With Aeriel they made it VERY clear that race was the reason so many people were mad. Literally said it was because they race swapped her. The complaints about the actress completely drowned out the, continued, complaints of yet another remake. There were a lot of people mad about Morales. It wasn't as hammered home, but it was there. Then it did well, so the grift dropped it, and moved on. It also doesn't matter if there weren't. Just because you can cherry pick a handful of instances where it wasn't the case, does not dismiss the long, consistent, history of there being far more outrage, amonst white people, over white/male characters being race/gender swapped, than there is about whitewashing.
If the key reason people are mad about a movie, is because it is bad, then the bad script/acting/directing/etc will be the forefront of the conversation. Not the race/gender swap, and other reasons brought up as a reaction to being called bigots.
More than conservatives are racist. A LOT of people fall into racist practices without even understanding that they are. Just because you aren't being intentional, doesn't mean what you are doing isn't racist. This is why systemic racism exists. People default to recognizing when something is happening to them, but not so much others. They do what is best for them, assuming it works best for everyone, and are unaware of the harm it does. They see that white characters get changed, because they notice things that affect white their own. Then they get mad, because their surface level understanding of whitewashing, isn't enough to grasp that these are not the same thing. So they go "hey, why when make non-white white, bad, but when white made non-white, not bad?" They then don't have the information, and critical thinking tools, on the subject, to understand eliminating representation of minority populations, in their society, does a lot of harm to those communities, that changing the odd majority figure out, does not.
This is a well known issue with refugees of hyper-authoritarian places. NK refugees discuss this a lot. Like the other person said, this is a well known phenomenon with freed prisoners, too. Basically you spent so much time conforming to a very, very, specific way of living, that you are stuck in that mind frame. Without a lot of therapy you are likely to be unable to adjust. Just like people who have been in abusive households their whole lives, yet return to them, because they can't function, when they are in a freer circumstance.
This well understood issue.
She is the heiress to an industrial chemical corporation, with an aweful record, who uses her climate expertise, primarily, to spin positive PR for her, environment destroying, corporation.
Yup, reality often sounds that way. I saw a lot of this in my life.
There absolutely was a conservative freak out over black Nick Fury. It happened when super hero comics were not full blown mainstream yet. Also before hyper centralized social media. So it wasn't really a talking point outside of niche spaces. Like any specific anger, over a single character, it was drowned in the flood of the next outrages. After so many years it is now just who Nick Fury is, because he was black when super hero media truly broke into the mainstream. It is easier to get people mad about things they are used to, changing, rather than try to get them mad that Nick was made black before gen z really became the primary consumer of marvel media.
However, in 2001, it was a hot button issue at the comic book store. I heared many racist rants about it.
They have been openly racist for a long time, and it has never mattered. Now that their racism is on the news, this is first time it has had consequences. So they never felt there was any self preservation to take into consideration.
Most of the media, leading the charge on the outrage, are people who consider themselves fans of the material, and claim they aren't racist for being upset over the change, just mad that they didn't respect source. Then you look over their channel and there is not one single video, where they do this, when source material is whitewashed. Even though there is plenty of that, in the stuff they claim they are only upset over, because the source material wasn't respected.
These are the people who stoke this outrage, they often started as straight fan media, but found out ranting about people of color, and gay people, being in media made a lot more money. Communities centered around the fanbase, for these things, are hotbeds of this behavior. There is no way you can make this argument, about these people. The people introduced to the media, by the movies, get mad because of these people.
I don't know how you can not know this, and claim enough familiarity with audience statitics to make your argument. So I agree with others saying you are likely going out of your way to make this seem not racist.
yeah, people think that since they are so small, they aren't gonna maul someone, so they put behavioral training on a back burner
Different, but still hiring fuckery
Friend applied for a job, database admin, HR called to set-up and interview. Two days later he got an email from the IT department, of that company, telling him that they weren't actually supposed to be responding to applicants for the position. He emailed asking if the posted position had been filled, and then received weirdly worded response saying yes, but implying that it never opened for that particular job post. Then they stopped communicating with him. They were just posting jobs they weren't hiring for.
He passed it all off to a link for, employment law, at the city chamber of commerce. Not that anything would be done.
why did you feel that someone, using a foreign word, to look cool, was similar to you using a second language, to communicate with its native speakers? Honest question here. That seems like a big leap in logic to me.
She got herself in a public shit show that was way beyond her. I guarantee you, had that not happened, she would have just stayed silent.
Because it is the 70s, and I am going with the common themes of the time
I mean, she is just a run of the mill, racist, shit bag. Vance is a racist shit bag with power.
You have both options.
One of the big draws to things like muscle/sports cars is customization, and upgrading. You can't do that with a rental, so one of the biggest portions of that market will be left out.
Instead of a macho man forging their destiny, it is a woman, given that it is the 70s, likely a housewife, coming home from grocery shopping.
a LOT of the people most important to governing within the constitution, enforcing it, and specifically hired to protect your rights granted by it, know little, to nothing, about it
Never heard of working both sides of a narrative? They absolutely do want most people to think Hamas has a majority support by Palestinians. If you don't believe me, look in the mirror, and think about your own argument here. However, it won't hurt that narrative to post this, as it is largely framed as a "can't trust anything coming out of Palestine" narrative. The fine details of which will be lost in the fire-hose of reasons that Palestinians super support them, so it's ok to kill them, rhetoric. Just look up how many articles out there cover this, verses how many ran with the false data.
However, I know you are completely entrenched in your ideology here, so I am gonna stop here, there will be no changing your mind.
