Since all the
Sinophobes love to say the only reason there isn't more LGBTQ representation in movies is because of the Chinese market, I'm sure we'll start getting lots of big action movies with queer romances right?
Actually yeah, is there any truth to that at all or is it all projection?
There is some truth to movie posters having the black character resized smaller/removed, but westerners like to omit some things.
I don’t know how Chinese fans reacted to John Boyega, but I believe one of his reasons for leaving Star Wars was because of China IIRC. Though the biggest reason was because of English speaking fans, so whatever racism China might have, the vitriol is much more present and readily available in the western world.
To add to that, Star Wars isn't a big deal in China anyway, and never has been. The original film came out less than a year after Mao died at the very beginning of the Dengist period and was not screened in the mainland. Because of that, there is zero nostalgia for the two or three actually good films that powered the west through decades and decades of awful worthless Star Wars movies. John Boyega being in some of those movies has nothing to do with their lack of popularity in China.
It is unfortunately not all projection, at least on race issues.
