So, new Castlevania series on Netflix. Apparently, they're moving onto Richter's story with this one; but I have a serious problem with it. No, it's not the fact that they with with the later redesign for Maria Renard, instead of her far superior one from the original (though I do take issue with that); it's the "new" black character with the anachronistic dreadlocks. She's supposed to be Annette, Richter's girlfriend from the game who gets kidnapped alongside several other maidens; except here she's been turned into the same tough-as-nails "don't need no man" bitch that the regressive left insist has to be front and center in every story in order for it to be "relevant to the world we live in".
"Toxic masculinity," which is so bad they want women behaving that way.
And people wonder why I've gotten so cynical?
