Sydin posted:1. Lindsay put out a tweet saying there should be a genre for YA fiction that's ripping off Avatar the Last Airbender, and pointed to a particular movie written by Asians as an example (Raya and the Last Dragon). A Walt Disney Animation Studios movie that was conceived, directed, and written by white people who then brought POC on board later to “touch up” the script. People really falling for the whole “woke Disney” schtick hard. Augus fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Mar 28, 2021 |

Endorph posted:i dont think the criticism was 'raya is woke dont compare it to avatar,' the criticism was 'not everything that has asian influences is the same' Avatar and stuff inspired by it use a mash-up of various Asian cultures as a backdrop for a story rooted in western Hero’s Journey tropes. Raya and the Last Dragon uses a mash-up of various Asian cultures as a backdrop for a story rooted in western Hero’s Journey tropes. It’s a valid comparison between two American cartoons.

There were still more Asians involved in the screenwriting process than AtLA's none, and this is what the original person who touched all this off was mad about in Lindsay's comparison. lmao I don't think Disney is woke cool your jets.

Like the tweets are deleted now because account deleted, but in that thread linsey brings up other shows in that same genre definition that weren't asian-influenced. The comparison was in story structure and execution, not cultural mashup. Why explaining this wasn't the entirety of her response is beyond me.

The infamously whitewashed Last Airbender movie had an Indian-American writer/director/producer who hand-picked the actors he wanted to be in the movie.

You do realize I'm not the person who tweeted and Lindsay about this right? I was just summarizing the events for a poster who was asking for one, not trying to make any kind of statement on the validity of the complaint.

Dapper_Swindler posted:except the fascists arnt acting in good faith at all and will shoot you in the back of the head the second. so pushing minorities and their plights under the bus just because of corpo woke culture exists and some hope that "well this time the fascists and reactionary fucks like ted cruz, will work with us" is loving stupid. i am sorry. and no offense but your logic leans pretty strasserite. I didn't mean to imply that we should dismiss minority plights. I'm sorry that it came across that way. I'm just sick of the way things are right now, and I want there to be some radical change. I don't even know what a Strasserite is (and I don't really care to know), so I'm just going to drop out of this discussion.

The whole production was a mess for a million reasons, M Night being a terrible choice for a blockbuster SFX franchise starter being one. The ATLA creators have basically been overridden or pushed out of the movie and live action TV adaptations of the show because someone in charge just ignored them and wanted to do something different i.e "mass marketable"

CYBEReris posted:One of the Fun Facts about labor history I find kinda disturbing in a cultural way is how redneck, which originally described striking miners who were radically pro-solidarity in anti-racism, is now a term used to describe a specific stereotype of impoverished racists from the country. I didn't know that. Interesting. I remember hearing that after the civil rights movement, a lot of middle class white people stopped being racist because they started exclusively associating racism with poor people. In other words, they didn't stop being racist because it was the right thing to do, they stopped being racist because they didn't want their neighbors thinking they were white trash. Really bleak and depressing when you think about it. Also explains some of our current social dynamics.

When she comes up in this context, my mind flashes back to her describing her need to read people insulting her on 4chan until she blocked it, and how she felt it was a type of emotional self-harm. It seems genuinely a little off, like she really likes the negative attention.

It seems genuinely a little off, like she really likes the negative attention. The internet is definitely self-harm and some of us share the same temptation as that demon core guy who couldn’t stop playing with the fissionable halves of an atomic bomb by lowering and raising them over and over again with screwdrivers. It sounds cynical to tell her to get therapy, but if the person she’s seeing isn’t succeeding in getting her off twitter, she needs to find somebody else.

I'd feel maybe bad for her if she wasn't being a harmful idiot that keeps pushing ~CANCELLED~ garbage in all the worst ways, like being criticized for caping for terfs and truscum and poo poo is something you can entirely avoid, by not doing that!

Ohhhh it's so terrible. Honestly the part that annoys me, personally, most about her behaviour in that regard is that she was fine with it when she was using her huge userbase to harass tiny nobodies off of entire social media platforms for criticizing her. But that criticism in turn was completely and utterly unacceptable.
