    Black men just tend to have deeper voices

    Deep voice = scarybad in movie

      I mean, isn't that the same thing? Like, why are deep voices seen as scary?

        Deep voice requires a large ribcage for that resonance, usually meaning a larger person, and bigger people are more intimidating

            Bear in mind I'm just some asshole on the internet saying things that sounds like they make sense

            I could be wrong about everything and probably am :very-smart:

            Maybe Hollywood selects for large, tall black men with deep voices to be famous so they can have big evil intimidating black characters in their movies to intimidate people evilly with their bigness
