I Think This Is Ridiculous

I really thought this was fake, some fake outrage story to get Marvel attention. But it's real. Safespace and Snowflake? And the other characters are equally stupid. A fat black woman with huge lips without any super powers but has a magical backpack. So....racist characature Dora the explorer. I'm not a big comics fan but if I was I'd be even more pissed.Im still hoping it's an April fool's joke.

@MartinTheFirst Why? Want to pick your brain.

If it turns out TO be a joke then full cred, it got me. But I can't see anyone reading it unironically.

@HorrorshowHijabi because its media in a nutshell. Its what people want.
@MartinTheFirst Is it tho? I don't know anyone that likes it. But you're right it's media. Too little, too late trying to stay relevant.

@HorrorshowHijabi btw just cuz theyre black it doesnt make it racist.
@MartinTheFirst Oh no, one thing that can be mistaken isnt racist. But when you have multiple things that fit a racist stereotype it gets dicey. The big lips, obesity, she was described as diabetic and with anger issues. Put it all together and it gets prickly.

@HorrorshowHijabi I strongly disagree.
@MartinTheFirst ok cool. I just dont like seeing stereotypes pile on top of each other. But not as much as I dislike an ugly research of Dora the explorer.
