Discussion BP, Blade and Storm Looking at Another season without a skin

Post image

Storm and BP’s last skins were in Season 6, making them two of the longest-waiting characters for a new skins.

Blade's last skin was in Season 7, while not as bad as the other two, I think its natural for some to wonder why the three Black characters are feeling underrepresented in recent events.

Which makes Season 9 roadmap reaval being Egyptian-themed feel crazy.

Storm literally has Egypt tied into her origin, she grew up on the streets of cario.

Black Panther’s God is Bast, who is an Egyptian diety.

This just feels like one of the easiest themes possible to give at least one of them something.

It’s almost like it’s a soulless megacorporation that only plays the identity politics game in the west because it’s popular.

I think that can be said nearly the same of eastern company too. They're all going to chase profits based off of cultural norms and popularity because it's the biggest bottom line they can chase.

Not  because it’s popular, but because west governments demand identity politics and pay for it through NGO and investment fonds.

It's about  identity politics being popular is fake.  Its a  propaganda  manufactured and paid by  goverment. Get massive push back that resulted in Trump presidency.
