I mean, the movie only covers the story already covered in the existing anime?  You might have a point if we are talking about the sequel but I think you’re just splitting hairs here.

No. I said nothing defending his comments.

Luckily Kotaku has recast all fragile white male tears with LGBTQ/PoC tears so you’re safe here.

The Ruroni Kenshin series of films is pretty decent.  Western versions?  I’d have to say Speed Racer and Alita: Battle Angel were okay too.  Blade of the Immortal maybe?

Not even 5-10 years ago a rapper could brag about murdering people, selling drugs, pimping, all laced with some of the most vile homophobia and sexism the world has ever heard and they would face zero backlash. Hell, sometimes they’d name a city street after you.  I mean we still celebrate a number of admitted violent…

Is this what the struggle is for?

Unless of course that character is white washed.  Then everybody loses their shit.

These are the same people who were upset that the Major, a completely synthetic human, wasn’t played by an Asian woman.  We live in strange times.  Identity means more than integrity and pandering buys good will.

People who depend on popularity for their income are inclined to cater their personas to become more…

thanks for the clarification.

It’s strange to me how ‘cancelling’ Mike Richards has seemingly gotten 10x the press that Trebek’s passing did?

Actors make fun of the physical characteristics of their costars every single day. This wasn’t someone in an office setting making fun of the lady in the next cubicle for being fat this was the comedy writer of fictional characters suggesting dialogue well within the bounds of the same exact style humor already seen in…

What percentage of these are straight up trolling? <says the grey troll>

“Jim, you’re six eleven and you weigh ninety pounds, Gumby has a better body than you. Boom roasted. Dwight, you’re a kiss-ass. Boom roasted. Pam, you failed art school, boom roasted.
