Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

How do you act like you have black skin, for instance?

Australian method actor and five-time Academy Award winner, Kirk Lazarus, can explain.

Ah yes, the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude approach

You're right. We should absolutely, not once, not ever, have a person who doesn't perfectly, down to the finest detail, match the description of the character they are depicting act for that role.

I saw a local stage play of madame web where a woman played a male character. It literally wasn't even a distraction and they sold the character well.

Commenter said Black Skin.

You said "finest detail".

What are you smoking?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Commenter sounds like they would complain about Arial being black because her original character was white.

You really wanna defend that?

Wait are you taking about cartoon mermaids and their skin color? You know, because of mermaid science?

How do you act as anyone else ever? Unless you are a genetic clone of the person you must not be allowed to act!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Acting is not about changing the appearance.

Race is relevant since it tells us quite a bit about someone and people of different races are and have historically been treated differently by society. Japanese people, for instance, were(still are) quite xenophobic.

Why not cast an african or a white person as the Emperor of Japan then? Can't they act?

Let's have a white Martin Luther King. Let's make black people play slaveowners and whip other blacks around, surely they can act quite well.
