That's almost as good as the people that freaked out when in the Harry Potter movies the girl named Cho was played by an Asian girl.

Didn't something similar happen with Cho Chang in Harry Potter? Like fans poo poo themselves when they found out that a clearly asian character was going to be played by an asian actress? Fake edit: Yep http://www.cracked.com/article_21428_the-6-stupidest-national-outrages-about-fictional-characters.html Real edit: Damnit, beaten.

Fairly sure it's supposed to be "gol-durned SJWs makin' 'em hire Asians instead of pretty white girls" instead of him thinking that SJWs are the ones complaining.

It was also really fun when Blaise Zabini, a character with no description and of ambiguous gender, was largely portrayed by fandom to be a white posh/gothy female love-interest-to-Draco-Malfoy. The character was later revealed by JK Rowling to be a black male. Surprise, fuckers! That was some old school livejournal fandom meltdowns. I'm holding out that WB casts a black actor as Newt Scamander in the upcoming movie, just to piss off racists who can't relate or bear to watch any race ther than white even further. Do it, JKR. You alone have the power.

The fact that he's Black shouldn't be a surprise either, you can find several French speaking Black people with the name Blaise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_(name) Literally typing Blaise in Wikipedia would have solved the matter.

I'm actually a bit shocked (I feel naive as gently caress) because I thought the controversy over Rue was that she wasn't dark skinned ENOUGH in the Hunger Games movie? She is quite clearly described, along with Thresh, to be really dark skinned and the girl cast is black, but somewhat lighter in skin tone. I had no idea people wanted her to be white. It just made more sense to my brain that people would be muttering about white-washing than..the opposite. Wow.

 I can somewhat imagine the reality being a clerk having to suffer through idle chit chat about the show, based on the logic of "you work at the ABC Shop, you must! love Who" while trying to scan the products as fast as possible. "Mummy..." pipes up the small girl "...I don't want to smell like her". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5v2JA4Vj_s

The fact that people think Doctor Who is an extremely deep show with loads of hidden meanings is just hilarious, it's just another trashy BBC series like Merlin or Atlantis, I do watch it, but since I live in the UK, it's never been that special, it's just sort of there.

Wait, Dr Who is aimed at an "older audience?" Are there dalek sex scenes I don't know about? I'm fairly certain that the show is supposed to be a family show aimed at all ages, and has always been the case ever since the very first series. But, then again, this is stdh-land where people complain that popular show is popular.

The Scottish(?) accent was at least a little surprising - it was either not mentioned or made little enough of in the books that I expected her to speak like all the other characters. No doubt there were a bunch of people who calling bullshit because you can't be Scottish AND Chinese, duh.

Yeah, reasonable people were raising that concern, because she really wasn't nearly as dark as the book leads the reader to think. The same can be said for Katniss though since she's described as olive skinned, which Jennifer Lawrence is not. But she rocks in the part anyway.

You see. there are gay characters here and there, so the show's extremely progressive and mature. Even if it's a lizard lady married to her handmaid and they live in Victorian England and are real-life prototypes for Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.

Is it adult in the same way My Little Pony is adult? Meaning that it's older fans try to find adult humor in things where it is not there?

You mean that it's a kids show written by adults for kids who sometimes insert funny little throwaway pop-culture references kids couldn't possibly understand because the authors find it funny? It's probably exactly like that, but some spergs point it out as evidence that NO YOU SEE ITS REALLY FOR THE ADULT FANS See also: This scene from Nickelodeon's iCARLY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmYFzKbeIPA

Doctor Who is more of a family show, for kids and their parents. They made a kid's show spin off http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sarah_Jane_Adventures and an adult one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torchwood

I've always assumed The Doctor and his companions are casually loving. It make the stupid "romantic tension" less of an issue an I can enjoy my stories about alieums for babbys.

The way my friends talked about Dr Who I thought it was I'm the same vein as star trek and battlestar galactica. Not that either of those are high art, but Dr Who is definitely more aimed at children than those.

I can believe that and I kind of feel for the customer. I get a lot of older people who've hesitantly stepped into electronic devices or computer programs, and just when they feel they've mastered it (about 10 years down the line), something changes up again.
