why are all the characters latino/asian in this show?

>superman
>white

Just some italian propaganada to trick folks into thinking they can be white without blonde hair and blue eyes.

>How come having a progressive show in 1993 was no big deal and now every "progressive" thing in media is creating a huge shitstorm?

Because you have these little vacuum communities that have formed thanks to the internet where they can bitch and kvetch to one another and create a feedback loop whereas way back when they actually had to find one another in person or on small message boards that weren't nearly as prevalent as today.

Also, way back when, this show was my fucking jam. Loved this when I was a kid, watched it every... Sunday night, I think?

1993 didn't have the internet the way it is now with social media. Mentally ill and unstable lunatics can gather online in large amounts on social media and cry about their regressive ideas about gender, race and sexuality. This "woke mafia" has its tentacles in a lot of those trash media sites because they can be hired for peanuts.

Because there wasn't such an easy access to the internet yet and people couldn't air their racism and bigotry so openly with few simple taps on their phones.

>Superman is a fucking Asian
No he's not, he's half-Asian and was passing for a white guy in the show. They also didn't make a big deal about him being half-Asian and showing up bigots.

Because in the 90s people still thought if you just pretended race didn't exist racism didn't exist either.

>Superman
>not asian

Why not? R u racer?

So that's why they dropped his Jeremiah Danvers character on Supergirl. He just disappeared off that show.

Damn, Brits BTFO! Funny how Anglos run the US and all the N*rdcucks, with their blond locks, were second-class citizens...

I miss the old days of dialing into BBS, just chatting with other geeks who hacked something together to make a server for other people to dial into and chat via message boards, maybe play LoTRD for a while. yes, I'm old

is this superman in the crisis coming up on the CW?

Identity politics user.
You see, for much of the 20th century the primary focus of the western left was on universalism. The idea was that it didn't *matter* what race anyone was, we were all human and that was great.
Now, when that idea had been largely accepted in the west the radical left had a problem. How can people be victims (and support radicals) if they're treated equally?
Well the solution was that equal treatment was itself a problem because it ignored differences between communities. This was extremely successful and the worship of victimhood as a virtue in and of itself became more and more the new normal. And now here we are.

>Marketing in 1993
Hey everyone! We have a new show for you, we have some talented people involved in this and we hope to satisfy as broad an audience as possible. Please show your support, thanks!

>Marketing in 2019
That’s right you fucking white males! We took your precious Superman and made him not White! *BOOM* Another victory for us progressives, go back to your caves you knuckle-dragging nazi fuckkkkkkkks! We hired some twitter fanfic writers and the first body-positive-alternative-beauty we could find...not sure if they have any talent but they are our allies so fuck you! We don’t want your support anyway, so just cry in the corner...what happened to our ratings? I knew it, we should have made Lois transgender and Superman black. The problem is we didn’t go progressive enough!!! Fucking whites!

You do realize that Superman was created by two jews and is a jewish superhero

Nothing went wrong, it was a good show. Clark got to be an investigative reporter, which is much more interesting than superman just running around punching shit.

Was the show produced in Los Angeles? That would explain it.

I would bang both Clark and Lois from this show.

Based bisexual

This. As a german with a croatian origin, I can't stand this shit Americans are forcing onto everyone. In the 90s, it was all about offering people some fun time, even if the quality was shit. Today, it's mostly about catering to some stupid political agenda in every show and movie. I didn't give a shit about Superman not looking like me because the Lois and Clark Supes stood for all that was right and always tried to save people and stick to justice. Meanwhile, today we have a show about Supergirl in which the characters always have to talk about being gay, crying about being female, or about blacks being treated like shit. It's not about fun anymore but the writers trying to signal their political correctness

>I don't understand what meaning representation has on people because I by default automatically had it everywhere as a child

Was Shiro okay in your book?

Are you me? This is the reason why I can't imagine Clark with anyone but Lois and was so glad when they had Jon together.

couldn't afford any white people

>all these millennials and Zoomers that don't remember that the 90s was infamous for PC culture
I guess the current wave is so strong the 90s look normal in comparison

>what meaning representation has on people
Which is? Because if you need fiction to validate your existence you have no self-worth.
Then again, if Yea Forums and Tumblr have taught me anything, people need fiction just remember how to walk, talk and breathe all of a sudden.

