Who's been blackballed?

It's the undertone of blackballing anyone who doesn't espouse left leaning views in Hollywood that shows the true nature of the beast.
Meh, nothing compared to the video game industry I reckon. Thats legit out of control.
That's because the left didn't hold the majority of power there.
Added the fan base was already well established and organised so the push back is more forceful.
Ya reckon? I'd say the vast majority of game industry is incredibly left leaning, the media who cover it certainly so.
Not sure which pushback you mean - from people sick of the over the top SJW stuff, or from 'the left' going after people who dare to make a sexist joke (for example)?
Don't let Twitter fool you.
Go and look how many followers/subscribers the most prominent left leaning gamer celebrity has then go look at PewDiePie.
They went after him and he got bigger.
And the games media? Show me one outlet that isn't very left leaning.
Show me one of those outlets that millions of people use or are influenced by.
lol.
It's amazing how some of the most strident 'fans' of certain properties fail to grasp the underlying meanings that have been there from the beginning. X-Men in particular is explicitly about minority groups and the fear and hatred they attract from others.Someone like Marvel Creator Stan Lee was all about diversity and creating stories about outsiders and people who don't belong in accepted society.

Id actually watch that Crocodile Dundee movie. Making him asian actually doesnt detract at all as long as he's got the bogan accent.So the idea to mix it up is just to... blackwash the character? Nothing wrong with diversity, create new characters instead of appropriating existing ones.
Perhaps if they create a new Crocodile Dundee film they should cast an Asian with a thick Chinese accent as Mick, for you know... diversity.
Magneto’s supremacist tendencies come from being a persecuted minority who has experienced mankind’s worst behaviours. Reckon he’d suit a minority. If they want to keep the character present, they have to update his back story because the Holocaust was 80 years ago. It’s a fundamental change but the only alternative is to set all the stories in the past.Magneto's backstory (and supremacist tendencies) means he should probably stay white. Xavier is fair game though, might as well be any ethnicity if it fits, and he obviously won't be paying lip service to his race.

Diversity only applies to caucasian western cultures.
You can have a Bollywood film full of only Indians, Chinese films with only Chinese, Japanese films with only Japanese.
A caucasian character written by a caucasian writer/creator is seemingly problematic however.
You clearly forget the recent reboot of 'Monkey with an all white/Caucasian cast (which I won't watch with a barge pole)
Youre confusing money making with Left Wing Agenda. BOTH sides like making money. Republican, Liberal, inbetween. Doesnt matter. They'll either pander for it or wrestle control and suppress for it. Claiming one side is any worse than the other is like trying to pick sides in a war over a gold mine. Both sides are just greedy.
So make up an equally rubbish and pointless story rather than just bring the story into the modern era, something Marvel has been doing for decades? You’re just looking for an excuse to be angry now.Magento is a German Jew.
Making up some new rubbish background story is pointless.
A crappy explosion made CM the most powerful character in the MCU. Not too hard to have a crappy explosion to give Magneto some life reversing/prolonging powers.
