Antonymous posted:just to be clear they removed a cousin loving / rape joke and called it a LGBTQIA2S+ 'elimination' it really takes amazing balls to tell me, a queer, I should feel that a censor removing a literal 'I hosed my cousin' joke is 'erasure' of my kind. Also yea most of that list is some seriously anti-Asian poo poo, I'm actually shocked that's just how the show is.

Antonymous posted:Crazy rich asians assumed asians means Chinese and that Singapore is an ethnically Chinese, not malay or indian, city There is one or two Indians in the movie. They are guards / servants of the rich boyfriend's family house. I think Ken Jeong and Henry Golding the only non-Chinese member of the main cast. It's a pretty unremarkable film and still has some of the "white gaze" mentioned about Dead Pigs / The Farewell, where a story about old money thinking the commoner girlfriend isn't good enough to join the family is framed around filial piety or something. Also Nick is a mamas boy himbo and she should have dumped him for that alone.

Billi is the protagonist, Haiyan is her father, and Gu Gu means your father's sister (aunt). Nai nai means your father's mother, grandmother. Mei Nu = 美女 = pretty lady [brackets] means spoken in mandarin code:

you're supposed to cut the fat, if the film was about trying to come to terms with Grandma's mortality in the face of a culture that grieves differently, you'd cut this massage scene. but that's just ostensibly the premise, the real premise (the premise is the promise the film has to make good on) is an exploration of the other. and so this scene remains because it fulfills the promise of the premise. and also she should know what that word means so it's even forcing a character to do something out-of-character to advance the premise. Grandma, who the main character supposedly was really connected to, is just the curtains on the window into the home of The Other. the audience is presumed not to have empathy but rather fascination with Chinese day to day life I'll shut up now Antonymous has issued a correction as of 03:43 on Aug 31, 2022 |

Mantis42 posted:Calling yourself two spirit is the queer version of doing the tomahawk chop. I know a few, raised on reservations, natives in southern california who refer to themselves as such. If it's sincere I respect their identities. If they're bilking liberal upper class gays out of money and speaking gigs I respect their hustle.

Throatwarbler posted:Using that word to refer to strangers is a relatively recent thing. If you left the country in the 1990s and didn't come back for 20 years and had little contact with the culture which isn't uncommon before widespread internet access, it's understandable. I haven't seen the movie so I don't know if that's the case in the movie. Mei Nu/Suai Ge (Pretty/Hansome) is basically what people used to call waitress (or supermarket sales) started in the 00s because 1, you didn't use the word "comrade" anymore and 2, you couldn't use the word "miss" anymore because it became a reserved word for sex workers. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 07:56 on Aug 31, 2022 |

sexpig by night posted:it really takes amazing balls to tell me, a queer, I should feel that a censor removing a literal 'I hosed my cousin' joke is 'erasure' of my kind. They grouped "non-traditional heterosexual relations", which apparently includes cousin-loving in America, together with LGBT+. Because why not? It's all sexual deviancy right?

Speaking of da immigrant experience, thoughts on The Namesake? Kumar from Harold and Kumar plays an incredibly compelling role in that movie and he gets to act opposite Irrfan Khan.

droll posted:Did "queer" mean "odd" before it's association with non-heterosexuality? Speaking as an older millennial my first memories of the word are that it's a pejorative, then later that only gay people could say it because they're taking it back. My mom would never use the word queer, but she says lgbt Yes. You can encounter "queer" being used to mean "strange" or "odd" in a general sense in older works of fiction. "There's something queer on the wind." "He felt queer after drinking of it."

This was genuinely a cool click from a data infographics perspective. Like it's cool to scroll through this. The author's thesis and stance are dogshit. Lmao omg china is wrong for doing the prime time style edits of sex jokes lmao. That's how china controls it's population rofl. I do not believe that the censorship done to Big Bang Theory were inherently bad, or even that much related to political control because those cut bits sucked rear end. Thank you china for removing 1.5 hours of dull zingers about these nerd's cocks and balls. For a domestic example, when I was growing up in Utah there would be mormon video stores that sold the TV or G rated edits of movies like Gladiator. So like, censorship is kinda baked into how entertainment gets packaged and altered to suit new audiences. quote:KAYSVILLE, Utah — Finally, Mark Cronin can watch R-rated films.

it was a mind-bogglingly stupid premise in the best way and should have been loving awesome, but instead it was boring and sucked. there was one good action but with the rope ladies but that's all. give that story to Chris McQuarrie and Tom Cruise and it's the world's first $3 billion movie
