This. I see some green hair behind the dude with the camera so that's probably Beast Boy.

Bets on which will cause more nerd rage, Beast Boy not being green skinned or Starfire.

it's Starfire because nerds are awful

Beast Boy not being green isn't so bad because he was white before the stuff happened that made him Beast Boy. But you can't prove that there's such a thing as a black Tamaranian, and because all other fictional planets have entirely homogeneous humanoid species, there's no way to infer that there would be. So please stop messing with my precious commercial property and keep everyone white or white approximate so that I don't have to think about things. Thank you.

That just looks like her costume isn't very warm so she's wearing her own jacket over it.

They're filming in Canada, so that really is just a coat they gave her between takes. Some of the other shots show other actors in similar big coats. (God, I hope.)

On my film, I was at least kind enough to wait until we warmed up before doing a bunch of scenes with people in shorts and T-shirts running outside.

Too bad for the guy wearing a boilersuit in every scene, though.

THUNDERDOME LOSER 2020

quote:

[–]Eryemil 3 points 3 months ago
It's easier to change biology than it is to change society---or at least it will be within my lifetime. All we have to do to completely take away women's social power over men is to discover a means to allow men the choice to become bisexual. At the moment women couldn't hope to compete with men in terms of sexual desire and common interests; the only thing that gives them so much power is that straight men have no other choice. The most beautiful thing about this is that I don't think this would work in reverse (making women bisexual, if they aren't already) because of women's evolutionary derived meta values i.e. hypergamy.
Even if only a minority decides to go through with it, it will leave heterosexual males with an elevated sexual market value by virtue of their relative scarcity. You'd have a society of hetero men with harems of women eager to please him (and probably making all the babies) and a bunch of bros hanging out with their buddies playing video games and sucking each other off.

Sure, if by "heterosexual", he means "bisexual"; by "harem of women", he mean "any number of partners, of any/all genders" and by that curious omission of his place in it all, he means "dying alone".

Now I can't find this tweet. It was a reply to the galaxy brain meme with the joke being "Let's cast cis actors/actresses in role of Trans characters" and the person is trying the whole "Actors/Actresses is about pretending to be something you're not" and I wish I can beam the reasoning why that's so wrong with how he would never consider the same excuse for using white people to play characters of color.

Let alone just the fact that "Hey there are some really good trans actors/actresses out there who would probably love to be able to represent trans people properly on the big screen but no one gives them the chance. And that maybe Trans actors/actresses would bring some personal experience to the table that a cis actor could not.

And also that there should be some sort of creative input from the trans community on representation of the trans community within film. Like you would as part of research for any other film role. Plenty of people will hire military advisers just so the military jargon and squad movements feel true to life.

I know you're trying to be inclusive but keeping actor alone would have been more so, since that's the gender neutral term and doesn't exclude non-binary actors (often grouped in with trans people.)

Okay, thank you for the correction. I was just unsure myself. Actor felt good enough on its own at first but then that tingle in the back of my brain won't let me walk away.

Add to this that cis male dickheads like Matt Bomer playing trans women on screen keeps kicking the "man in a dress" can down the road, so that people like me keep being seen as men in dresses and get loving murdered for it.

A few weeks ago our local one had some lady trying to ID some teenager that t-boned her or something. She was very serious in trying to find out who this was so she could go over and talk to the parents.
