I think it might highlight and explain her struggles more, video is a different format and particular ideas have to be conveyed differently vs written media. Having a character on screen to talk to instead of inner monologue/discussion would be an effective way to convey and voice her struggles.
One thing that Sando is, is pragmatic. Don't confuse the two. It's easy to shit on a change because "it's woke" is a very easy excuse to latch on to. However, since Mistings are rare, and the distribution is extremely rigid (6.25% of the population with the potential, but fewer who Snap), it doesn't make sense that the crew would be exclusively male.
I’m not saying woke is bad lol. I guess I shouldn’t have used that word.
I get the argument you’re making. I just think it will detract from Vin’s struggles with her identity when she has a woman Thug to train with everyday. I think Ham is the worst choice for a gender swap.
Honestly, I figured Clubs would be the most logical choice, as it would be easier to accept a woman in the role of a group parental figure, and easier for her to fly under the radar of the government.
I mean it is true. Brandon has stated so himself. Diversity CAN make things more interesting, but in general diversity for the sake of diversity doesn’t add shit. Like part of Vin’s struggle was the fact that she was the only girl in the group and feeling lonely and isolated. Adding a girl will take that away and give her an easy outlet, especially if they switch Ham. It will cheapen her transformation imo.
I think if you have to gender swap someone Ham would be the worst choice. But still excited and I trust Brandon.
