Yeah, I’m honestly not sure what the author wants.

I feel like some people wouldn’t be satisfied unless Harriet Tubman herself was playing the role.

My favorite Harriet Tubman was portrayed by Aisha Hinds in “Underground”. She gets her own monologue/one-woman-show episode, and it’s excellent.

This idea of “role purity” has reached farcical proportions.

Oh for fuck’s sake. The whole politically correct casting thing is reaching epic levels of bullshit and idiocy. Disprespectful? It’s called acting. The whole point of acting and playing a character is to portray someone else. Pretty soon the diversity nazis will start demanding that actors playing a role have the…

In fairness, she’ll also have to apologize to “Gymnastics Nation.”

the diminution of black physical characteristics to make a character more appealing to a wider audience

While I am not a 3d modeler myself (computer programmer instead) I have worked with 3d modelers and have put those models to use in mods for various games. I can tell you without a doubt that the color changes from scene to scene was not because someone went back and changed the color of Tiana’s skin. They are purely…

I used to work in lighting, and it actually does legitimately matter. The size of the kid and the hair will all affect where shadows fall, etc. Not saying this was the best solution. Ideally, they’d find a kid the same size, hairstyle and complexion. But that’s on the casting department. The lighting people did what…

Oh fuck right off! This wasn’t “blackface” this was nothing more than makeup for the sake of lighting. I know you have to make your daily offerings to the altar of outrage but you are going to fucking pull something with the stretching you are doing here. Seriously, if you are actually offended by this then do the…

well the best proof would be that the machines are air gapped.

The remote access to the PA machines was over 10 years ago - the issue was their claim that it had never been there and it was, a decade before, but that is different from it being there now; and the present machines are not connected to the internet.

Pretty…

Some of the commenters stated that Efron was being a cultural appropriator with comments like, “My lifestyle is not something you steal and pick up just for fun.”

I remember a tweet saying yt people’s “locs” look like Grinch fingers and I haven’t been right since...

Yeah, fuck everyone that didn’t vote in 2016 (Yes, relatives and co-workers. I’m talking to you!) because there were no good choices! (7+ motherfuckers on the ballot in most states?)

Because in our two-party system, you need more D’s than R’s holding seats to do anything. Who do you think the progressives are going to have an easier time dealing with, people that are already in the same party and have reasons to work out a compromise, or people across the aisle with an R next to their name who…

If there’s any “blue wave” this midterm, it’s going to be mostly this scenario, even more liberal people replacing (relatively speaking) moderately liberal candidates in areas already a solid lock for the Democrats. You might see a few seats in purple parts of the country flip their way, but the main takeaway isn’t…

“Nothing? Nothing at all? I think you’re discounting the things that did get better because things aren’t perfect. “It gets better” isn’t a promise of utopian perfection, you’re arguing against a strawman.”

Isn’t this what white people (she is Armenian I think) with privilege are supposed to do? Try to get justice and make things right?

Yeah, the same people who call every registered Democrat a “neoliberal corporatist shill” go around telling others that they can’t win over people with name-calling. And then progressives wonder why they lose elections.
