Me when I heard that some idiots on Tumblr were shrieking about racism in How to Train Your Dragon 3, not because of all the white honky Norse people, but because Toothless mated with a Light Fury.
This is Toothless. He is a Night Fury.
This is his mate. She is a Light Fury.
They are cartoon dragons. This is not a race issue. If anything, the black dragon and white dragon can be compared to:
Not to some imagined hidden racism implied by a black cartoon dragon choosing a sparkly white cartoon dragon for his mate.
Further, apparently, there were other idiots complaining about the “heteronormativity” of Toothless having to find a female dragon for his mate.
If the dragons had been envisioned as reproducing asexually or being hermaphroditic like snails, well, great, there’s nothing wrong with that. But the dragons in How to Train Your Dragon were envisioned as being sexually dimorphic. There is also nothing wrong with that.
I really wish these asshats would stop looking for offense where there is none. If they spent half as much time combating actual racism as they do screeching about imagined racism in a cartoon about dragons, they might actually accomplish something positive.
