Hot Takes - Blog Posts

This is not harmful to white representation, but it is certainly harmful to colored representation. There are far more white characters than there are colored characters. But casting a black character in the place of a white character is harmful: You are not creating an original coloured character, you are simply recasting a coloured individual in a character written with a white individual in mind. How many lead colored characters exist with comparison to white ones?

not to be that one person but casting a colored character in the place previously held by a white person isn't progressive. it's a deliberate cash grab. remakes, unnecessary sequels, and new spinoffs for characters are prone to flop. To make as much money as possible, they cast colored people in the shoes of white people. The result is widespread applause and rage on social media, which does the marketing. People who initiate boycotts inadvertently cause others to watch the show out of curiosity, and people who hail the 'progressive politics' of the show on social media influence others with similar values to watch the show.

HOT TAKES ALLOWED

don't worry abt me using no nicknames for literally no reason

Super late to the party. But Hot Take, Beelzebub Should've been a Wolf.

Okay before you ignore this post, please read all of this. It has been bugging me since S1ep8 came out and the whole "controversy". This post is more like me just speaking my thoughts and hearing other peoples opinions. Also, this is not me fixing her design saying that they should change it.

Think of it me just babbling on about stuff.

I'm not gonna lie I never liked Bee's design. I find it under whelming and never really fit with the shows vibe. Honestly I think they could've done more with her design than what they went with in the show.

I think they really missed making her a wolf or a wolf/bee hybrid.

Wolves are a way better symbol of gluttony than foxes. Wolves have historically been seen as gluttonous animals due to their always eating livestock. There's a good article explaining this in greater detail. They also symbolize wrath, and we have seen Bees get angry, so I think it would be a perfect fit.

Also, if you ever watch a nature documentary about them hunting and eating praying animals, it's pretty gruesome. I'm not saying we need to see that happening; I'm just saying how that behavior would fit well with the whole gluttony symbolism.

Also, another thing about wolves is that they are social animals! They hunt in packs and they love to play with each other! Just look up Wolves playing, trust me its really adorable! Like it just fits for the whole party girl vibe and it also fits with here character. As she does care about people. Wolves do take there pack's livelihood very seriously. Also, it would fit well with bees because there also social animals. Like it would make more sense

Another reasons Bee should of been a wolf is that wolves can be really cute.

And can be really scary.

I know people like Bees full demon form. But it never felt intimadting for me. Like imagine wolf Bee full demon form snarling and growling. On top of that with all the bug features, Bee would look fucking scary. Thats just me tho.

Not to mention, dogs are descendent from wolves. So it be a cool detail that Bee made hellhounds and who happens to be part wolf. I know that sounds a bit to realistic but I think it would a neat detail.

Oh and would also really go full circle with Vivs Die Young music video, with Jay Jay. Idk I just find it more sweet.

So yeah, that it.

Thanks for listening to my ted talk.

You ever see a take so bad that it keeps you thinking about it for months after the fact.
