Like the old movies from like the 70s or 80s. I don't remember. But they had characters of many different races, they had strong women. You know how right wingers love to say " They can't make that today" . Well you couldn't make Conan today without them complaining about it lol.

Try reading the stories they were based off of. They were racist in a very direct, feverish way that is almost cartoonish

Yeah I don't think I want to read something racist. Oddly my pops use to read those books. I wonder what's up with that.

The guy could write some good fighting scenes. That's for sure. Unfortunately his blatant racism made me put down his books.

I'd rather they copy Red Sonja or Barbarian Queen tbh. Now there are characters that would throw the antiwoke crowd into a frenzy lol

they were pretty interesting in their good moments so i get someone liking them, especially an older person. robert e howard was kind of like lovecraft in that he wrote really intriguing scenarios generally, but they were dragged down by his own random injections of bigotry. I will say that generally unlike lovecraft they werent built entirely around racist shit (Howard was actually friends with him and Lovecraft was so bigoted it made even him uncomfortable), but when its bad it gets real bad

Star Wars had Lando (black). Rocky had Apollo Creed, Rocky's friend and at some point, mentor, and the movie showed us Paulie was a racist POS when rocky was training with the black dudes who taught him rhythm.

He-man was a thing, but then so was She-ra. Barbarella was a thing. And the bionic woman. And people just accepted these things, without calling them woke or trying to cancelling them, now they even want to cancel Disney.

We're moving backwards

Rey whole being was centered around trying to change a white man who beat her up. Giving up everything for her, and forgiving him for all of his horrible actions. What is woke about that ? While down playing the black lead for said white guy.
