Black Tech Support Trope: The Issue With Making Black Tech Nerds Look Weak in White Media
Manage episode 317358163 series 3301068
In this podcast episode, I will be taking a dive into the topic of the Black Tech Support Trope. I will be discussing the lowkey disrespectful ways that black characters are written as tech nerds in order to seem weak or subservient to white superheroes in comic media. I will be picking a few examples and analyzing about why this is a problem and why we should not be so eager to celebrate black characters just because they appear on screen. The idea here is to speak about the existing issues in white media in regards to how black characters are written so we can reconsider proper ways to tell our own stories when we focus on ownership in our own backyard.
