But more dark skinned men and women in high fantasy. Let them be portrayed majestically. Like I’m tired of these white elves, mages, witches, etc., dominating the fantasy world.
I think this gives our society a very “white-washed” version of fantasy, when fantasy is just as multi-cultural as the world itself.
Like modern media doesn’t do us the justice we deserve and I’m downright tired of it. please, more people of color in fantasy!
The thing that drives me crazy is like, people jump to use the defense “Its just not realistic to have black people be an entire race of elves ” and I’m like?????????? Bitch??? THEY’RE ELVES. THEY ARENT REAL SWEETIE. Then comes “Well no, but traditionally elves-” ITS FAKE. IT ISNT REAL. THERE IS NO TRADITION. JUST BECAUSE YOU WATCHED LORD OF THE RINGS WHEN YOU WERE 12 DOESNT MAKE WHITE ELVES THE STANDARD OF ANYTHING
