Firstly, this is an example of a left-leaning Duginist, those
morons who have somehow convinced themselves that Russia is part
of the Global South. The claim that Hollywood tries to portrays
Russia similarly to how it portrays actual Global South
countries is utter nonsense; actually, Russia is portrayed as
any other Western country is:

With that out of the way, I obviously disagree that Kenyans etc.
should not watch India-produced movies. Instead, they should
support the more anti-Western India-produced movies and only
boycott the more pro-Western ones, thereby incentivizing the
Indian movie industry to become more anti-Western.
It is not necessary to abandon all foreign movies in order to
promote your own. On the contrary, collaborative productions
(or, better still, crossovers 8) 8) ) are a great way to
promote your own movies to foreign markets. This is what I would
like to see going on more between non-Western movie industries,
an excellent folkist practice that began during the
Counterculture era:

Chinese:
獨臂刀大戦盲侠), also
known as Zatoichi Meets the One-Armed Swordsman and The Blind
Swordsman Meets His Equal, is a 1971 chambara-wuxia crossover by
Japanese film director Kimiyoshi Yasuda and Chinese film
director Hsu Tseng Hung. A Japanese-Hong Kong co-production, the
film stars Shintaro Katsu as the blind swordsman Zatoichi and
Jimmy Wang Yu as the "One-Armed Swordsman" Wang Kang.[1] It is a
crossover of the long-running Zatoichi series and the One-Armed
Swordsman film series.[/quote]

This dude reminds me of JAM, his manner of speaking, mixed raced
background, etc.
Seems like there a lot of "blacks" who are fans of JRPGs.

While I don't disagree with his observations, neither do I view
a trend of merely adding "black" playable characters as
decolonization, unless these characters are replacing "white"
playable characters. Overall, if there is a trend of decreasing
"white" playable characters (irrespective of the ethnic
distribution of the remainder of playable characters),
decolonization is occurring. Whereas if both "black" and "white"
playable characters are increasing, or even if "black" playable
characters are increasing while "white" playable characters are
staying the same, decolonization is not occurring.
(Also, if "white" non-playable villains are increasing,
decolonization is occurring.)

Are you saying we should support realism? Is not realism more
Western?
I myself do not mind unrealistic bodies, to the extent that they
enable greater visual contrast between different characters,
especially between those low in sexual dimorphism and those high
in sexual dimorphism.

It seems to be a poor choice of words from Spencer.
"Unrealistic" = High Sexual Dimorphism. He seems to be saying
that high sexual dimorphism should not be glorified.
I supported the broader point of Xbox moving away from its
"dudebro" image of being known for hyper masculine FPSs,
catering to a certain type of audience ("White" males), and now
promoting indie games (which are mostly 2D), whose developers
are mostly "non Whites" and women.

""Unrealistic" = High Sexual Dimorphism."
My previous reply already took this into account.
"He seems to be saying that high sexual dimorphism should not be
glorified."
I agree, but inclusion is not necessarily glorification. When
you have high sexual dimorphism and low sexual dimorphism side
by side, you can compare and contrast:
HTML https://s1.zerochan.net/The.King.of.Fighters.600.4075721.jpg
If you have only low sexual dimorphism, you remove your own
ability to make a point about sexual dimorphism, including the
point that high sexual dimorphism is inferior:

To believe that inclusion of high sexual dimorphism implies
glorification of high sexual dimorphism, on the other hand,
suggests the believer actually considers high sexual dimorphism
superior, but merely wants to avoid saying so. This is False
Leftist behaviour.
