in reference to my last post :)

so if you read my last post and somehow went "fanta i think you're overreacting." lemme show you just how bad it is.

let's start off with math- well statistics specifically.

in the mcl cinematic universe alone there are about 101 characters ( including events characters, but excluding animals ). and of those 101 characters, there are only 9 black characters ( not including candy if you decide to make her black ). that means only 8% of the mcl cast is black... although that is a problem in of itself, that's not what we're really here for.

so after i typed all those numbers into my handy dandy calculator, i decided to section each of those 9 characters and made a handy dandy chart for my visual learners out there ( shoutouts to y'all ❤️☺️ ).

i broke them off into the three basic categories; highkey bitch, stepping stool, and unimportant side character, then added another category; athletic cuz im black, because i felt it was also important to add. ( renata and yeleen both have '?' by their names because their spots are debatable. )

first thing i noticed? most of the people in the highkey bitch category are black women. which perpetuates the stereotype that black women are loud, angry and wrong. that our anger is never justified because we're wrong. or we're just angry in general. and, of course, that's not true, but let's keep going.

second thing i noticed is that dajan and kim's personality is basically black people in sports. like if kim didn't play a part in nathaniel's arc in ul ( the reason why she's in stepping stool in the first place ), all she would really have is that she owns a gym and that she was training for a marathon in ul. and you literally met dajan in basketball club, get one illustration with him that not meaningful to the plot whatsoever and never see him again until orienteering race, to which he disappears never to be seen again.

but what pisses me off the most is miss paltry. at first miss paltry was a nice black lady teacher. and although that meant she was just a unimportant side character, at least she wasn't a bitch. but beemoov was like 'well someone had to pressure that bitch marina into accusing rayan of sexual misconduct instead of having her doing it of her own accord because we just can't do that'. and who they choose? the nice black lady that was a good friend of rayan.

and if we're getting into everybody else; yeleen is a straight up bitch to you and everybody else that doesn't seem worthy enough to be in her presence, sibylle is a bad mother that doesn't understand that just because she birthed her child, doesn't mean her child is her, renata is a questionable mentor that's too power hungry to admit when she's wrong, steve is a mindless teenager that really doesn't give a fuck about nothing but what's trendy, patrick was only there to give your candy a career path, and nobody knows who the fuck denis is.

though i can't speak for eldarya or any other beemoov games because i don't play them, i can definitely say beemoov treatment of black characters is fucking shitty. the fact that i can categorize all 9 of them into four basic categories and have no outliners is really fucking atrocious.

( side note all of them seem to be in on color range. although im not mad that they're all dark skin because we do need more dark skin representation in media, why are all these negative connotations on your darker skinned characters? not only that black people come in all shades. don't claim diversity when you only show one color. )

Ron Burkle’s son, Andrew, died on Monday, January 6, 2020. He helped run a Hollywood production company. Emergency crews found him unconscious in his Beverly Hills apartment.

Sunday, January 5th was the 2020 Golden Globes Awards which was hosted by Ricky Gervais. His monologue sent shockwaves in the industry and beyond.

Quote

"But tonight isn’t just about the people in front of the camera. In this room are some of the most important TV and film executives in the world. People from every background. They all have one thing in common: They’re all terrified of Ronan Farrow. He’s coming for ya. Talking of all you perverts, it was a big year for pedophile movies. Surviving R. Kelly, Leaving Neverland, Two Popes. Shut up. Shut up. I don’t care. I don’t care.

Many talented people of color were snubbed in major categories. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do about that. Hollywood Foreign Press are all very racist. Fifth time. So. We were going to do an In Memoriam this year, but when I saw the list of people who died, it wasn’t diverse enough. No, it was mostly white people and I thought, nah, not on my watch. Maybe next year. Let’s see what happens.

No one cares about movies anymore. No one goes to cinema, no one really watches network TV.Everyone is watching Netflix. This show should just be me coming out, going, “Well done Netflix. You win everything. Good night.” But no, we got to drag it out for three hours. You could binge-watch the entire first season of Afterlife instead of watching this show. That’s a show about a man who wants to kill himself ‘cause his wife dies of cancer and it’s still more fun than this. Spoiler alert, season two is on the way so in the end he obviously didn’t kill himself. Just like Jeffrey Epstein. Shut up. I know he’s your friend but I don’t care.“

This is very interesting, but I am missing something....? What’s the connection?❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Pyer Moss, Telfar & Christopher John Rogers Are CFDA Fashion Award Winners

On Monday, during the first-ever digital NYFW, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) announced the winners of the 2020 Fashion Awards. And despite some worry that this year’s winners would look all too similar to those in years past — The Row, Marc Jacobs, and Tom Ford, who have all won multiple times, were nominated again this year — the announcement didn’t disappoint, with three Black designers taking home the ultimate prize in their respective categories: Christopher John Rogers, Telfar Clemens, and Pyer Moss’ Kerby Jean-Raymond.

After announcing that Kim Jones, Dior’s creative director of menswear and the new artistic director of Fendi womenswear, had won International Menswear Designer of the Year and Pierpaolo Piccioli of Valentino had won the same category for womenswear, Tom Ford, the Chairman of the CFDA, revealed the winner for the new American Emerging Designer of the Year award: Christopher John Rogers. The category made waves back in July for including a fresh list of designers among an otherwise-been-there-done-that roster. In addition to Christopher John Rogers, who was also the winner of the 2019 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award, it included Kenneth Nicholson, Peter Do, and Reese Cooper.

“I’m incredibly humbled and honoured to receive the CFDA Emerging Designer of the Year Award for 2020. Thank you very much to Chairman @tomford and all of the hardworking folks at the @CFDA for your tremendous encouragement and continued support. Thank ya’ll for getting it,” Rogers wrote on Instagram following his win. The designer, whose fall ‘20 NYFW show was the talk of fashion month, was recently worn by Lady Gaga at the 2020 MTV VMAs. His designs were also featured in a number of September issues, including Zendaya’s InStyle editorial, Tessa Thompson’s Porter cover, and Hunter Schafer’s shoot for Allure.

Next up was the award for American Accessories Designer of the Year, which regularly sees Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s luxury brand The Row crowned victor. After losing the category to the two last year, Telfar Clemens, the designer behind the “Bushwick Birkin” Shopping Bag, was selected as the winner. This win for Telfar is well-deserved, given the year that Clemens and his brand have had thus far, which includes multiple record sell-outs of the bag and AOC’s seal of approval, among other high points.
