Morons on the internet (a.k.a. the internet) complained that casting ScarJo as the lead for Ghost In The Shell was whitewashing, because the character was supposed to be Asian. The creator said that he had no specific nationality in mind when he created her, and being that she's a robot, she could easily be any nationality, so stoping being fuckwads. The internet, of course, continued to be fuckwads, because the internet makes you stupid.

This is a really lovely characterisation of things. People were/are annoyed at a persistent trend for asian characters to be written out of things or replaced by white actors. There are a ridiculously small number of roles for Asian actors as it is. Then there's a cult anime movie, set in Japan and featuring a Japanese protagonist, getting a live action remake. And yet again they cast a white person in the role and add bits to the story to explain it. It is absolutely whitewashing and complaining about it doesn't make you a moron.

Then on top of it all Scarlett Johansson responds with this pissy open letter about how she should be allowed to play "any person, tree or animal" because that's her job or some poo poo.

She's Asian in both. :ssh:

In the original manga and anime her name is Motoko Kusanagi which is pretty darn Asian and the big twist at the end of the live action film is that ScarJo's character "Mira Killian" discovers that she's really a young Asian woman whose brain was put into a white body and all her memories/culture/identity were erased and replaced with fake implanted memories.

A number of years ago, a friend came home from Russia with a new bride. When he showed me a picture I asked him if she was Uzbek or Kazakh and he was like "Kazakh, how the gently caress did you know?" and I replied with "Because she looks part Asian" (I'm half Asian and for some reason I have always had the godlike power to tell the difference between Asian races). He grabbed me close and whispered "For the love of all that you hold dear, don't ever, ever tell anyone from the "Stan" countries that they look Asian, unless you long for the sweet embrace of death".

The live-action Ghost in the Shell movie missed their chance to justify casting ScarJo by sticking to the original manga & having her new body be a man.

BRRREADSTOOORRM!
I thought the open letter was after she caught heat for taking the role of a FtM trans person. In the letter she told people that if they have a problem with her taking the role they should take it up with Jeffrey Tambor, Felicity Huffman or Jared Leto. Three people who have played trans characters and, coincidentally, have expressed regret at it and have since pushed for more casting of trans actors. Of course then Jeffrey Tambor sexually assaulted those trans actors, Felicity Huffman bought her children scholarships to "even the playing field for her children" and Jared Leto sent used condoms to his co stars and slept with underage groupies. So, really, gently caress all this poo poo.

the creator also draws softcore porn for a living and probably didn't give a poo poo about what the hollywood studio who was optioning his work did with the character he's already optioned to japanese studios for further development of his IP. that's a big paycheck to have objections about for a character you haven't written on in two decades

No that was two separate Scarlett Johansson is clueless rear end in a top hat incidents. When she apologized for the fit she threw over the trans controversy she made sure to say that she still stands with Woody Allen entirely unprompted.

IIRC he was working on a big non-porn project but then all his notes and sketches got destroyed in the earthquake so he went back to porn

Holy gently caress I forgot about the random "I believe Woody Allen is innocent" bit because I was still reeling from the colossal pigheadedness of the first half when she said it.

The problem here as always is that it was mostly white dorks on the net complaining

The creator of the character didn't mind ScarJo. A guy walked around Japan asking people what they thought about ScarJo in the role and they were stoked a big hollywood name would play the character.

Well no poo poo, people in Japan see Japanese people in movies and on TV all the time. It's anglo Asian people around the world who deserve some better representation.
