So what would be your views on Black Cauldron or Swiss Family Robinson?

yeah cuz Hollywood is just clamoring to take risks on black writers, actors, and original stories. The field is just ripe for opportunity. Those blacks need to stop being lazy and get their stories budgeted

Your privilege is showing my guy

Imagine acting and singing your whole entire life, becoming famous as a teen, then auditioning for a role, and beating everyone else there

Only for mouth breathers like Draylo to complain that the role was just given to you because the color of your skin, over some idea of reverse racism

The irony is fucking loco

Don’t play the pandering card. Chick definitely has an Ariel singing voice. Have you listened to her?

Black Cauldron takes place in a fantasy world, race doesn't matter. There's no reason fantasy Welsh people can't look like Africans or Asians.

Swiss Family Robinson requires a Swiss family in the early 1800s so a telling of the story that uses colorblind casting would be a stretch. A more modern version, though, given the immigration rates of Middle Eastern and East Asian refugees to Switzerland over the past 2 decades, could get away with a lot.

Did people bitch this much when Sean Connery played the Spaniard in Highlander?

[Tyrath]

No, because you see, umm, eh--um, he was white.

There are lots of white people in Spain though. Not many with Scottish accents though I’d guess.

Gamers are high key racist? I could not believe it.

It's not bullshit, its called an opinion and everyone has one. Someone brought up the fact that people were complaining and I gave my opinion, simple as that. But when people were bitching about a white woman playing the ancient one, I'm sure you were right there telling them they were stupid because what difference does it make to the story.

Opinions are not irrefutable and just because you voice yours doesn't mean you wont get opinions and facts thrown back in your face telling you how dumb you and your opinion are.

What’s that got to do with gamers? I just see someone sharing racist pics from a pretty awful FB group.

[Karbuncle]

I mean it was also 1986 when Highlander was released, no Internet, and no way of actually knowing if people were bitching(And for fairness I doubt they were), but hey if you were aiming for "Shittiest strawmen with least thought put into it" well congrats, your trophy is in the mail.

those pesky gamers. All of them, literally every gamer, no distinctions. Fucking nazis, first to be purged.

Those pictures are fucking hilarious btw, but I'm a racists. Really I just hate Blacks, Mexicans, and Chinese people.

Shitty strawmen are bad but overt racism is ok

I see you're defending your award already, man you're vigilant.

[Eurell]

As if people can't see your posts in this thread lol

[Anoat]

I’m curious you mentioned three specific groups. So like, are you cool with Native Americans? Jewish? Middle Easterners? Japanese? Brazilians? Or just racist against the three you mentioned.

[Karbuncle]

If someone literally as stupid as you thinks laughing at some pictures is the exact same thing as supporting racism, then by all means, I'd laugh at them as much as I laugh at you.

Intent is everything, especially in comedy and humor, and while this may not be a point you agree with, I don't care. For transparencies sake, some of those pictures we're very likely created from racist intent, (Though I do not believe the "Look at me, I'm the mermaid now" one is) and the ones that were created that way aren't okay, and I do understand the outrage behind... but... i'mma still laugh at them if they're funny... its just you know, when it comes down to it I will say "yah but thats not okay".

Now I wonder how you'll interpret me literally agreeing some of those aren't okay as me saying its okay. Wow me with your white guilt.
