, anon or not.

Speak of the devil. The asspatters have descended.

Of course all the white folks are telling her there's nothing to it.

lmao you sound about as canon familiar as rochelle's player apparently is.

I'm not sure if that is giving Sam enough credit. He really wants to be part of something bigger than himself. He joins the military, works in the VA, and jumps to help Cap. He sees Steve as a symbol to fight for in Winter Soldier. Anyone who says differently obviously didn't notice him say "I am ready to get back into a fight I left because CAPTAIN AMERICA needs me." He sees the military as a way to fulfill himself, and even in civilian life he's working with them. He's not a therapist. He's a military man who is grasping for the sense of purpose he had during his military days. He's not just there to be a therapist.

Sorry, that was supposed to be for the comment under you talking about Sam being a show off (which he is. He fits in with soldier culture like that).

You're just wrong.

It makes me uncomfortable tbh
