My main problem with race swapping is the people who want it tend to sound more racist than than the people who are against because they're racist. And also it's only surface level. Like if I made April black that kinda changes her upbringing a tad. An American Irish woman wouldn't grow up the same as an African American woman in most scenarios.

Someone on Reddit claimed Rogen described the music "like a Tony Hawk soundtrack."

Two questions... Any idea where they got that from? A search isn't bringing anything up.

And wtf is a "Tony Hawk soundtrack" supposed to even mean?

Of course the initial statement in the post couldn't actually clarify that. Commenters seemed to be mentioning a game, or assuming, but finding no actual source or info on this comment from Rogen...just mentioning a soundtrack with some skateboarder's name means diddly squat to me and certainly doesn't offer any idea of what KIND of music that even is.

It means a lot of Indie rock music.

If you ever played any of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games, Its filled with a lot of indie rock type music.

Thank you, never had interest in those kinds of games, so "indie rock" is far more descriptive.

I always thought Tony Hawk games included lots of popular rock tracks of the time.

The last skating game I played was Skate or Die 2. Highly underrated.

I've played two skateboarding games in my life.
Skate Or Die on the NES which was like a brief cultural phenomena at the time
Tony Hawk's something or another on PS2. Explicitly because Iron Man was a playable skater in it, which was a big deal at the time because back then Iron Man wasn't in anything.

I saw a clip on Twitter of him on some sort of skating podcast when this topic came up.

God people, the source was on the reddit post itself:

https://www.reddit.com/r/TMNT/commen...mutant_mayhem/

And Tony Hawk games aren't full of "indie rock". It's a mix of radio rock, punk rock, and hip hop.

If you want an idea just listen to the Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack on Spotify/Youtube etc.

Lot of ska in the Tony Hawk soundtracks, adding that besmirched dead genre to the soundtrack would be a decent topping for this **** sandwich.

Also, in regards to the history of black April, read this:

Well this black man is not insulted, but thanks for assuming how minorities should feel about it

And a overweight black woman is a mammie? You say that and then have the nerve to talk about things being insulting? Wow. I feel like you're late for a klan meeting or something. Disgusting.

Hey, whatever floats your boat, I guess. But from what I’ve heard from black fans, it’s like getting sloppy seconds from white people who just want more Twitter likes, and that makes sense.

Ooh, sorry for criticizing racial stereotypes. I thought klan members loved that kind of stuff. So when a woke person gives you this kind of representation….



…they’re the good guys?

I’m just saying, if April has to be black, then why does she have to weigh over 200 pounds and be kind of like a mother figure to the turtles, you know, like a mammy? As much as I dislike Rise, at least they treated black April with more respect.

The April in the leak doesn't give me "mammie" or mom vibes, more-so a semi energetic 30-year-old armchair sleuth who is a teacher in her day job. Possibly a journalism teacher, given the darkroom. (Or photography teacher, but the other sounds more likely.)

That Miles Morales book cracked me up. It speaks to the absolute depths of stupidity of these people and their "allies" (allies. ALLIES. LMFAO! "Allies").

Marvel creates a book that literally portrays a black male into a caricature of "black behavior" and "blackness". He wears f'n kicks, runs around Rapping in the hood as Thor while tagging his own community. Marvel literally creates the most racist comic book of probably the last 45 years in support of wokesters.

Go head "kings" - celebrate that win.

I mean, might as well call Black folks "Dindus" while you're at it.
