Annyira lelombozó látni, hogy az üzleti affinitásuk továbbra is botfül a köbön. Ilyen kreatív tehetséggel jobbat érdemelnének.

To give everyone context, last year Older created a petition petition to change the World Fantasy Award, which has long been a bust of Lovecraft designed by Gahan Wilson. Over the years many authors, including WFA winner Nnedi Okorafor, have talked about being in the uncomfortable position of being overjoyed to receive an award, only to then confront the fact that you literally have a bust of H.P. Lovecraft, fascinating author/virulent racist, in your home. Older finally created the petition suggesting Octavia Butler as a new bust, and the response was immediate and loud: over 2,500 signed the petition. While we still don’t know what the new award will look like, the WFA took people’s concern to heart and announced that Lovecraft will no longer be the model. Naturally, there was a backlash from die-hard Lovecraftians, and LaValle asked him about that reaction. First, Older made it clear that while he’d received plenty of angry emails, it was Okorafor who got most of the hate mail (a fact that he puts down to his own standing as a cis man) and said, “Racists are very sensitive. Their feelings are so fragile!” He also wanted to make it clear that he’s a fan of the writer, if not his beliefs. “I read Lovecraft, and I enjoy him, but I find him repellent. We’re talking about weaponized literature, where people of color are literally demonized.”
*
LaValle agreed, saying, “I see [the Lovecraft Mythos] as being the greatest embodiment of white terror. The horror is coming from miscegenation. There are beings that do not care about [the white author] or his power. That’s what makes Lovecraft amazing… but it didn’t occur to him that these mutant half-breed monsters, at some point they will learn to write.” Over the roar of laughter from the audience, Older explained that LaValle’s latest book, The Ballad of Black Tom, is a new take on Lovecraft’s story “The Horror at Red Hook,” which “Victor comes along and says, ‘Well, actually….’ and gives us this human and moving story from the point of view of one of the ‘monsters’ of the story.” He emphasized the idea of this long literary conversation, saying, “This is the era of the clapback. We will use our power not just to be pretty faces but to kick some ass. Midnight Taxi Tango and The Ballad of Black Tom are conversations, told from the perspectives of people who were turned into demons.”
*
The first question was about writing as a person of color in a society that is still friendlier to white voices. LaValle said that whites are now “being made to confront a buried power structure that they didn’t even know existed” and older said added “if we’re going to say “Black Lives Matter” we have to recognize that they’ve always mattered.”
*
With Lovecraft—he gets into the Library of America, this great honor, and then like five years later we’re like, “Fuck this guy,” but the good thing about him is that he never compromised.
*
“This is why I like ghost stories. It’s no secret that modern white Western culture is obsessed with ghosts being evil, when every other culture loves their dead. I’ll smoke a cigar with my dead. I know that history is an open book, and history is walking with us.”

Az európai játékok egy szeletére (ami nem D&D-klónság) mindig is eléggé jellemző volt a kínságos alapossággal megalkotott setting, hangulat és képi világ (ami gyakran a rendszer használhatóságának/kiforrottságának rovására megy), lásd még Symbaroum, Agone, Kult, Shadows of Esteren, Engel, SLA Industries, Mutant Chronicles, Nephilim, Cadwallon, Götterdämmerung; de a francia-kanadaiak sem panaszkodhatnak a Tribe 8-tel, Mechanical Dreammel és Lesser Shades of Evillel.

Érezni rajtuk, az elvontságukon/merészségükön/rögeszmésségükön, hogy eleve niche-ebb rétegnek szánták őket, szemben a nagyobb piacot kiszolgálni vágyó - és egyébként is más közeg szülte -, kommerszebb amerikai játékok nagy többségével (nem leszólásképpen!).

Hát, legalábbis régebben így volt; mára, a PoD és digitalizáció kiszolgálta indie revolúsön korában jobban elmosódnak a határvonalak, ha a beazonosíthatóan egyedibb ízek meg is maradtak a helyükön.

Valamiért az a benyomásom, hogy a DC-nél a képregényes kreatív/döntéshozó galeri és a mozis kreatív/döntéshozó galeri között sokkal élesebb a határvonal és tágabb a szakadék, mint a Marvelnél. Sőt, mozis tekintetben nem is DC az, hanem Warner, szóval még odébb.

Magyarán a második?

http://www.wired.com/2016/01/academy-responds-to-all-white-oscar-nominat...

And now the president of the Academy has responded.

In a statement released on Twitter last night, Cheryl Boone Isaacs pledged to do more to diversify the makeup of the voting Academy members. “In the coming days and weeks we will conduct a review of our membership recruitment in order to bring about much-needed diversity in our 2016 class and beyond,” she wrote.

She’s got a lot of work to do. According to a 2014 survey, 94 percent of the voting members of the Academy are white and 76 percent are male (full disclosure: this reporter’s father is a white, male, voting member of the academy). Those numbers don’t even begin to represent the true demographics of America. The most recent U.S. census, taken the same year as the Oscar survey, estimates that the U.S. is approximately 77 percent white. Worse, the Oscars are merely a symptom of the larger problem infecting Hollywood. According to the 2015 Hollywood Diversity Report by UCLA, 94 percent of studio heads were white and a whopping 100 percent were male.

Voting membership in the Academy is limited to people working on theatrically-released films and who are sponsored by two current Academy members. So, though Isaac’s acknowledgement of the problem is an important step, to diversify its fanciest party first Hollywood must work to diversify itself.

Érted? Hollywoodnak kell dolgoznia a saját maga változatosabbá tételén. NEM azon kisebbségi egyéneknek, akik a kapcsolódó pozíciókba akarnak kerülni, hanem (a többségben fehér) Hollywoodnak a szóban forgó kisebbségiekért.

Meritokrácia? Ammegmija?
Egyenlő esélyek és színvakság? Rasszista nőgyűlölő!!

Mindenhol kanadaiban írja, nem? A pledge-ek szövegének része az amcsidodós kábéváltás.
