GitS doesn't count either as ScarJo was not in yellow face

Should they have made that change from the source material? That's a different question.

I'd say casting Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan is much worse even though the original actor wasn't the correct ethnicity either

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Drunkard%27s_Walk]The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives [/url1]is a really good book and has a chapter on the fact that even though studio executives get the credit and blame for hits and busts, they could do just as well flipping a coin. It's like the entertainment industry's equivalent of monkeys throwing darts at the Wall Street Journal. I'm very confident that this will make worse decisions and follow the usual trend of making the decision making process significantly more racist (anyone remember that article from 15ish years ago about bias among moviegoers about the fact that you can't reliably get white audiences to go see a movie with a black person in the lead role unless it's Will Smith?)

Aside from the fact that it's objectively wrong, even if it were as simple as there being one gay gene, one trans gene (no pun intended), and one pedophile gene, this is why the naturalistic fallacy is a fallacy. Being gay or trans doesn't hurt anyone except your pearl-clutching grandmother, being a pedophile puts other people at risk. There's absolutely no equivalence. Homophobes and TERFs say basically the same thing but flip it on its head and try to say that LGBT+ people are dangerous when they're the violent and hateful ones.

12 Years A Slave was delayed for years because movie executives insisted that the movie needed a white hero in it. Eventually the director relented and allowed a brief scene where Brad Pitt helps the protagonist regain his freedom.

also the vibe of that movie, and it is probably accurate to the POV of the real life Solomon Northrup, was that an educated freeman wasn't able to escape the racial caste system of America even though everyone could plainly see he was not a slave.

But then idk it really seems like it's some kind of special injustice that he should be there, not like the other slaves born into that system. When he is discovered and goes back to NY and doesn't return to help any of the slaves he met.

It's plays like a wrongful imprisonment story rather than an abolitionist story anyway what do I know

There is no algorithm. It's just c-suite fiat. If an algorithm told an executive to light his dick on fire he'd dumpster it and tell the nerds to make another algorithm.

well yeah the film was made to appeal to modern american sensibilities. its can't be too over the top with the anti-slavery stuff because black people in america still occupy the lowest tier of economics. we just dont call that tier slavery any more (unless you go to prison, then its just slavery)

I'm confused by these posts. I thought he did get help from a white Canadian to finally get out? Was that stretched in the movie or something?

I thought he spent the rest of his life fighting slavery in the north until he up and disappeared with the implication being he was kidnapped again?

It was commercially unfeasible to make a movie about slavery until they gave an A-list celebrity a role as a white savior.

i wonder about that sometimes because im also dubious, but sometimes i think there's maybe something to it. im so entirely disconnected from the big mass of people who are way more invested in celebs and pop culture generally that I feel theres a good chance my instincts are wrong.

at least a few certain people get butts in seats i think. remaining Movie Stars like tom cruise and will smith for example.

maybe??? or not. i dont fuckin know

i'm real doubtful that hollywood execs are really gonna let some beep boop machine steal any of the power they get to wield over the industry tho.

In the LuLaRich documentary, the marketing guy is talking about how they got a whole shitload of people to sign up by hiring Mario Lopez (who is, like, a D-list celebrity) to show up at their leadership conference and take pictures with the "sales reps."

I'm honestly not sure what's worse about social media: the Nazis, or Mom Culture.

its not confusing, the point with the disorder is that these individuals are categorically dangerous to have around children because these guys actually act on their perversion, regardless of cause for their psychosis. so to say, pedophilic disorder psychos are the REALLY dangerous pedos

i dont really see why it matters what the cause of pedophilia is, they present a threat to other people regardless. personally i think it's a symptom of how our utterly alienating society inspires in individuals a perversion of empathy and encourages predatory behaviour as way of coping. but whatever, sociopaths are a danger to all humans regardless of causalities that led to their creation, and must be exterminated
