i just meant the new movie. usually there are one or two insane hot takes from various idiots who are deemed "intelligent" when a big movie/video game comes out or is announced.

Here's one straight from our own forums!

Jay (incorrect opinion): "I still have a fondness for the Toby McGuire Spidermen"

Me (extremely correct opinion): "I already saw spidermen. it was made in 2000 and stared Toby McGuire. I'm not going to hand the white slavers at Disney any more money to see a movie I already watched 17 years ago."

doesn't look like anything to me, just a woke opinion from a cool-rear end dude who has lots of friends, who call him up and say "Do you want to see the Spider-Man", and he looks down and whispers "No."

The idea that they're "the same movie" is the hot take part, not that you don't want to see it.

Oh, also the whole "white slavers at Disney" bit, I guess.

That is what you quoted idiot.

Why specifically is the love interest always white? White partners are oftentimes the ultimate signifiers of successful assimilation for THEMSELVES AND THEIR ETHNIC CIRCLE. This is not about you white people. Here is John Cho on that:


Kumail himself calls himself in a way:


But please continue to tell me what conversations can and cannot be had when we talk about race on screen. 1991 was the last time a notable film featured a South Asian NOT coupled with a white woman. Aren't we trying to get away from perpetuating the ideal of white beauty?

To take a different tack here, it's a little weird that the conversation here is all about what the man chooses, as if the women involved are interchangeable objects whose purpose is to signal a man's political position. Obviously this is being critiqued as well, but the critique isn't really escapung that aspect of the problem.

Also, as a white guy the only recent-ish notable romance featuring anyone from the general area of SE Asia I can recall recently was Slumdog Millionaire :shrug: There's a bit of a limited sample size in general, and non-white men with white women is notable for being the only relationship barrier that was previously not only violently enforced, but used to justify preemptive violence and imperialism.

Yeah, the idea that Disney is some sort of sex symbol manufacturer is ridiculous.

That's...not what white slavers means, thought? Like, at all?

Like, how did you make the leap to me saying "Disney doesn't market using sex appeal" from that?

a bunch of nerds got mad about a dumb thing, (some chick loving journalists or some poo poo that may or may not be true) and it blew up from there. the journalists closed ranks and inadverntly poured gas and the nerds went super hard loving right and pretty much birthed the alt right or at least part of it. now its mostly dead sorta, the gamergaters became alt right and basicaly suck off any of the broke brain talking heads, the journalists got better and the victims either went underground or milked the mother fucker for all they got, money, books/activism, a senatorial campaign(cant really blame them).

an utterly unnotable game developer chick slept with a dude who wasn't her psycho bf, he posts a Grand Cultural Manifesto against her (including on SA which had the best response imo in that it was gassed and deleted ASAP) and the internet turned it into a rorshach test for where you fell in the nu-culture wars, and everyone said it was stupid and didn't matter outside of twitter, and then The Donald took an escalator downstairs to make his first Presidential announcement...

White people own the movies and so naturally they push an agenda of assimilation because they don't like other ethnicities existing.
