Adventuring party where the pink-haired healer chick is the deranged one, but they still have the classic "the director keeps telling the voice actor they don't sound stoned enough" vocal characterisation of the type, so they're just out there explaining in detail all the awful things they're going to do to you in that spacey, lilting monotone.

"Let's make games and media about other mythologies and pantheons other than Norse or Greco-Roman" is a take I really, really get, but the unfortunate reality is that most Western media conglomerates are pretty culturally white, and can you imagine the appropriation shitshow that would result from them portraying indigenous mythologies instead of the two pantheons that people can at least somewhat ascribe to Western European tradition? Ancient Egyptian seems the next most "safe" due to cultural penetration and time remove, and even that sparks discourse when it's done. Honestly I'm surprised that Disney even mostly got away with Moana, and that hardly went without critique. I think the execs that don't want bad press are well aware of this and are afraid to wade in.

I mean the obvious answer is for them to just hire people who can boast more claim to the tradition in question, but unfortunately it doesn't tend to work that way en masse, and also, even if they did do that, there would be a continent who would complain anyway. Own narratives are frequently called out as bad rep, usually by people who don't know the provenance (but sometimes even when they do!), and it'd be even worse with a big corporate name from the west attached.

Anyway buy foreign art I guess, but under current trends the big multi-billion God of War equivalent about African tradition is unlikely to come soon, I guess. Kind of an unfortunate side effect of the representation and appropriation discourse that makes certain kinds of narrative more scarce.

(A possible exception to all this might be, for instance, Japanese spiritual tradition, as there are plenty of Japanese media products that do well in the West. But this proves the point, because for instance I can think of examples of video games and films that feature oni, etc, whereas I can't for the less widespread or internationally exposed traditions that I describe).

Hey, idk if you like these types of shows but i was watching Heartbreak High from Netflix and there’s an episode on season 2 that the lesbian vegan character is *extremely* annoying saying things like “i don’t even talk to people who eat cheese!” etc. then she’s caught lying about where she went the other night and admits she went to a restaurant to eat duck meat or something 💀 but it’s “fine because she goes like once a year” and “please don’t tell anyone!!”

i’m so tired of media portraying vegans like this. we’re always so annoying having the worst takes then we secretly eat meat because it’s impossible to live without it, right? no one can give up the taste!!! lmao i’m still pissed with this show.

I can only think of one positive representations of veganism in media that doesn’t rely on or reinforce stereotypes, where a character being vegan is just a minor part of who they are and isn’t part of some sort of running joke at their expense. That is Dina from Superstore, but I imagine there are some more in less known shows.

It’s a tired joke that relies on a very outdated stereotype, media seldom keeps up with actual demographics though. Give it ten years and maybe we’ll see something reflecting how things actually are in 2024.

I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.

Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.

just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?