It felt more like a Superman Story as told by Romita Sr. I haven't seen the show, but looking at that pic, Dean Cain makes a better Clark than Superman.

It's not about validation, it's about inspiration and having role models who actually look like you, because it unconsciously give you confidence and belief that you can actually be X, Y or Z on a more personal level. Because that's how our brains work, as silly as it is. When you're a straight white and don't understand why that matters to other people you're completely blind to your own inherent privilege.

90s PC is different form 10s PC

the internet wasn't a thing so you didn't have to entertain opinions from other people then.

The sushiman guy was a shut-in weirdo hiding from society on his computer in the early internet. What happened is that the social media became a thing and suddenly all the shut-in weirdos of the world could communicate with each other without leaving their basements and seeing how many people share their beliefs, even if some weren't weirdos but normally adjusted guys ventilating some frustrations over the hypocritical PC culture, they started to radicalize their ideas and sperg until seeing themselves as some legitimate political movement.

I use to watch this before I went off to School in the morning.

Isn't the this actor like a religious nutjob sucking israel cock now? Weird to me as I went to uni around Chinese students who were hardcore atheists, never met a religious chink before

Dean Cain makes Christian movies now. Made shit like God is Not Dead and at least one blatantly hyperbolic anti-abortion movie.

>It's not about validation, it's about inspiration and having role models who actually look like you, because it unconsciously give you confidence and belief that you can actually be X, Y or Z on a more personal level.
Try looking towards history instead of fiction for that. It helps a lot more and lets you set more realistic goals.
>When you're a straight white and don't understand why that matters to other people you're completely blind to your own inherent privilege
If you're using fiction as a motivational springboard, that is privilege itself. Because people with real problems don't have the time or luxury to dwell on who or what is on TV.
It's the same shit as with the middle-class soccer moms and PTC busybodies in the 90s. Too much time on their hands, so they had to police people who made goofy little TV shows.

>If you're using fiction as a motivational springboard, that is privilege itself.

What a crock of shit. You don't get to dictate from where people draw their inspiration from. Especially young people will always draw it from TV and movies and fiction, not a history book.

>What a crock of shit. You don't get to dictate from where people draw their inspiration from.
I'm not "dictating" shit. It's just a simple fact that if you have the time to gripe about privilege in regards to fictional depictions, you're likely priveleged yourself. People who actually have shit to do with their lives tend to live in the real world.
>Especially young people will always draw it from TV and movies and fiction, not a history book.
Being inspired by TV isn't really a good thing, especially for young people whose brains are still working out all the kinks, but you know what? You keep on truckin there, user.

>I had it everywhere
Are you retarded? When the fuck have you seen a slav that wasn't a villain? When did you ever see a slav superhero that wasn't russian? Fuck right off, there was literally zero positive representation for me to turn to, ever. I just didn't give a damn because I wasn't a pussy

This so much. People nowadays need validation for the simplest things, it's pathetic

You sound like a nutjob. This is what media has done to people. So I should inherently feel like shit because I loved to watch Fresh Prince, Family Matters, and Cosby Show?
>talking about privilege
>probably an American
I could very well talk about your privilege living in a first world country when I experienced a literal war

I agree, user. The guy you're responding to sounds like a crazy person who has never had actual problems in real life. If you need shows or movies to feel validation, you obviously spend too much time in front of the TV

>Dean Cain
>DC

his was born for it

>Cain just laughed at the Sushi-Man name
Based DC

>>no one cared
>>no SJW article about why "this show is everything"
>>no alt-right /pol/-types complaining about this show

This show predates internet fandom by a fair bit of time. Not to mention the social justice movement as we understand it.

>If you need shows or movies to feel validation, you obviously spend too much time in front of the TV
Blame inept parents who don't try to motivate and encourage their kids. In fairness, a lot of them simply don't know any better

>I don't understand what meaning representation has on people

If representation is that important, then changing the race or gender of established characters for sociopolitical purposes is cultural appropriation and decidedly malicious. If "underrepresented" people want to see people who look and act like them in media, they need to make their own stories and characters, rather than demand the majority's media change to suit their whims

But we all know that's not what this is actually about.

>When you're a straight white and don't understand why that matters to other people you're completely blind to your own inherent privilege.

Do you realize this statement is a defacto admission of white superiority and other races' inability to deal with it?
