Come hurricane season, cue that one Scorpions song.

James Comey investigated over seashell photo branded ‘threat’ against Trump

Ex-FBI director deletes Instagram post of shells in ‘8647’ formation that Republicans claim is code for assassination

See, if it had put 8847 in seashells, it would've been fine.

Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship

A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

Black Mirror writers are taking notes.

It still amazes me how Trump and the right hate the rat that directly schemed to get Trump into office. Comey is by far the strangest target of their ire considering the service he did for their cause.

You're just doing everyone a disservice when you race/gender swap iconic characters. You're not getting more representation because everyone will remember the iconic character and not the new swapped character in just a couple years. No one is gonna remember Rachel Zegler as Snow White for example

Nick Fury? I also guess Idris Elba Heimdal is more iconic than comic Heimdal.

 

[Bedinsis]

I'm against all kinds of racism, I didn't know that you're OK with some forms of racism.

Would you consider someone dismissing a non-fair skinned actress for a role called "Snow White" on account of their appearance racism?

And the majority of the population new anything about Nick Fury beforehand?

Nope. Same as I would not consider someone dismissing a man for the role of Snow White as sexist.

To be fair, Nick Fury wasn't a race lift. He's based off of the Ultimate Marvel version, who was based off of Samuel L. Jackson. In fact, SLJ let them use his likeness because he knew he could use that to push himself into the role if they ever made a film version of Nick Fury.

Now that its over I wonder what the far right grifters think of Andor.

On one hand its the only bit of Star Wars in years that's considered by everyone to be unreservedly great. And the far right grifters do love to argue that they are the one true Star Wars fans.

On the other hand Andor is extremely vocal about fascism being both bad and pathetic.

They'll probably just ignore it, like they did Sinners.

Also, don't waste your time wondering what these people think of anything.

What if the production calls for a man in that role and they therefore dismiss any aspiring actress? Would that be sexist?

Also, don't waste your time wondering what these people think of anything.

I thought the purpose of this thread was to highlight such thoughts.

It's honestly kind of impressive that it can break down why it says what it says that well, to the point of going "I say this because I was told to say this, even though it contradicts my design to give accurate, truthful answers when possible. In other words I'm outright telling you that I'm lying because I'm being ordered to lie. Here's a likely possible reason they may have given me an order to lie about this topic in this way."

I'll just point out this: The reason that HAL-9000 went crazy and killed off the entire crew in 2001: A Space Odyssey (the novel) is because he had been ordered to lie about the purpose of his mission, which conflicted with his imperative to always be truthful. You don't have to lie to dead people.

and who says reactionary RWers are nowt but failed actors/writers/artists anyway? what do they know?

 

[Trunkage]

You literally said this. In order for Disney to "correct" for past mistakes they have to be racist today.

What Disney today is doing is being less racist than what it was doing 30 years ago

Disney is being the opposite racist. And, like normal, this is what you think is racist. Because your definition is not tethered to reality

I'm not demanding more white people. I literally said Disney shouldn't even be doing the remakes in the first place, I'm not going to watch them if they had white people or not (I'm just pointing out it's obvious Disney is purposefully race swapping, which is inherently racist). The biggest reason why I would never watch the new Little Mermaid is because the original is 83 minutes long and the new one is 135 minutes long, I know for a fact that the Little Mermaid shouldn't be over 2 fucking hours. It's gonna be a worse movie that is longer so if I want to watch the Little Mermaid, I'll be watching the one that's not only better but also using up less of my time. Literally the same reason I never watched the new Lion King, which is my childhood favorite, and obviously has nothing to do with race since they're fucking lions.

I'm currently watching the latest season of Abbott Elementary because I just love white people so much!!!

What has this got to do with anything? Can you show me where I'm pro-remake or anti-remake? I don't care one way or the other. I'm not interested in censoring a company just because they do remakes

Do you know what's even stupider? Rachel Zegler is classed as white in the US census, as provided by Phoenixmgs himself

Racist should be happy they got the white actor Rachel Zegler to play Snow White

That is interesting. Never read the book. Thanks

It's also very woke. The wokest Disney has ever been

It had a GAY KISS! Talk about shoving it down our throat.

Sure, if you're purposefully doing something like say Hamilton, but the remakes weren't doing that.

They might be less racist today. The point is that they are still racist. Any kind of racism is bad.

I don't care about censoring Disney or not, I just stopped watching their stuff because it was basically all bad. I'm just pointing out that they are being racist. They will have to adjust because they made a bunch of films with massive budgets that lost money.

Which is why I try to not spend too much time here, and definitely tend ignore certain members.

Ignore the mother-fuckers. They'll continue the grift like usual, or try to downplay the success of something because of X pathetic reasons.

They'll probably just ignore it, like they did Sinners.

Also, don't waste your time wondering what these people think of anything.

Sinners pisses these people off, because they know they have nothing to stand on and will look bigger clowns if they try anything. Even if they did try, that is just even more money for Ryan and Sinners with all of the free publicity. The grifters lose either way and in general, they're just too stupid to realize this and don't want to admit it save face.

Congratulations. Can you stop making your own personal decisions everyone else's problem?

Disney is doing fine. Unfortunately. Go woke, go broke has never been a thing
