The complete lack of a black protagonist in Life is Strange is disappointing

We've got 5 games and not a single game has gotten a single black protagonist.

I do love the series, but even I can see  a problem. A complete lack of black characters in the franchise. 

Found these two great articles that delves into the problem

Link 1

Link 2

None of the main characters are black. None of the secondary characters are black and the only black characters they have are side characters or background characters.

Like there was no reason whatsoever why Rachel, Warren, Kate, Steph, Ryan, Cassidy, Finn, Jacob, Sarah Lee or Chris couldn't have been black. Hell, there is no reason why Max, Chloe or Rachel couldn’t have been black.(although personally I would've loved it if Rachel was Indigenous)

And the black characters we do have is really bad in terms of representation.

Wells, a drunk and crooked  principal.

Hayden, a stoner and member of the Vortex Club

Drew North, a bully jock who got in the drug trade

Charlotte, a likable character, but who's anger is consuming her and blaming others around her, tho I understand where she is coming from, but her characterization tends to be reminiscent of the unfortunate angry black woman stereotype. And just so happens to own a pot shop...

Ms Grant, Mikey, Penny, and Joey the Nurse seem to be the only positive black characters in the series.

And we still have not gotten a single black protagonist in the franchise.

I find it weird that we seemingly have little good black representation that isn't just associated with drugs.

Like I’m not trying to say DONTNOD, D9 or Square Enix are racist or anything, but I’m saying they need to do better when it comes to representation. 

We were robbed of a black main character for Life Is Strange and are instead getting a cash grab sequel with Max who might as well be a completely new character seeing as how they’re throwing away everything that Max experienced and learned and everything we loved from LIS 1 to make it.

But considering how the fandom treated Sean and Daniel and their story, I can only imagine the disgusting hate a black protagonist would get in an extremely white franchise.

So I printed out a ton of shit last night and tried to print out a band picture of NIN, but most of it got cut off, so.... I did this with them

Here's the stuff that DID get printed out. I printed out mostly silly things bc I am silly. I only did the bottom right one bc Ilan looks so goofy in the back lmao.

We should NOT pirate the Wish movie from Disney. We should support it because it’s original and the lead character is a person of colour.

There's literally (multiple) genocide(s) going on, and Disney is actively supporting one of them as far as we know (poc are suffering btw, since you wanna bring that up)

I don't give a damn they are making another mixed quirky Black girl the lead of a medicore looking movie that can't do the bare minimum of representing the cultures accurately

If they didn't care for Tiana to the point of purposely tanking her movie so they can move on to 3D, I don't care to see more mediocrity out of them whenever it comes to Black girls

TENTH LORD IN RAHU NAKSHATRAS

Thanks for your patience in waiting for the next part of the series - I'm glad you guys are interested. As always, recorded for my own benefit, published for yours. General disclaimer is in my bio. Credit to KRSchannel for inspiring this post.

Find your 10th lord here, and find your 10th lord’s nakshatra here.

The 10th house rules our life’s honor. It represents the services we perform for society as well as the reputation we earn as a result. It is associated with the father and the career because traditionally, this is where both our standing in society and the role we performed in society would come from - inherited through the father’s family line. However, in our contemporary world, this isn’t always the case, which is why it’s important to know the grander themes at play.

The three Rahu-ruled nakshatras are Ardra, Swati, and Shatabhisha.

Rahu, or the North Node, is a non-planet object that represents our aspirations, our delusions, and our karmic trajectory. It is uncharted territory, where we are forced to experiment and step beyond our assigned role in life. Like its twin, the North Node is spiritually powerful, yet deceptive - but in this case, the deception lies in the allure of imagined possibilities. This is the dream of being a rockstar you have as a kid, and the fantasies of becoming a billionaire you have as a young adult. It is audacious, brash, impulsive and intoxicating. Hence, it both repulses, due to the fear of the fall from imagined heights, and attracts, for the glory it represents.

DO YOU HAVE YOUR 10TH LORD IN A RAHU-RULED NAKSHATRA? THAT MEANS YOU…

Drew Barrymore, Amy Winehouse, and Megan Thee Stallion all have their tenth lords in Rahu ruled nakshatras. Drew's is in Ardra, Amy's is in Swati, and Megan's is in Shatabhisha.

… find engaging in public life will result in severity, intensity, and extremes.

This placement corresponds to magnetic public personalities and whirlwind professional lives that are constantly shifting. Those with Rahu-ruled 10th lords will find themselves constantly questioned or provoked as to whether they have earned their place, or rather whether they have a right to claim those earnings. They are likable and charismatic, but may not seem perfectly in place. Their unique character distinguishes them from the rest of the office or public, setting them apart regardless of whether they are actually all that different from their peers. At work and in public service, they find themselves compelled to address the elephant in the room, as in, sidling up and calling it by name and offering it a cigarette because how rude of everyone else to pretend it isn't even there. To be less metaphorical - these natives will point out what everyone's trying to ignore, and then demand everybody consider why they were trying to ignore it in the first place.

As for fame, Rahu is so empowered in this day and age, that its influence is very intimately correlated to fame. While this used to be much more short term fame, and still largely is, it is not quite as exclusively short term due to the power of the Rahu-ruled internet and media in the age of information. However, any long term fame is likely to be distinctly correlated to being a symbol of the Rahu age, rather than overall human history, at least if there is no or too little Sun energy to balance it out. The most potent of Rahu fame will also be distinctly tied to tragedy or scandal - especially in a way directly tied to the native's ascension to higher station or notoriety. This isn't a hard rule, but those with Rahu, Mercury, or malefic dominated charts should be very, very wary. This placement also guarantees a sort of cult status for famous natives. Fans of these individuals are more than just fans - they are devotees. And critics? Haters? They'll be just as brutal and harsh as fans are reverent.

You undergo sudden mental oscillations as a result of your relationship to public.

Legal troubles given public attention or settled in public spaces will typically go in your favor - depending on circumstances.

You worry about the boundary between private and public as it is easy for you to let this border dissolve, and it will impact you negatively if things get too mixed.

Act as a force for revolution, liberation, and justice in public.

Weather difficulties with grace, effort, and sincerity.

May use mystic symbolism and aesthetics to promote yourself.

Find intoxicants, indulgence, and corruption enabled in the field.

AND YOU MAY FIND…

There is always more going on beneath the surface and your dirty laundry inevitably is aired in public and exploited.

Great fame or recognition may be in your future, but you must be wary of fame giving way to infamy.

Distance and the ability to withdraw from the public is important for you to feel in control and still in possession of yourself.

You are extremely powerful particularly in the age of information, and you will find that virtual and media ventures are very profitable, or at least felt with extreme significance.

Counter culture, underground social scenes, and alternative movements appeal to you or there is a relationship of influence between them and you.

SHATABHISHA is the Hundred Stars. Industries and career types favored are those involving science, trends, innovation, mapping, medicine, intoxicants, art, fuel, exploration, investigation, research, music, clerical work, psychology, depths, waste, and organization.

"When N'Kalla – Skrull and adopted daughter of Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters – sees her brother Jo-Venn get in trouble at school and be sent to the principal's office, she does the sisterly thing… which is, of course, to shape-shift into a double of their father Ben to get him out of it!

And when her cousin Valeria gets in trouble, "Reed Richards" arrives to get her off the hook, and soon "Sue Storm" is excusing Franklin for his misbehavior too…

But when she gets caught in her deceptions and grounded, things go from bad to worse when a super villain attacks and the Fantastic Four are nowhere to be seen!

Questions of strength, super-powers, identity and love all come to a head as lives hang in the balance!"
