>big words they didn't understand and decided the book was deep and cool.

That about sum up tiktok as a whole.

The living talking heads of today are more influential than the up and coming virtual talking heads.

But that'll change as more virtual heads start popping up and the simple minded get hooked on their words like they do to the current talking heads.

>Whipping people up over something that is done is silly and serves no useful purpose but division and rumination.

Politics in a nutshell.

Now that sounds more realistic

Yeah the presence of characters and how they look is up to the author of the book and most authors in these genres are white. I seen a few of your comments on this post talking about you thinking someone is implying something. If you were following this thread then it started with how authors books are usually inspired by themselves and their history and that's why there are more white characters in these genres.

Edit but I'm done with this.

Who said anything about Greeks besides you? Lmfao

Lmao. No one said you have to find any interest in things that don't interest you, we're human we will like what we as an individual like. I believe this line of discussion was about the authors heritage influencing their works and not the heritage of the readers influencing the authors work. And those are just names, I had a white guy named dewayne that worked at my last job with me should he have been black or different ethnicity because of his name?

But I'm done with this convo, we'll just be going in circles from here based on your responses.

But here's some helpful guidance to hopefully help you and others that read this. Everyone is different, we are all human we bleed red when cut, stop seeing skin color or ethnicity or what someone believes in as proof that that person is this way or that, actually see the person in front of you and not some superficial fluff.

Are you white skinned? Jesus you're reaching so far that your arm may become dislocated. Wasn't this discussion about skin color of characters in books and not where the characters lineage is from?

So which fantasy books are you reading that explicitly states the real world lineage of characters(to match skin color) and not just some statement about skin color?

Everything is exclusive? Lmao you're just trying to find racism where there isn't any just like the OP their name is hater first, just looking for new hate. There's plenty of books that have black characters if you actually take the time to look for them instead of crying bout them not existing in the first place. Yes there's not an abundance of them but if you use some critical thinking/logical reasoning then you'll discover that vast majority of authors for those 3 genres are white. But you also got to think of what the culture is like aswell, America is predominantly white so there will of course be more white characters... go read stuff from authors of different countries.

There's a very big difference between "harsh" conditions and a post-apocalyptic world. Atleast in america those that would have a higher chance of surviving would be those who already live off grid, the average american wouldn't be able to last a month off grid without having to run to a store to buy food or whatnot.
