    Then what you said is fucking stupid.
    Self-destructively stupid though, so have at it.

    That may well be. But, it doesn't stop FF crying "WOKE" because a character cries.

    Weird then, since I don't see you making those same criticisms in other situations. Seems... inconsistent.

    I hated the new make up and mouth prosthetics. Couldn't understand them at all. I'm so glad that stopped that shit.

    Sure. That's why I hate Alfre Woodward and Angela Bassett. Except I don't. Race is not a shield against criticism. Fucking learn a new tune already .

    You would if Youtube told you to.
    :shrug:

    There was a video going around racist Youtube of a little black kid climbing up on a skee-ball machine, and dropping the balls in, and the white host and his dipshit sidekick were literally like "OOOOHHHH MY GAAWWWWDDD!!!! LOOK AT THE LITTLE FUTURE CRIMINAAAAAL!!! THEY'RE FUCKING ANIMAAAALLLLSSS!!!!!!!!! :rant:".
    The host of the liberal show showing the clip rightly pointed out "yes, because we know white children never behave badly in public :rolleyes:".
    But that's the whole shtick, it's not rational arguments, it's screamy bullshit.
    Shock jock shit from 30 fucking years ago.
    And you lap it up.
    If Angela Bassett dropped a cucumber from her pita sandwich, and 3 second ruled that shit, and a paparazzi caught it, and it was on one of your shitty shows with them screaming their heads off, you'd fucking hate Angela Bassett.
    You just would.
    You're reactionary as fuck.

    In the quote he asked you if you hate anyone who has written a bad Spidey story for coasting on someone else's creation?

    Probably you do. You tend to seem to hate most non-Jenee people, and from what you post, it's a coin flip on her.

    Quit flapping your ass cheeks. You're not NEARLY as insightful as you think. I like what I like. Finding people who agree with what I like isn't a sign of weakness or an inability to think for myself. You're just pissed nobody would ever subscribe to your personal brand of smug horse shit.

    When you run out of real argument, you revert to this shit.
    Like tour dumb shock jocks.

    Everything you said there is the opposite of correct.

    Weird, when you make intentionally vague claims about things being equivalent you say it's unreasonable to ask for specifics.

    I'm interested to see what they do with Hermione. JK went all in on black Hermione for Cursed Child.

    If they undo that now the Chuds will claim it as a victory. If they don't, the series which they are claiming will be totally accurate to the books will have scenes where Hermione gets targeted with magic based racism, called a mudblood, and made fun of for her crazy beliefs like slavery being bad.

    I'm extremely mixed on this because while kids deserve to see themselves reflected in their media, any black kid attached to that role is going to get Jake Lloyd'ed so hard in this environment. It's one thing for adult actors like John Boyega and Halle Bailey who go into this knowing what cretins people will be online, but another thing entirely for children to be subjected to this, especially if they have shitty momagers who don't have their best interests in mind.

    On the other hand, a Hermione who overachieves because she had to prove herself bc of her race in grade school because of her immigrant Jamaican family pushed her hard makes a lot of things about her make way better sense.

    There's no winning on this one. :sigh:

    I honestly wouldn’t care if they “swapped races” with all the characters - as long as they portray the characters as written in the book. Pretty sure the Weasleys would be the only ones whose physical characteristics would be describing a person descended from a specific region of the world, but, then. …, so was Red in Shawshank Redemption and I don’t think anyone could honestly argue that was a bad casting choice.

    Sad that the real issue is getting buried here by the screeching billionaire who should just STFU and go away.

    Specifically making things misgendering a criminal offense is fucking stupid and an affront to a free society. Period.

    Most countries already have hate crime and harassment laws, which should be more than sufficient.
